I remember being a 4 or 5 year old kid in the early 80′s and my grandfather told me that by the time I was old enough to drive we would be driving flying cars. Being the wisest man on the planet, I took my grandfather’s word as the gospel truth. It wasn’t until later that I realized his disconnect with technology and, of course, wishful thinking.
It’s 2010, and I still want my flying car. Terrafugia may be the first company to bring us a flying car that is registrable at state DMVs across the US.
It’s not quite the hovercar that I had imagined when my grandfather explained how it would work, which was further embellished when I saw Back to the Future III. However, it’s very cool to see this thing take off and land.
Word is that it’ll be on sale next year for a cool $185,000. I’ll probably hold out for my hovercar though.
