"Take a $100 bill and hold it over a toilet. Then release the bill and flush it down the toilet. If at any point you make a lunge to recover your $100 bill, you are not ready to own a boat."
-- Dave Barry (paraphrased)

They say that the two best days of a boat-owner's life is the day he buys a boat and the day he sells it...

no offense taken.. but I still prefer my translation (not a native speaker by the way.. so further corrections are welcome).
He could have said "are you kidding me" in English. In that case the "you" doesn't need to refer to an actual person.

Spanish speaker here, you may prefer it but ponceleon was correct translation-wise.

'I can't believe it' would be = 'No lo puedo creer' which is more common to use, but in this case the guy used 'I cannot believe you' (where 'te' refers to 'you')

You are right in the sense that saying it is almost like saying in English something like 'you got to be kidding me' where the you does not need to be specific.
