Maybe I should get me one of those, wouldn't it be cool to fly around in one of these? or maybe do a "fly in" in a fast food restaurant.

Seeing how stupid people drive around where I am, I pray that we never have flying cars. These idiots can't handle two dimensions no less three.

The technology is there but so is human stupidity. Until we get rid of one, the other will always be risky.

But you have to admit, that is very cool.

They had been around for a while as experimental, the FAA dragging their feet
on this issue because of all those crazy drivers wanting one, making the skies
above a much more dangerous place to be. Imagine this going on in Miami?? :o

Besides, I've had one for years now: :smug:

Hit's MACH 2.5 if you're about 500 above sea level, but even so, it's pretty
good on gas. It's a bitch trying to land it, though.
