    So glad the format of this didn't change season to season :D My favorite Jalopnik show, hands down.

      Actually I take it back - it's definitely a bit longer and the editing is more energetic too. I love this, keep up the good work guys!

      They forgot to mention with Amphicars you are supposed to grease a whole bunch of hard-to-reach areas (including beneath the rear seat...which you have to remove) after EVERY off-shore excursion.

    You forgot to tuck up the wheels. Maybe that's why it didn't perform so good in the water?

      @emanuelburgest95 5 років тому +2

      nah the old guy said they tuck up and get held up in the body. thats why he said don't turn the wheels when in the water or they will hit the plastics. Jasons wheels were completely in the water all he did was lower the air suspension

    @cartmanrlsusall 7 років тому +13

    the wheels must have been down in the water there is no way an amphicar can outrun a jet drive,I have seen footage of those cars high on a plane moving nicely.he did something wrong to go that slow.

  • @BilgemasterBill

  • @bradleyj.fortner2203
    @bradleyj.fortner2203 6 років тому +1

    I like the Amphicar better. It's got it beat in looks and performance on the water. Which is the only place it counts with these things.

  • @tonysmith2360
    @tonysmith2360 6 років тому

    I think you are supposed to switch to jet after you get into the water otherwise it's bearings are running dry. Did you put the wheels up in water mode?
