The Daily Mail, Yahoo News and HackADay report that:
A couple of car enthusiasts from Los Angeles have come up with an ingenious way to car pool by converting a classic car into a hot tub.
Phil Weicker and Duncan Forster have spent nearly six years converting a 1969 Cadillac Coupe DeVille into a hot tub on wheels.
The car's original V8 engine is used to keep the water the perfect temperature, and watertight steering systems have been installed.
The guys intend to set a land speed record. Commentators note that hills should be avoided. However, given the that hottub car doesn't have seats or seatbelts, it isn't road-legal.

When they hit the brakes on the project.
All in all it is just a wash and the project builders will take a soaking.

Well they could put seats on the tub and seat belts, be it would not be safer because they could drown.

Well, any accident that could possibly hurt you would also spill all the water.
Seriously, just letting off the brake should be sufficient to slosh water out the back.
I'm amazed it moves at all.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Now that you talk about moving, I imagine the problem of the dynamics of the acceleration of a fluid must cause some really funny vibrations. Plus it would also drown them accelerating. What a useless article and invention.
