Just for Fun

One thing you'll learn about blogs is that "posts", such as this, are listed in chronological order based on the date posted.  The latest post will be at the top.  So you'll notice this isn't the first post.  At this point . . . stop reading and go to the post below to read and respond.  Come back to this "post" when you're finished commenting on the first blog post below.

Do not click on the following link until you have finished the blog comment from the 1st blog post below. 

Now that you're back, click on the link to an amazing car that was at the 2010 Oshkosh Airshow in Wisconsin.  http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=635469588001 .  Do you think something like this would actually sell?  What are your thoughts?

  2. The car looks like it would be a lot of fun, but its ugly. I don't think a lot of people would buy it like that, plus it would probally be expensive.

  3. I think something like this could sell, but it doesn't look that safe to me. I would definately get it, but it would be scary to be flying it so high in the air and not having anyone with me. i would be afraid to like hit a tree or something like that, that could like pop it or create a hole. but thats just me.. (:

  4. I think it would sell really well, but I would not buy it. First it doesnt look safe and second it does not look like its worth it to me.Its a really good invention though.

  5. I think it is a good thing to have to fly out of traffic jams and whenever there is a need to fly, and also drive whenever you want to. The only bad part is it looks hard to land to me. Looks like its a good invention though.

  6. Hopefully they sell because this is a real step in the future. The car is cool looking fast car and it gets good gas mileage. The plan is awesome too. If this car does sell the government should make everyone take a driving test againg so the old people wouldnt be able to drive. Plus with these cars it should eliminate accidents because you can see everyone clearly.

  7. This car/plane could sell, and people, more than likely will buy it. It could potentially eliminate traffic jams. For the car's speed and fuel mileage, i think it will sell.

  8. I think that this flying car will sell but only if it is at the right price. This car would be great because you can take it off from any road of just an open field. This car, being light, has an amazingly fast acceleration going from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds T Reynolds

  9. It look a little unsafe, but overall, it's a pretty cool invention. This car is just a glimpse of our future.

  11. The car would be really fun to use as a toy car but it is not practice as a regular highway car

  12. I think that the car is very cool because you can drive in the car and fly in the car when ever you want to.

  13. I would deffinatly buy it. It doesn't look very safe but it would be worth the while not having to constantly wait in trafic.

  14. In my opinion something like this would have to take years before it could reach the market. Many people might think it would be fun to fly, but in all reality it could be very dangerous. If some people have trouble driving on the ground just think what could happen 100 feet in the air. It is a very good idea, but I think it will be awhile until they can start to sell, and even then they might have trouble selling because the of the price.

  15. I think a flying car could sell but I also think people would be scared to drive it because I know I would. But it does seem like a fun invention and will save you from waiting in traffic.
    KHolt.

  16. I would've never imagined the flying car design tio be that simple! I'd love to own this; it sounds well worth it. I wonder, however, what the price is? Although I doubt this design will do anything for trafic jams... in the highways current state. If we were to build side road runaways, so that one could exit the highway and take off from the runaway, then it would work efficiently. But for now however, this could be used for militatry purposes, recreational use, and border patroling. Unfortunatly, it will probably eventually be used for human trafficking and drug smuggling.

  17. I think it would sell but not be a big hit for awhile. I wouldn't be one of those people who would be buying it. It just doesnt seem safe to me.

  18. I too thought this looked like a neat idea. He mentioned in the video his design was to be used in Brazil's Amazon region in order to fly people out in case of an emergency. It will be fun to see if this project takes off in the US.

    When you post . . . sign first name and last initial so I know who to give the credit to. Also posts must be in by Friday to get the credit unless otherwise noted. Enjoy your weekend.

  19. i think it could sell very well I mean there are a lot of people who have trust issues or dont like flying in areas filled with people like in planes this would really help. I would love to fly it but i would only do it if someone was with me.

  22. I think the car would be sold for 35,000 to 40,000. The Car would be alot of fun to me.
