It doesn't come easy writes "Neiman Marcus has just unveiled its 2005 Christmas Catalog of Fantasy Gifts last Tuesday, and one of the items up for purchase is the prototype M400 Skycar from Moller International (for only $3.5 million US). If you've ever dreamed of owning a Skycar, this may be your only chance." From the Skycar site: "Can any automobile give you this scenario? From your garage to your destination, the M400 Skycar can cruise comfortably at 350+ MPH and achieve up to 28 miles per gallon. No traffic, no red lights, no speeding tickets. Just quiet direct transportation from point A to point B in a fraction of the time. Three dimensional mobility in place of two dimensional immobility. No matter how you look at it the automobile is only an interim step on our evolutionary path to independence from gravity. That's all it will ever be. "
Of course I like mine better. It only took one evening to "build". =)
I've been feeling funny since I went in that open crypt. Not sure what it is. | |
i've started saving up for one already.
Really, i'm not sure if any of you have noticed, but there's been a shitload of new technological breakthroughs and stuff in the past few years. Maybe it's just because i've bookmarked engadget.com as my start page... I'm talking about almost-sort-of-close-to-star-trekky goings on.
OLEDs, bendable displays, 3D floating displays, quantum computing, carbon nanotubes, space tourism, microwave weaponry, and now flying cars.
I was assured i'd be living in my apartment on the moon right now, and though we're not quite there yet, it seems we're catching up.
