Underwater convertible?
 
Seems like sort of a bad idea, but they're making them.

It's called the sQuba.

There are pics on the web (couldn't link to them) that better show off the convertible feature -- with driver and passenger using scuba gear, of course.

Ziplock baggies in the glove compartment.

How do you get it out of the water when you get to the other side?

Drive it? That's what they do with car/boat combos.

...and that targa top better be on. You get a school of jelly fish caught in there with you and your f-ed.

They showed this on the news here in Ottawa today. They actually had video footage of it cruising along underwater with two people in the car wearing regulators and stuff. Looked just like someone drove their Elise into the river for a cruise lol

That'd be fun. If the water was warm. Alaska,,NO. Bahamas,, YES.

This is analogous to those sit-down electric shopping carts.

Scuba for the handicapped, or the terminally lazy.

When it's got a dry, pressurized cockpit, I'll take it seriously.
