Oh, man. I’m just picturing that now. I may have to start ducking a lot!

Finally, the flying car I have been waiting for since the Jetsons. Really more like a flying motorcycle. I want one.

I love it!! I could fly right over the traffic and through the roundabouts. If it can be equipped with a golf bag holder, it could also save a lot of wear and tear on the golf courses.

I think the idea of limiting them to 16 ft in altitude is a good one. Just enough to go over a tractor-trailer or a train.

I can think of a few people who would like NOTHING more than to have one of these to buzz around TV in. Very cool!

Sadly, $80K for a toy is just a tad above my price range. But if I could afford it, it would be in my garage in a heartbeat. Way cool!

With more power and mulching blades it may stand up to Bush and small tree trimming! That would be bad ass.
