[ It’s not a “flying car.”]

My concern would be “self-burying coffin.”

I always think a helicopter IS a flying car. Can’t you drive it, I mean, doesn’t it taxi?

And an airplane is a flying bus.

Yep. But the article doesn’t specify the amount of weight “credited” or if these credits preclude the need for a license. Either way, I’ll stick mit mein auto.

Ah I didn’t know. Having never been in one.

But I know planes drive!

Maybe I will say a single engine Cessna is a flying car! I have seen them drive.

Yep. And we have Supremes who can’t define a woman. We’ll never have flying cars in this Can’t Do world.

"Ah I didn’t know. Having never been in one."

AVE Mizar-The prototypes of the Mizar were made by mating the rear portion of a Cessna Skymaster to a Ford Pinto.

Back in the day; Galpin Ford, had a GT-40 on display in their showroom.

The 1st flying car in the world dates back to 1917.
