For $13, it is a no brainer.  I don't even use the cable anymore, the release is on the correct side of the car!

>   That list is an outrage.  In addition to the Amphicar, it includes the Lotus Elite, DeLorean, and GM EV-1.  Are you kidding me?  Every one of these cars (and others on the list) was a marvel of engineering and design in its day, and every one is now a collector's item worth far more than it cost new.  (Except for the EV-1... nobody was ever allowed to buy those, and they are all crushed now).
