    Flying cars do sound cool, but I wouldn't want everyone flying them. Imagine some idiot crashing on top of your house or backyard. At least with cars, accidents mostly stay on the streets.

      In my little Corvette terraplane, if I run out of gas I can just pull over and walk. I'm thinking that scenario gets pretty ugly at 30,000 feet... Christopher Duncan Practical Strategy Consulting Author of The Career Programmer Unite the Tribes

              It being snowbird season here, I find that most drivers have more than enough troubles handling two dimensions in real time; giving them a z-axis to play with would only be asking for mayhem. "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

                  I think the flying car is a bad idea, it would give terrorists another weapon to use. :sigh:

                          With the US military at his disposal, why would Dubya want to bother with flying cars?
