I Want My Flying Car
by Elizabeth Blair York | March 20th, 2008I can remember being told that “…in the year 2000, there will be flying cars!”
Hey, it’s 2008.
Where’s my flying car?
Seriously. I have spent about (roughly) a bazillion hours of my life either stuck in traffic or waiting for a plane to either load, taxi, land, or be something mysteriously called ‘de-iced’.
I know the best airports for WiFi, fish fry, souvenirs, tire exhibits, and a chilled cosmopolitan. (Grand Rapids, Boston/Logan, Paris/CDG, Detroit and the Ambassador’s Club in Raleigh, NC.)
I know from brutal experience the worst stretches of road for congestion. (94 coming out of Boston, Manhattan [all of it], 290 at 90/94 out of Chicago, 101 at the 405 in L.A., The Bourne Bridge on a Saturday morning in the summer, the entire 85 in Atlanta, and all of Washington D.C. until you hit New Jersey.)
But all this knowledge could become happily useless if someone would just give me a flying car.
Well, check out what Milner Motors is up to! It looks wonky, but do we really care? It’s a FLYING CAR.
Or, rather, it WILL be once they make it, uh, fly.
If you live in the New York area, you can check it out starting tomorrow (March 21) through the end of the month at the New York Auto Show.
And if you do - please take your laptop and MoGo mouse and tell us all about it!
