    just because it flies dosnt mean that the wheels are gone...it is still a car, and anyone that can get a driving licence can ummmm, at least has parallel parked.

    however i think there is a reason there are no flying cars, its bad enough drunk drivers can hit my fence, i sure as hell dont want them hitting my roof.

    People can't even drive on the roads without major accidents. Can you really imagine every idiot and his brother flying a car and crashing and falling out of the sky onto houses and people? running out of gas? ignoring dangerous weather conditions? Seriously?

    It is bad enough having pilots of planes up there who are inexperienced, including some airline pilots flying commuter runs. No thanks.

    not necessarily. parallel parking was no longer included in driver's training or the driving test by the time i got my license 13 years ago.

    i don't think i ever parallel parked until college.

    We need the flying cars to get to the "Cloud Nine" cities that Bucky Fuller designed.
