Just in time for Christmas.... Santa Claus and his elves have invented a new water toy. It's called....... "THE WAKE WING!!!!!....... Yup, this latest "must have" is the perfect stocking stuffer for those people who must have everything. Hurry up and support this latest and greatest (and _"safe"_) engineering marvel.....

Pete,

You could rig up at your place and launch off your roof and fly down to Home Valley with that thing.

You could use this to get back home. It just needs a little trailer for the gear.

Better yet, I could bring my roof and the whole house with this thing...

Another stocking stuffer, just hope Santa can fit that thing into his sleigh?

Believe it or not, it's only a half scale prototype. The full scale size will be capable of carrying up to 3 tanks, and instead of moving at 5 mph crawl, it is projected to move around at 25 mph and can scale 12 to 16' obstacles in its path. One can only imagine how much money this project has consumed.

Just a matter of a few tweaks before this becomes the next (trendy) super SUV for Ford or GMC . With gas prices dropping so low, I'm sure most everyone in America will buy one.

Hey now.... THE WAKE WING is new and improved.... anyhow, if ya hang it on the wall it's perfectly "SAFE". I'm sure they've got a good entertaining lawyer that can explain all this to us.
