Summary

LBJ took "unsuspecting victims" for a drive in the German manufactured "Amphicar" and careened off the road towards the water shouting "The brakes don't work, we're going in, we're going under!" Maybe it was more than just a practical joke: perhaps he could test the mettle of prospective staff members or just break the ice a little and soften his image. LBJ loved the novelty and gadgetry of the little blue convertible that could also serve as a boat.
