Introducing -- the sQuba --
REAL! The Swiss have invented an amphibious convertible, and it can dive up to 30 feet!

This is the James Bond-iest thing to come out in ... FOREVER!!!

The one thing that makes me "meh" about land-bound convertibles is that my hair is wavy/curly and tends to tangle massively when whipped into a frenzy by wind.

That literal snafu is now history! However, the amphibious convertible is not exactly an easy ride --

CNN says, "You’ll have to break out the wetsuit. The car has an open top, meaning that the two passengers are exposed to the elements. Passengers will be able to keep breathing underwater through an integrated tank of compressed air similar to what is used in scuba diving. The sQuba’s top speed on land is about 77 mph, but it slows down to 3 mph on the surface of the water, and 1.8 mph underwater."

Still -- I would so roll that phat ride!

Can you take the blue from the sky? Can you put the wind in your pocket? Can you catch a rainbow? No! Such is sQuba!
