Rinspeed Squba electric car/submarine
It's not often nowadays that you see a product that really makes you wonder about the sanity of its creators.
Meet Rinspeed Squba, an electric Lotus Elise that goes up to 75 mph on land ... up to 5mph on water and up to 2mph submerged.
This is one item where you really have to see the video to be impressed. Check out the second one where the intrepid Top Gear magazine reporter takes a drive ... and a dive.

Practicality factor about zero, cool factor off the charts. 750,000 British pounds (about $1,250,000) buys you one
Architecturally significant sandcastles!
Some people create their amazing things with sand ... and then watch them wash away ...
