All this flying cars nonsense. Yes, the technology has been around for awhile, but it just won’t happen.

Look, for $600,000 I could probably pick up a nice Bell Jet Ranger or, even cheaper, I could probably build some kit deal. However, I am never going to get FAA clearance to fly — whatever — below 500 feet and land in some mall parking lot or any area with nearby buildings, power lines, and people.

I can picture it now, some Hip Hop mogul or some trust fund kid buys one, even with a pilot’s license, and does something stupid (i.e., not out of character) and instead of killing one or two people on the road, he/she/it kills dozens or more of people after crashing into any number of structures that can cause secondary explosions or results.

Nice to dream of a purer time I suppose.

Or some muzzie loading it up with explosives and flying it into a tall building or some white structure in WDC.
Oh wait...

"But dad, I was only trying to moon the party!" he said after crashing into 50 of his "friends" next to the pool.
