Crazy? Yes. Fact? Hardly. Have you seen a running theme here? Do I sound bitter over the one simple thing that I have been promised endlessly, generation after generation of imaginitave young men making promises they just can't keep? WHERE IS MY FLYING CAR, DAMN IT?
I've never been that big on flying cars. The thought of a drunk driver ploughing into the second floor of my house at night doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. But to each his/her own.

They don't have to be flying cars to plow into the second floor of a house.
When I was in high-school, a local motorhead decided to drag race down one of the strip streets in the next town over, to add to the fun, he had a nitrous burner on his car. He used it, lost control, and managed to kill himself and his girlfriend by proving you can't steer an airborn car to avoid that house. Yes, he took out a second story bedroom (No one in, thank ghu.)

I just got a great deal on used cars that I wanted. It was tough making a choice which of the used cars to buy, but I did it.
