Okay, Maybe the Future IS Here

You know, we hate to admit that we were wrong. But apparently, a mere decade after the start of the new century, the mass-production flying car is a reality.

Terrafugia makes one. Costs under $200,000, which is lotsa dough, but less than a Maybach or a Maserati. A reviewer (click up top) says that the production model will be "less dorky" than the proof-of-concept vehicle posted here.

All righty, then. We assume that silver jumpsuits, Soylent Green, and weekends relaxing by the Sea of Serenity are all just around the corner.

We still think a neo-twelfth-century future would have been cooler, but we'll take what we can get.
