As much as I think that would be awesome my wife isn't even comfortable in underground parking lots, I don't think being underwater is going to be any better.

Bombardier just announced the Global 8000 as the 'fastest' private jet available. it has a range of up to 8000 miles and can attain speeds of up to 717mph, which is about 90% of the 767mph needed to go super sonic. interestingly, the air frame the G 8000 is built on broke supersonic speeds during testing. no word on price, but being as big as it is, no doubt absolutely ridonculous!

@moocow well, the Harrier F2 is a hair faster than the G 8000, but only space for 2, not 19 and terrible range in comparison, LoL!

be a helluva lot more fun though, that is for sure!

The car is ugly as sin and affront to me personally since I'm a classic BMW owner. But damn that rear screen is nice but better have some movies on a drive or very nice 5G internet.

The 2023 BMW 7-Series Has a 31-Inch 8K Theater Touchscreen in its Backseat

The giant touch display will automatically close the sunshades when you turn it on.
