Anytime I see one of those silly concept cars that can double as a boat I always ask myself who the hell would want one? It's just a crappy boat and crappy car duct taped together!

I think there was an actual production car that did this, I remember seeing it in a movie and also reading some random trivia of a us president enjoying pranking friends by driving into lake.

Yeah the Amphicar and of course it was President Johnson who had one and pranked people. I got to examine one up close, it is a cool little 60s convertible with a retractable clutched propeller, probably super dangerous but looks fun.

I’m still amazed the cyber truck was advertised as being able to function as a boat, but also can’t get wet.

Edit: apparently this voids your warranty, despite the CEO saying it’s fine.
