    And so far the flying cars that exist are about 10 times as expensive as normal cars. One of those things you buy if you already got the Lamborghini and have still an empty spot in the garage.

      Aye, it’s cheaper to keep’yer little peeper cub in its plane sleeper, and just have two cars for either end. Tiny planes are relatively cheap and could be afforded on an upper middle class salary like an engineer, mid-tier lawyer, or software coder, much the same way as a second car.

      I mean, maybe that’s not true anymore with how wages have been suppressed while costs have risen, but it was the last time I saw flying cars being seriously discussed.
