back to the future thought we would have flying cars by 2015

We could actually make flying cars. It's just not sustainable.

What's missing is that garbage disposal food processor the Doc had for fuel conversion.

We already have flying cars. They are called helicopters.

We might soon have flying taxis. I am just not sure if I want us to have flying taxis.

and small planes. They aren't all that expensive actually. I could buy a good used plane for less than half of what I would spend on a fancy italian sportscar of that same model year.

Planes also are built to last, so you can keep it for decades without it showing much age.

Thank fuck. Those are a terrible idea in like every way.

Also, we used them a lot in the attempted colonization of Vietnam?
