Every guy's dream car is finally a reality

Remember growing up and the types of cars you always wanted to have when you got old enough?

I don't know of one guy who didn't want to have a car that could run underwater.

Well guess what? Somebody made one.

underwatercar.jpgLeave it up to the Swiss to come up with the vehicle. The company's CEO is a big James Bond fan -- remember 007's Lotus that could move underwater in "The Spy Who Loved Me"?

This car's called the sQuba. Unlike the Bond Lotus though, you will need a wetsuit to escape the bad guys.

 

squaba.jpgThe sQuba can drive through water at a depth of 30 feet, and comes equipped with air tanks. But think twice before jumping inside wearing your best tuxedo -- for safety reasons, the car is a convertible, so occupants are open to the elements.

 

 

What's another Bond item you'd like to see make it to the market? And no, the Bond Girls do not count. (Although we will have a discussion on the hottest Bond girl ever during a later posting. That will be followed by the talk of which Bond was/is best.)

My favorite was the Electro-Magnectic RPM Controller from "Diamonds are Forever." That was a ring Q created that ensures a jackpot at the slot machines every time.

I've seen you play Bro. You need more than that ring to get lucky. I think the pasanger seat that ejects. When your girl starts talking, just push the button.

I kind of liked the Aston Martin Vanquish that Vanished. Not only is it a hot car that can really blow the doors off of the average motorist, but it disappears. Perfect when those times when you need to park somewhere, but aren't to keen on the world knowing that you're there. I'd list examples of such places, but I'm sure that can wait for another post as well.

Great, yet another awesome car that I can't fit in. Let me know when they can get an Escalade to drive underwater. Or at least, supersize the Lotus.

Ridin' through life on 22s,

It's a tossup between the ejector seat or the remote-control driven BMW 750 (via cellphone)in Tomorrow Never Dies. Need your car after eating? Pull it up to the curb. Nice trick. Of course, the Rolex and Omega watches could do in a pinch........

On second thought, forget the underwater cars and ejector seats. I want Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) as my Bond item. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know this list excludes the Bond girls, but at the risk of hijacking this blog, Ursula Andress was much more than just a Bond girl. She was an icon that permanently set the standard (never since reached or eclipsed) of the beautiful Bond woman with a sexy accent in distress. I'll take one of her.

Looky here. We have us an A.B.M. sighting. I'm not sure how you fit in the milk crate you are driving now but it would look good with 22's. As for Honey Ryder I will take any of the Bond Girls. I can't remember there being a bad one.

My favorite was the Astin Martin DB4 that Sean Connery drove in the 1st films. The Lotus and BMWs were great as well.
