Amphibious RVing for the Masses
Diesel Dave writes "from the this ain't your grandma's amphi-mobile dept: Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International, LLC, is now marketing their
TerraWind line of combination
Motor Coach / Yachts. Thats right, a 42 foot Luxury RV you can take to, or in, the lake! With a not exactly cheap pricetag of $850K+, included is the full rigging of luxury home features: Granite countertops, marble floors, teak cabinetry, tracking satellite dish, and 42" plasma TV. Oh and don't forget the swim deck. If I can get one with an ocean rated hull, machine gun turrets,
and SVO conversion,
I'll have my own portable Sealand.

A (temporary) mirror of the site is
here to lessen the / . effect."
Until they sink, like Boston Duck Tours did a couple of years ago.
Of course it's rare to find a CLIT on Slashdot. I am totally and utterly shocked. I mean, I didn't think there was anything but guys here...
It's what trailer folk can buy when they win the lotto!
When you want to dump your waste tank just jump in the local lake.
Phisteria are us!
Finally, my parents can evacuate when a hurricane or flood threat is looming. I'm buying my parents this as soon as I make $850,000 so they can cruise to safety while making cheddar cheese omelettes and listening to Willie Nelson.
What the hell is happening to slashdot??
And for quick trips to the shore and scouting, it comes with a dinghy made out of a Fiat convertable. :)
anyone else picture Bill Murray and Harold Ramis driving this in Czechoslovakia?
"Come on, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia, it's like going into Wisconsin."
"Well, I got the sh** kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it. "
"Prices from the $850,000's"
Please to note the 'from'. Eek!
For that price, I'd expect the weapons systems to be included (with ammo). Forget Sealand, I'm thinking more along the lines of Damnation Alley! Ohh, the choice of bumperstickers for one of those babies..."Tailgaters will be shot," "I brake for NOBODY," etc.
The cubans have had those for years;

CAPS LOCK IS LIKE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!

What is wrong with you people! Are you so afraid of the great outdoors that you can't spend a couple of weeks without your Pop-Tart-O-Matic?
Granite countertops, marble floors, teak cabinetry, tracking satellite dish, and 42" plasma TV?
You youngsters have it so easy these days. Back in my time our cars would only go on land. If we wanted to travel across water we would lash a few logs together with our bare hands. We didn't have no blinkin' plasma TV either, all we had for entertainment was a deck of cards, and we only had 3 suits! Amphibious RV...Jesus Christ...
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
I nominate the first group of people to pay $1million+ for one of these and attempt to take it out into water for a Darwin Award, after they dredge for their bodies.

I'll be impressed when I can have my Winnebago fly around in space and get chased by a giant transforming vacuum... at ludicrous speed!
I think it's more of a vehicle for retired pirates.... an ARRR!-V, if you will.
Tweet, tweet.

Hmmmm. Now where have I heard that before?
I love the smell of Karma in the morning
