I, for one, would love to see demonstrated the "totally submerged" feature.
I imagine that the driver would have trouble breathing after a few miles.
The exhaust would make pretty bubbles, but the little adapter that makes air
out of seaweed and salt water must still be under development, or classified
top-secret.
I believe we may have stumbled upon a submarine website, cleverly disguised
to confuse the enemy.
Want to buy a bridge?
