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

@eric @_L1vY_ @peteralee @Shanmonster "Arrested for having an unregistered boat"
-
@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!

and they say the perfect news story doesn’t exist.
Oh my god there’s video and it’s beautiful."
@_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.

@huntingdon @_L1vY_ If only that was indictable.

@huntingdon In the article it says, "he faces charges of operating a vehicle in a closed section of the park, but also with boat-related charges including not having a valid boat registration and not having lifejackets or a fire extinguisher on board the truck."
