Thousands of Oklahomans spent their Memorial Day weekend out on the lake.  As temperatures continue to rise more and more people may wish they could spend their days out on the lake.  But what if you could spend your day on the lake in the car?  An Owasso man is doing just that.

He owns a 1964 Amphicar.  It's one of only about 3,700 or so that were built between 1961 and 1967, by a German company.

It's probably the only car in the area with life jackets and an anchor.  It's registered as both a car and a boat.  The Surf 'N' Turf license pland says it all.  A car that is like a duck, comfortable on land and in the water.

John Davis, owner of the Amphicar, says, "The most fun is going in and out of the water past the people who are launching their boats."

John says his Amphicar is convenient because it takes a lot less work than a traditional water vehicle.  In a boat you have to unload the boat, go park your truck, then go get on the boat.  But John just drives right in to the water.

He says he actually owns a boat, but it just sits at home on the trailer.

His wife says a day at the lake is spent doing a lot of waving, especially once people figure out they're not in the water by mistake.
