$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.

Other:
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-

Taken while snow was at about 12", max peak 32 mph winds coming head on to my truck.



Compare to final snow drifts of 14.1 inches.



Sort of some crisp edges on the upper parts.



The indented drift or scallop between the wheel-base is interesting.



The front air dam has a pronounced affect.



It is like a well or hole.



Saves on digging it out.




I am not sure what the snow "deposits" actually depict.

I want to assume that they show an idea aerodynamic shape formed by nature, but do not know for sure.

EDIT: I should note that I had no problems with the 14 inches of snow despite the dam only 7-1/2" off the ground.

Ears pinned back, raised hackles. You think maybe he was agitated? Got out of there in a hurry for sure.
