    Default Liberal darling Musk plans to make underwater car




    Elon Musk’s next car is a submarine.


    The PayPal/Tesla/SpaceX founder has confessed to being the anonymous bidder that recently won the Lotus Esprit-based submarine featured in the James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me” at auction for nearly $1 million, according to Jalopnik.com.


    The car was the star of one of the most memorable scenes in movie history, where 007 drives it off a pier and into the water then turns it into a submarine at the press of a button.


    Musk says he remembers the car fondly from his youth in South Africa and was “disappointed to learn it can’t actually transform.” Six versions of the vehicle were built for the film, each one with a different role. While this one -- nicknamed "Wet Nellie" -- was a functioning submarine, it wasn’t engineered to drive.


    “What I'm going to do is upgrade it with a Tesla electric powertrain and try to make it transform for real," he told Jalopnik.




    That's an upgrade? At least this one can't catch fire if it's underwater..









    I wonder if Obama will give Tesla another loan for this boondoggle?
