You'll soon have the ability to be a rude wasteful bastard by land and sea in one convenient package:

Gibbs Technologies has launched its 'Humdinga' concept vehicle - a full time four wheel drive High Speed Amphibian (HSA). Powered by a 350 BHP engine, the 5-seater 'Humdinga' is capable of travelling on land at 100 mph and on water at 40mph.

Gone are the days of needing a hummer and jets skis to piss off large and varied groups of people in one day.

I'm glad they had enough sense not to name it the "Tsunami"...would have been a cool name though before the recent events.

I would trade my car in for one of those!

I prefer cars that can become hydrofoils:

All the ones near me have Harleys now, overnight bikers...

It was the first group to stereotype that came to mind though

It would still be a cool name. It's an entirely different topic, but I disagree with changing an intention (I haven't really looked into this, but based on your post I'm assuming that "Tsunami" was the originally intended name?) over a recent tragedy that is loosely related. It reminds of that dumbass petition to have the Two Towers renamed because of 9/11. Don't get me wrong - if I were them I wouldn't name it the Tsunami either, but only because there are too many idiots out there that would interpret the name as some sort of disrespect to the victims of Tsunami. That's just ignorant.

I thought that one up myself. I don't think they originally planned on calling it the Tsunami.

Good name though.

Tsunami > Tital Wave

Typhoon > Hurricane

In that case, my point still stands~

Would've been better than Humdinga!
