    Ben, Ben, Ben....the Jalopnik approved method of automotive flight isn't through ducted fans.


    Jalopnik approved automotive flight can only be obtained through HOONAGE!

    Please tell me that these will be transported to the action zone on the back of an Ekranoplan.


    But, 'fancraft'? Does this presume the formation of of a geeky fancraft fanclub, "World of Fancraft"?

    As much as I like the idea of walking out my door, hopping in my flying car and going to work all George Jetson-like, every day I drive I am reminded of why this is a bad, bad idea. People have a hard enough time in 2 dimensions, can you imagine the mayhem that would ensue if they were given a third?


    Think about it the next time the chick driving the Explorer next to you at 80 mph on the highway while talking on the phone and polishing her finger nails starts drifting into your lane.

    @AiDonWaiKit: Rent the movie "Nothing But Trouble" and you'll have a good idea as to what Jalopnik HQ looks like. The twins in the junkyard are Wes and Matt. Pete is the judge.
