[Flavius]

A flying car resembling what the Jetsons drove could show up soon at a dealership near you.

[InvisibleChurch]

He should have gone and worked for Cogswell Cogs.

[Responsibility2nd]

Does it come in red?

[Cheetahcat]

‘Bout damn time! These things have been promised for the past 50 years.

Yes this 50 year backorder crap has got to stop

[SERKIT]

SOME THINGS JUST COME BACK AROUND

[Libertarianize the GOP]

The car is designed to hold up to 250 pounds, including the driver and any cargo.

That is barely enough for one average American male.

[CIDKauf]

Never heard of mowing wheat. Maybe cut with a combine to get the wheat seed.

[ZOOKER]

Moller touts this as the cure for gridlock - you can rise above traffic jams and be on your way.

Now, who wants this eight-engine flying vegematic passing ten feet over his head?

No, thanks.

[fieldmarshaldj]

He sorta reminded me of a White George Jefferson.

[Texas Eagle]

So George Jetson worked at a job in which all he did was put his feet up on his desk and pushed one button all day and his boss was a short little bald jerk.

Sounds like Spacely Sprockets was more of a government operation than a big corporation.

The guy looks like Sony Bono...and if he keeps flying that thing he may end up like Sony Bono.

"If somebody was on a yacht and wanted go over to the beach, they would just go down to the deck and get on the vehicle and fly just above the water and over rocks and land on the beach."

Or they could take an inflatable dingy with an outboard motor. It would hold more than one person, it would go just as fast, and you could also take a cooler with beer.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Sony=Sonny for those with glasses

[UCANSEE2]

[Ethrane]

And what exactly did George Jetson do for a living anyway?

Didn't he work for Spacely Sprockets?

[Canedawg]

“Does it come in red?”

Red vehicles are involved in more accidents than other colored vehicles.

[snowman1]

Iv’e got to get me one of these.

[Elyse]

Best to take silver.

Sweater? That collar looks like it could fly too.

Have you ever seen a big fancy yacht with a little helicopter and landing pad on it? My thought when I did was: If I had that kind of money, no way I would risk it all by getting in that flimsy little thing. I'd just enjoy life on the boat.
