What has happened to the flying cars that the guys in florida made? I think they have parasail type wings or something like that with open metal tube frame and maybe air cooled engine in rear.

I went for a trip in a hot air balloon yesterday, which included rigging it and derigging-rig it (and fixing the winch on the guy's trailer). You could easily tow one of those behind the bus, and have a regular toad as well. And apparently it's a much less expensive hobby than I'd always assumed. And quite a challenging one for the pilot - landing the things is a bit tricky.

Cool no more storage fees from the airport. The blind spots are a bear!

Now imagine all those flying cars being flown/driven by the typical absent-minded airy-head clueless texting driver............

Here is the flying car that I would choose:

Now imagine that your M400 Skycar is on a trailer behind your bus. You climb in and take off vertically from that trailer and go to the nearest mall.

Donations for my new toad are accepted!

How soon until we see Clifford doing that with his helocopter.
