New Moller's skycar
I do believe I saw the first puff piece on the inventor in the Los Angeles Times, possibly as early as 1971, probably no later than 1974. Every now and again over the years I'll read a new report--the skycar is always just a year or two away from production. No doubt they're just waiting for fusion power to be perfected.

Do we really want casual flight made available to the Teeming Millions? Have you checked out the way they (not thee or me, of course) handle ground transport?

cordially,
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

New Sounds very much like Wiegart's "Vector"
[link|http://www.ferraris-online.com/Articles/SCM_0004.html|Link]:

In a road test by Top Gear, a British magazine, in August of 1998, the Vector was summarized as "very probably the worst car in the entire world".


Ha! :-)

Then there's that mile long ship we discussed a while ago...

edit: changed link to original source.

Cheers,
Scott.
