Hey Nomen, you going to go buy one?
Designing and manufacturing a car that flies would be pretty easy. Making one that lands is the hard part.
They say the hardest part about flying is the ground.
I think we're making more progress getting them thar cars to swim...

I haven't read the story yet, but the current issue of Esquire magazine shows a prototype for a flying car. I think it's a VTOL.
At least since the late 1950's, and probably before then, flying small planes or flying cars have intermittently been proposed as car alternatives. The thing that would scare me is that there are so many more things to worry about in a plane than there are in a car. At least when a drunk driver speeds through my neighborhood, I don't have to worry about him crashing into my roof.
Actually I remember an accident where the guy went off a high embankment and thru the air into someone's roof.
Take a look at this link:

I realize freakish stuff like that does happen occasionally. Someone once accidentally took my old corner too fast, hopped the curb, and crashed into my neighbor's doorstep, but at least he didn't hit from the air. We've had a few other car-attacks-house wrecks in my city too.

Jeez-- they way people drive on solid ground, you want them FLYNG too!
