    Doesn't a Segway do pretty much everything this thing does but better, and cooler and with a much smaller footprint, and at half the price, not to mention it being more practical.

    Inventors of this thing, you probably should have called Dean Kamen to see if he thought this sort of thing would turn out as useless as it looks like it has. Good effort, but back to the ol' drawing boards you brainiacs! #hovercrafts

    @doktavian: As much as I love Segways, they don't go on water! Ha!

    Oh wait, it can't go on water? Why in the world would they make a hovercraft that can't go on water? That's at least half the point of a hovercraft! Come on! #hovercrafts

    That is one badass MF'er... especially with two Darleks mounted on the foredeck, hopefully it has the 10k watt stereo unit upgrade with the "EXTERMINATE" sound byte preloaded. #excelsiorhovercraft

    People, do NOT buy this vehicle. I bought one last month and it was a complete LEMON. One of the fans only worked when it wanted to, and when it did, the skirt flew off, requiring me to fly in the complete 14000 man skirt repair crew to jack it up and sew it back on. And don't even get me started on the 'wood' trim accents and 'leather' interior. Complete fakes. I had to resort to driving it up and down in front of the shipyard with a big cutout carboard lemon attached to the bow, flying a flag that said 'Eastern European shipyard sold me a lemon and won't take it back.' Well, finally they did. Luckily, otherwise I'd have had to resort to aiming and attempting to hose them with the malfunctioning vulcan cannon. #excelsiorhovercraft

    @MrBangBam: Seriously? France? What next, any good digs on mimes, or lawyers? How about mother-in-laws? Have you people ever even been to France? You do know that we never would have won WWII without the French Resistance right?

    And besides, they're a lot better than those damn dirty subhuman Canadians. #excelsiorhovercraft
