It's as loud as it can get. I converted 1-2k of MP3s to listenable quality with the Pro-Sound software Sound Forge with the Waves and Steinberg plug-ins and still do. I have 12GB of MP3 on my SCSI320 HD. You can't tell the difference.

How can a Buick float? Don't they have little holes in the sides?

DAMN whoever is sinking these classic cars. This is the second one. I'm forming an independent political party to stop this debacle! No more sinking floating classic cars from Cuba!

You're onto something. Those folks are the type of creative people we should welcome with a parade. Or better!

Cue the "Lowrider" music...

Believe it or not, the guy who did this is in Sweden. With this, he would win the Friday night parade on El Cajon Boulevard.

Gotta love that Cuban ingenuity.

Is there anything that can be done to help them?

"DAMN whoever is sinking these classic cars."

My guess is, the Coast Guardsmen are too young to really appreciate a classic automobile and just not hip enough to dig what these Cubans are doing to get to freedom.

Another one of my guesses is that the Cubans are figuring that the Americans would not rip into a classic icon like a '59 Buick.

Sad.

The PT Cruiser comes off the line raked and chopped and all anyone can say is. "Yabut it's just a body on a Neon frame"

So freepin' what?!

If The Gravedigger logo wasn't so heavily patented ....

I don't know. You'd think there would be a list of businesses wanting to help. Maybe there are.

Mexico is a free country, and we say "come in, don't worry we'll let you stay".

Cuba is a gulag prison, and we say "don't you dare try to come over, 'cause if we catch you, we'll send you back to your prison hole!"

If the Mexicans can get a free pass, then daring souls like this certainly can!

They need to say "somos mexicanos" --- then they can stay.

Here's a quote from an earlier article...........

"When you are so sure of what you have to do you cannot be afraid."

"My cousin isn't crazy. He wants to be free," Lopez told the newspaper. "That's how crazy he is."

That Says it ALL.

All Cubans who use such automobile/boats should be allowed into the United States. These guys were with 10 miles of US soil.

Those poor guys had the ingenuity and determination to try this twice, just to be sent back to Cuba!

Yeah,that's terrible. I wonder why they want to come here? Don't they know America is evil? <sarcasm
