@_L1vY_ I love, love, love that they got him on not having a valid boat license.

There was an Instagram link too but that seemed even worse to link to

@_L1vY_ No, Sir, we meant wade metaphorically into uncharted waters.
@kimlockhartga @_L1vY_
I've never heard of wade mode, but given how the driver has proven his IQ by purchasing one of these things, I'm not surprised by the result. -

@_L1vY_ This product, by the man who bought the James Bond Lotus Esprit and promised to make it a real sub.

@L1vY@mstdn.social Apparently one of the crimes he was charged with was not having a license for a boat. But you don’t need a license to have an anchor!

@_L1vY_ Reminds me of when people thought the first iPhone was waterproof because of some YouTube video. It's wild what happens when marketing hype meets reality, especially when the reality involves a multi-ton vehicle sinking.
