Up, Up, and Awaaaay!!

This is something that I was reading about a few months ago. In every old-fashioned movie it depicts the year 2000 as having flying cars and robots. Well, robots have been around for a while, and now here come the hover cars. A company named Moller has created the first official "for sale" hover car. With 67 orders for the 500,000-995,000 dollar vehicles the orders expect to be completed and certified by December 31, 2008, right in time for the new year!

The car is called the M400 Skycar. 20,000 feet is considered cruising height for these vehicles, with a top speed of 375mph and cruising speed is about 275mph. They get about 20 MPG on gas (I wonder if that's highway or city...lol) and they can tote a load of up to 750 lbs. Also, they have been deemed safe to fly if one engine fails!

If anyone is interested in ordering one and obtaining a delivery position, with a minimum deposit of $10,000 here is a contact email:
