Seen 'End of the Spear'? Then you should find this extra-cool: http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=635469588001
I want one.

You got my hopes up. I would rather have a hover car though. Something that can do vertical take offs and landings. This thing is more of a glorified hang glider.

Dang It! I want my flying car. I was promised that I would have a flying car by 2000. It is now 2011! I want my flying car.

NO IDEA what I'd use it for, but it IS cool.

 

[macike]

This is the car I want . . . nay need . . . as my next car.

Yup. Off by one letter. He misunderstood and thought someone was offering $150,000 for a flying CZAR!

i did not get the point of "end of the spear" until he started talking about his dad. then i started going nuts as i realized who he is. i LOVED that story and grew up with it.

now, how many of those kites would it take to get an 18-wheeler off the ground?

ya, lets merge the FAA with the DOT :roll:
"electronic logbooks to go, please"

And yet again we see why Americans out-live Germans.

And merge the the FAA-DOT with the FDA for edible electronic logbooks to go, so they can be "speed composted" into their true nature!

WhiCh should, in turn, make the EPA happy. Now what words could we makw with all those letters? EPFDFADOA ... :lol:
