Where's My Fucking Flying Car?

The Transition is not a flying car. The vehicle, set to go on sale next year, will cruise smoothly on the road and through the sky. It will have four wheels, Formula One–style suspension, and a pair of 10-foot-wide wings that fold up when it switches from air to asphalt. And when the engineers at Terrafugia in Woburn, Massachusetts, let me sit inside their just-finished proof-of-concept vehicle and grab the steering wheel, it’s easy to imagine piloting this thing up and out of traffic, into the open skies.
But we’re not talking about a flying car. The Transition is a “roadable aircraft.†The team makes this distinction clear in conversation, on Terrafugia T-shirts, and in big, blue letters on the side of the trailer outside their shop.
Sounds like it's "not a flying car" the way Barack Obama is "not a socialist" or alexthechick "is not a BDSM freak."
Now, all we need to make the promise of the 21st century a reality is an obedient android sex slave. For um.... other, lonely guys who are not sucessful with the ladies.
