If Cars Could Fly

Yikes! Talk about innovation! When I was in high school it was cool if you had a CD player that you could insert and remove from you dash board and store in the glove compartment for safety. Now I think its impressive if my friend's care are purchased and equipped with iPod docks, GPSs, and parking assistance. But this!? I understand this story is over a year old but I just heard about it and decided it was worth of a blog for purpose of sharing interesting information. Never had I images a car that could fly. And even if I had I wouldn't think it was possible. 

I find it interesting how the weight limit was waived in order to produce this machine. I do not even know what to call it, a plane, or vehicle. All the necessary requirement for safe driving are provided but my biggest concern is the look of it. I do not think this car is pretty or cool when parked as a car, which I assume it will most used for primarily. Also, who has the money for this and who will really fly themselves. I wonder if a standard would be to have a certification to fly prior to receiving confirmation to even buy this car in the first place. Food for thought?
