$50k for an Amphicar? Wow!
There's quite a few of them in the Chicago area. Every once in awhile I'll see one taking a lap in the lake and then drive out right up a wet boat ramp - no sweat. Of course, never had a phone or cam handy to get a shot. Last summer, we were at a picnic at a small lake in WI. Sure enough, another appeared and just peacefully putzing along in the water. They are cute.

Seeing this the other day made me laugh and do a U-turn. Road detour directed thru some old neighborhood. Lots of stuff on jackstands. Hilarious scenery and peculiar activities. Example: Its fricken' cold out and two guys, wearing shorts and t's are walking down the road with some super large container buckets over there head!?? Whatever-
