um, technically not the first one, i don't think

but if there is a future market for them, COOL! 

[Ephemerid]

Cue Vangelis soundtrack?

A. You can't say that they have created it when it is in fact only a simulation and no prototype has been buit yet.

B. They aren't the first. To my knowledge, this was the first, nearly sixty years ago:

C. There is no way this thing will take off (rim shot) financially in a post-9/11 world. Little cars flying around skyscrapers where no concrete barriers can block them? Not happening.

Great, now I have to worry about all the idiots out there on the road flying around above me???

Why did I think 'Saul' when I saw the thread title? Still, I wasn't wrong.....

You won't need that flying car once I get my teleport-booth working.

This is a followup to the famous Israeli sports car  - the one that could stop on a nickel

(OK bad un-PC joke)

The point of the thread isn't so much that a "flying car" was created, but that Israel created it.

Yes we must mention Israel because everyone knows no Jews outside of Israel ever invented anything or contributed to society  <end sarcasm>

[MN Dave]

There are Jews in Israel?!

[bwv 1080]

No those are just decoys.  The real Jews are too crafty and devious to make themselves such a target, and it is too difficult to control the media and banking system from Tel Aviv.

Since when do Saul's threads have a point?

Spoken like true children.

Both Andre Delambre and Seth Brundle would much rather you go for the car.
