Honestly this is why we won’t have flying cars, your car breaking down on the street is one thing. Your car breaking down flying over a neighborhood is a totally different thing.
"There was a problem with the credit card used for your flight subscription. Service will be canceled immediately."
Please do not the car
Imagine how bad your average driver is on a single plane of movement. Like, they're already going forward and can move in a single other dimension and look at the chaos we already have.
Now let's go on and add the vertical axis and the exponential difference that makes in just how much a single human can utterly fuck with one or more others.
Now let's add road rage into the mix and give people the ability to straight up dive bomb anybody they get mad at.
I don't ever want flying cars in the hands of the masses. Ever.
Flying cars have existed for a while. You need a pilots license. And well they're not practical one bit. It's why they make the drone things. And those are a mess. Power lines or a strong gust of wind and good luck.
flying cars are the perfect use case for tiny dirigibles: how fast have you ever seen a blimp move?
this could never happen twice.
classic lol. Although now that I think about, I don't remember the last time I've even seen a blimp. I think anything in the air is just asking for trouble. Even the automated stuff. Too many security vulnerabilities and not enough people doing cybersecurity. Even going back to college, I don't want to deal with it more than a hobby.
i have a friend who does hot air balloon festivals and we are their cooks when we go with. outside of those, yeah it's been a while
I didn't know those we're a thing. Sounds pretty cool.
Why did it have to be an Altima?
Here's another one
Oh shit they got my picture!
Every damn time I get behind a ramped trailer I have to fight the intrusive thoughts!
Spain mastered this technology already in 1973:
I knew you would be here for us in this time of great need.
The OG "you cant park here" moment.
Ya can't park that there mate
are you sure they didn't just DoWNLoAd it?
Not yet. Clearly they just finished uploading it.
her: my parents aren't home
me:
Any car can be a flying car if you drive it wrong enough

Tap for spoiler
Flying car cheat in GTA SA
I want to say for 3 and VC too, though it's been like 20 years since I've typed that in. You can spawn a tank, spin the turret around, use the cheat, and hurl yourself across the broken bridge. You get a... 4? star wanted level, but you're in a freaking tank. Just don't stop so the cops can't open the door...
does it sing the song too?
Now this would be a rad wall painting.
You may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself
In a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
Well, how did I get here?
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife
holy shit
Every car is a flying car if used properly.
You can make anything fly with enough thrust!
(Thrust, weight, drag, and lift!)
RFC 1925 (3)
We have a perfectly good flying car at home
If you think running off the road killing a couple of people is bad, wait until some idiot runs out of gas hurtling through town at 100 KPH. The south African nazi takes out a building downtown. Damn... I've seen this movie before.
This happens in Beloit, WI, on somewhat of a regular occurrence...
Why dont people in Wisconsin grow a pair and claim the Upper Peninsula from Michigan as their manifest destiny demands?
Then weed would be illegal....
suddenly we are going to have a lot more weird parking jobs... but much better explanations for them
well i guess one of my dreams came true (literally)
That left quite the cavity. Looks like it's gonna be hard to extract.
The driver just drilled it right in there. The hole is large, but filled nicely
We'd have so many miniature 9/11s if the Roadster makes it to market as-is it'll make every tenth building look like a 1950's-themed diner.
RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR!
