Before today, I never witnessed a carload of Americans (as evidenced by their flag-a-flyin) drive their vehicle directly into a lake.  This afternoon while baking on the lazy banks of a Wisconsin lake, with my own eyes I saw this vehicle, known as an Amphicar.  I wish I had gotten a photo of the actual blessed event, but it was a little too far away to truly capture.

Rest assured it was exciting as well as delighting.  Almost as soon as the driving/boating party was in the lake, they were out.  Off to get some cheese, I hope.
