Flying cars are history...

There was a flying jeep developed in WW2, using autogyro principles, and intended to be towed like a glider. Apparently it worked, but somebody realised they could get more than just a jeep into a glider, and that needed fewer pilots.

Though a Land Rover has a PTO so that could drive a propellor.

I point you at this: http://www.aerocar.com/
There's only one flying example in the world, and the guy who owns it is planning to make an addon for a Lotus Elise sports car!

These non-sequitur messages make my tiny brain hurt. Now I instantly forget what I was going to post on, but it sure wasn't flying cars.

Oh, yeah, right: isn't that guy the Predator of the eponymous films?

I don't think he has a flying car, though. But you know the guy I mean. The one in the post I'm responding to.

Looks like the Predator monster to me...

I don't know if it's copyright law or trademark law which would count, but if a Hollywood lawyer can't invoke the DMCA on this, he isn't really trying.
