Lyndon B. Johnson would surprise guests at his Texas ranch by driving them down the hill in his Amphicar, claiming the brakes had gone out. Once it hit the lake, their panic would subside when they realized the car had been designed to function on water.

LBJ had some serious social interaction issues...and apparently zero shame in his D game.

Some cool facts about the Amphicar that I took the liberty to look up:

The Amphicar Model 770 is an amphibious automobile which was launched at the 1961 New York Auto Show, manufactured in West Germany and marketed from 1961 to 1968. Production stopped in 1965.

Propulsion is provided by twin propellers mounted under the rear bumper

a total of 3,878 were manufactured in a single generation.

after operation in water, required greasing at 13 points, one of which required removal of the rear seat.

One owner was quoted "It's not a good car and it's not a good boat, but it does just fine"
