The world's first flying car...

The shit is serious.














































The Terrafugia Transition, a car/airplane contraption that can transform itself in 15 seconds, is the worlds first flying car.

Digest that really quick, come back to me when you re read that...

HAHAHA

Its not exactly what we all think it could be, but its damn close. I did a little bit of research, and found that no actual flight test has happen. A lot of computer generated images and videos, but still... its kind of creepy.


According to reports, a small American company in Woburn, Massachusetts has built the first prototype of the flying car, the Terrafugia. Since the beginning of the production of the car, talk about flying cars have been circulating through everywhere, except this time it seems pretty damn real. Already have ten have been reserved. The sticker price is 200,000.00 which is steep for a car, but its on the cheap for a plane. All you need is 10,000.00 to reserve one and they will be shipped to you in 2010 then you pay the rest.

lets talk about the actual car/plane the whole concept is easy, the owner will drive from his garage to the airport, where he or she will flip the switch and the car will convert into a personable flying machine that will go within 100-500 miles. All on one premium unleaded tank of gas. The concept is met with some skepticism, especially for the fact that it has to be completely compliant with air and auto regulations.

Here is a video update.




The guy is kind of boring, but its pretty interesting.




Regardless of how crazy this seems, its still very realistically possible, and that to me is the scariest thing.
Technology is slowly creeping faster than we can keep up with. One day, man will build a computerized object or some shit and will loose control, and all shit will hit the fan.


Doomsday.
