He couldn't think of a better pool decoration. So he added a vette.

That's what you call "Going off the deep end"

Will diffinitely cost him more than the cars worth just to get it out. Might as well leave it there for a homemade reef, so go ahead throw some fish in there and make it an automatic acquarium.

Are you sure he didn't just build the pool around his Vette?
