At least it's affordable...

Jun 29, 2010 14:05:57 Well, they call it a flyin' car. You'd figure you're more likely to fly than drive in most cases anyway so most flyin' cars would be more plane than car. But yeah, this'n even looks like a plane.

Jun 29, 2010 14:38:18 Flying cars really are the dumbest idea ever. People are bad enough driving on the ground for Bog's sake! Now we can't even be safe from morons and drunks when we're 30 storeys up.

People fit their cars into elevators where you live?

So I guess I'm hopeful!

Drunks and morons are only dangerous in cars where you live?

I have to agree. The risks are certainly elevated. We use air traffic controllers for a reason. Pilots need to file flight plans for a reason. Flying cars are a cool concept but the ramifications don't seem to have been fully thought out. You crash your car now and you may die. You crash your car up there and you send large pieces of shrapnel heading toward the earth and endangering those below. Flight in residential areas would be especially dangerous - especially during rush hour. And weather? 'Driving' in the rain and snow just got more dangerous. Night 'driving'? C'mon! This is a novelty and nothing more. As much as we'd like to be, we're just not ready for flying cars yet.

Are you kidding? Since I was speaking specifically about their poor driving abilities, and the dangers present by them now haiving a third dimension in which to up, I'm not sure where the confusion lies or why you are having so much difficulty compreheding it.

Here, I'll make is simpler for you: Drunk/stupid drivers = bad. Drunk/stupid flying drivers = worse.

Simple enough? Can you follow it this time?

There weren't any holes the first time, either, you were just being an ass. ;)
