My Next Car Will Be An Airplane
January 22nd, 2009 Posted in Raves
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!!!
With a 20 gallon tank, you can go close to 500 miles, then land at a gas station and fill up with regular unleaded. Are you kidding me??????
Ok, this thing is officially at the top of my wishlist for Xmas ‘09. Sorry Nissan Z, you got bumped to #2.

Are you kidding me? Dude, Julie and I want a 350Z BAD. Been window shopping for five year old’s with 60K miles. We dream of getting a sitter and Friday nights ripping up the road over Logan Canyon to hang out with you and Camille. 18 months to go.

I think VW buses can do the same thing, right? There’s some little button or switch somewhere that’ll kick out the wings in an emergency. Good for bridge collapses and such.
