That's right 279000 for a car that can actually fly. Thouogh in my opinion it looks closer to a plane than a car. It is street legal and actually does well on gas. 35 mpg on roads and 5 gallons per hour while flying. You also need 20 hours of flight instruction to fly but hey everyone has an extra 300k laying around.

I think they are heading on the right path. At least it is a car that some can afford.

I'm making plans to acquire (hopefully before the end of the year) a 1949 - 1953 Chevy 3100 truck:

That one there is a 1950 but they're all fairly similar. They don't fly but then again they also don't cost a quarter million dollars. They're about as easy a vehicle to work on as you can get too...which, for me, is kind of a necessity.

Plus, when they're all done up right with the big white sidewalls...they look bad as hell.
