You are half-way towards making yourself a hovercraft.
It's not too late to change your mind.
Very cool, it's gotta be safer than an old VW Transport bus, right?
I wonder if the seat could ever be made to slide back in a front end collision, getting the driver's legs out of the crush zone. Maybe a large airbag could expand into the leg space as a precaution.

The bucket seat comment was funny, maybe you should make one of those "inspirational posters" and see if it goes viral.
