I Want a Flying Car

I really do want one of those Sky Cars by Moller International (in Davis CA).   I have a driver’s license, which is all I need. When I’m accused of “flying low” in my car, I could respond, “Of course!”  I could drive along the freeway until I hit heavy traffic, then take off and fly above it. ..well, maybe not, since it will go only 30 mph.  I’m not sure how it will land, whether I’d need a little runway before pulling into a parking space. Or how many miles per gallon it will get.  Or how expensive a parachute is (can’t be too careful).  Or how much it will cost.  Or how the heck I’d get into/out of it. Or whether the test-model, due out at the end of the year, will even work.  But it’s cute.  And red, my favorite color.  I don’t care.  I want one!

Earth Friendly Tip: High Cost of Idling

Avoid drive-throughs, warming up your car, talking in your driveway with your car running, and other needless idling, which releases double the emissions of a moving car and adds to air and noise pollution.  It costs you a bundle in wasted gas, too: Americans squander at least $2 billion worth of fuel yearly on this activity.
