My Next Car Will Be An Airplane

I’ve been commuting to Salt Lake City. After two years, I can now say that I’m “used” to it. That being said, I hate thinking about the loss of personal time given up while being confined for three hours a day. Worse, the thought that I’ve virtually circled the earth three times in the last two years (75,000 miles on my Honda Element) and yet I haven’t seen anything but the same stretch of road day in and day out (although Sardine Canyon is quite scenic and makes the drive bearable).
Today, my boss sends me my traffic solution:
Transition Car/Plane – This thing is a car with fold out wings.
As a car:
- 65 MPH
- 30 MPG
As a plane:
- 115 MPH!!!!
- 23 MPG!!!
