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.

  There is an exemption for cars made before 1964

  Right...so they would have been exempt if they had used a car made before 1964. But they didn't.

  Well following the thread upstream, its not clear who the "They" might refer to.
  Clearly not the Caddy, but the sub thread was off on a Volkswagen tangent.

  No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
