    Vail's flying motorcycle

    For you rich people who have $60k lying around (full article HERE).

    My $0.02: They should call the Switchblade a "flying trike" since it's a 3-wheeler...

    Excerpt:
    “This is an evolutionary step in transportation. It's not just a flying car. This is a getaway car,” said Bousfield, chief executive officer of Samson Motorworks.

    It's a three-wheeled motorcycle that will give speed limits a beating while it's on the ground. It converts to a small airplane that can hold two people and some of their stuff — or will someday. The Snowbird model will handle a couple of pairs of skis, Bousfield said.

    I like mountains because they make me feel small.

    Given how shitty people are at staying on the road while texting, eating and masturbating to the porn on their portable BluRay player, I'm not sure we need them attempting to fly while doing the same...thankfully, none of these will ever come to production anyway...
