Where the hell are the FLYING CARS?

[yvr girl]

They promised me flying cars, and I want one.

1. But then the air would be as congested as the highways.

Except at first, when the rich would have their flying cars, and we'd hate them from below. Especially when one fell on a grounded car.

:grr:

[Shadowen]

15. You mean the air isn't congested already?

*coughs and hacks for a few minutes*

10. How's the fuel efficiency?

[Floogeldy]

13. I'm guessing it probably sucks

We still have not figured out what Edward Leedskalnin and the ancient Egyptians knew about nullifying the effects of gravity.

Until that time, fuel is the only answer.

17. I had never heard of Coral Castle.

That's amazing!

19. Some weird shit went on there.

No little man, like Ed, with ropes, weights and pulleys, stacks 20 ton stones, without knowing something that we do not know.

Discover that secret, and we may discover the secret to flying without fuel.

B-)

6. I have a flying DeLorean if you want you can borrow it.

But good luck with finding the plutonium to make it work.

7. The Jetsons were full of shit, man.

[ThoughtCriminal]

9. And cities on the moon, and my rocket belt

It's 2005! We got gypped!

11. I have a friend who has given talks on this subject.

There WERE flying cars.

They were neither great cars nor great airplanes.

And do you trust the average motorist to FLY???

16. Here, start with one of these, and work your way up.

12. They Disappeared at the Same Time

that the future changed from being a promise to being a threat.

[jeff30997]

14. Were heading to a future like in Blade Runner...

But at least we'll have flying cars !!!

21. SCREWED AGAIN! NO FLYING CARS!!!

NO... FLYING... CARS!!!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. THINK, yvr girl!

Think of a crowded parking lot or any other space without traffic rules. It would be like bumper cars on steroids--only people would fall dozens or hundreds of feet.

Either that or everyone would have to have a pilot's license and learn to take off and land on instructions from air traffic controllers.

Leave flying cars to the Jetsons.
