What the fuck?! What are the rules on owning one of those badboys? I can't imagine you'd be allowed to just take off at the lights and fuck off into the sky

Had to laugh at the comments, especially this one.
Just took delivery of my new baby, and must confess, am revelling in the freedom from those noxious slabs of pork with the speed cameras, radar, and fascist mind-control. The Skycar's a release, and freely available to anyone with a bit a spare change. Why, just a few minutes ago, was sorta hovering nonchalantly in Westminster, when a little old lady inched up next to me in HER new Mollar SuperSkyCar, hunched over the controls, sweat beading from every pore, as she contemplated studiously avoiding parking on my wingtip. However fate is inexorable, and she did. Then she carefully reversed into Big Ben, made a beautifully executed 27-point turn, and headed off toward the palace, gently ricocheting off buildings on her way up, her little "L" plate flapping gracefully with her swerves. Say, do these come with guns and missile options?

of coarse, getting back in it is a bit of a problem, have to parachute out a plane and hope you land in the thing

For that much cash you could buy a decent plane, a licence and a fold up bike...

Paul_J concluded that these can't possibly work from one grainy video on youtube so it can't fly.

Do they still use the wankels to power electric motors.
