Now you can have your car and fly it, too

Long lines at the airport. Flights delayed or canceled. Increased security making the wait longer and figuring out “Am I allowed to bring this bottle of shampoo or will it be considered a weapon?” I mean, it’s not even like they give us the free drinks and snacks anymore to make up for all the inconveniences. Traveling by air has lost the allure for many, and often the wish is that we could have simply done the trip by our own car. If it wasn’t so impractical mileage-wise that is. Well, the Terrafugia Transition may just be the genie in your tired-of-airports bottle.

There have been hints and rumors of it coming, and now it arrives…the flying car. Nope, no joke. The Transition is a two-seater automobile that in just thirty seconds can transform into an actual plane that goes 115 mph for up to 450 miles. On the road, it is front wheel drive and can go highway speeds, and it fits in a normal size garage when in “auto” mode. Both modes run on standard unleaded gasoline that you can buy at any gas station.
