Mar 11 2008Surprise!: Aircar Can Both Fly And Drive
Here at Geekologie we've seen flying cars in the past, and here comes another. The Milner Aircar can be both flown and driven. The $450,000 vehicle is capable of going up to 200 mph at 25,000 ft and 85 mph at 0 ft. This is great and I definitely need one. That way on long trips when my wife starts asking "Are we there yet?" and screaming at me for going the wrong way I can just push her ejector seat button. "Later honey!" *click* - PSSSSSHHHOOOOOOOOW!! Then I'll do a barrel roll and take aim at her with my laser cannons. *peow, peow*
Several more pictures (of a car prototype) after the jump.

but is it street legal? does it meet California's stringent pollution restrictions? how is it at parallel parking?
I'll just keep waiting for the Jetson's flying car that folds into a briefcase

For that price, one would assume it'd have a decent paint job and a decent interior, instead of those silly-looking seats. I'm still trying to picture from whence this hideousness came.

considering that "whence" means "from where", you should have just said "...trying to picture whence this ...came"

notice the last line of the usage section
"it is best, if one wants to avoid possible criticism, to avoid use of the from."
