Chevy Boat

Normally I'm a huge supporter of our people
in uniform...but...today I gotta give our Coast
Guard a big thumbs down. It seems some
inventive Cuban people took a 51 Chevy
Flatbed Truck and rigged a raft around it made
primarily of 55 gal drums. They then proceeded
to cross the Florida Straits when they
encountered our erstwhile Coast Guard. The
Coast Guard promptly declared the Boat/Truck a
hazard to navigation and evacuated the
occupants and then SUNK IT! See pix below.
I think they should have given these people
citizenship based solely on their daring and
ingenuity. Can't say much for their choice of
colors though.

They must get the Discovery Channel in Cuba. Remember the school bus/ pontoon boat on Monster Garage? Both are cool!
