As a child I always imagined that by this time in my life I’d be driving a flying Delorean, a crazy white haired guy would be my best friend, and I’d be chased around a giant clock tower by Biff while I rode my hover board. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a hover board, I have no friends with white hair, but maybe my dreams of flying around in my car will shortly be realized. The fine people at Moller International have claimed to have developed the first personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle, or as I like to call it the “I just ruined my pants” vehicle.

Since 1962, Dr. Moller (sounds like an evil villain)?has been creating vehicles that would take men to new heights. Over the years, Moller International has developed five flying vehicles and just recently they’ve unveiled their sixth; the M400 Skycar, a four seat-wing folding-ass-kicking good time. The Skycar M400 is a light weight vehicle, powered by four ethanol ( look it’s good for the planet too you hippies) thrust defection systems. The thrusters rotate allowing the M400 to takeoff vertically form virtually anywhere, and once airborne the thruster rotate again to send the M400 flying horizontally through the blue skies. With a top speed of 360 m.p.h and a maximum distance of 750 miles, you’ll be snorting coke off of hookers’ asses in Vegas in no time.

Moller is currently working with the FAA to get the M400 certified, and until that time, the M400 is only allowed to fly in certain areas. The company has not yet released a date as to when the public could purchase this piece of awesomeness, but they are certain that in the near future every man woman and child will be flying around in a Skycar.

Now that I got that out of the way, let me unleash some of my concerns with this. I think that having a flying car is so fantastic that it makes me want to soar up into the air and explode into a giant ball of fireworks and glitter. But then I pause for a second and realize that not all of the people out there are great drivers ( my dad). Then I start thinking about all of the other people out there that suck at driving ( my uncle), and I start thinking that this whole flying car thing may not be such a good idea. Can you imagine how many car accidents we’d have, cars would just be falling out of the sky. Millions of people would die and your insurance would cost $50 million a month. People would be running through the streets screaming and giant aliens would destroy our cities….Ok that last part may not happen but people would run through the streets as giant flying cars crash into houses and buildings.

Even though my childhood dream was to own a flying car…I think it’s better left to Marty McFly and The Doc.

Isn’t that dangerous?
