Gotta' love those Cubans...
Ever inventive, a truckload of Cuban emmigrants was stopped on the high seas Wednesday as they attempted to drive their '51 Chevy truck across the Straits of Florida. The "Boruck" [boat/truck] was held up on a makeshift pontoon with a marine propeller attached to the drive train. Only 40 miles short of their objective of Miami, the Coast Guard deemed their drive a little too risky and took them into custody. I only wish that I had been on the Cutter that spotted the "ship". "Sir, pick-up truck off the port bow"!
General Motors engineers are hoping to capitalize on this new technology for an off-off road sport utility vehicle tentatively named the Chevrolet Mallard. I hope their vehicle ends up on EbayŠ.
