He should have gone and worked for Cogswell Cogs.

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.

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

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.

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.

"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.

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

Didn't he work for Spacely Sprockets?

“Does it come in red?”

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

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.
