I give you, the flying car.

According to Popsci.com:

"The Transition is not a flying car. The vehicle, set to go on sale next year, will cruise smoothly on the road and through the sky. It will have four wheels, Formula One–style suspension, and a pair of 10-foot-wide wings that fold up when it switches from air to asphalt. And when the engineers at Terrafugia in Woburn, Massachusetts, let me sit inside their just-finished proof-of-concept vehicle and grab the steering wheel, it’s easy to imagine piloting this thing up and out of traffic, into the open skies.

"But we’re not talking about a flying car. The Transition is a “roadable aircraft.” The team makes this distinction clear in conversation, on Terrafugia T-shirts, and in big, blue letters on the side of the trailer outside their shop."

The most beautiful words yet spoken: available next year. The frickin' flying car!

The flying car will answer all our problems. Congestion, high gas prices and worries about rebuilding our infrastructure - long forgotten.

Granted, accidents in the air could be a little more damaging than those on the ground. Maybe there's a silver lining to that, too, in a kind of thinning the heard way. Anyway, you'll be in a flying, frickin' car!

The sky is literally the limit. 

I have been asking people for years what  they would give up for a flying car and the answer is nearly always, like, my left arm, my ACDC collection, my wife. It;s right up there with the ability to be invisble and to astrally project yourself, all noble pursuits, but nothing compared to the flying car.

First presidential candidate to mention the promise of the flying car gets my vote. How about you?
