Default Flying Cars Reportedly Still Decades Away

I went to the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle, and according to Future World, I should have a flying car by now. In fact I should have already traded in my first one and have a second one.

What about my robot to clean my house? I think that was part of the deal.

I have a bet with a guy at work that when we are 50 years old, police forces will be using flying cars (non rotorcraft). He's only got 29 years to work with. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I really dont think they would even be in common use in the future because of gas prices, and maybe even the possibility of depleation. These "flying cars" are gas guzzlers arent they? But I do believe a few wealthy people would probably buy some of these just like those 2 wheeled sccoter like devices that lazy people use to walk.
