According to this article, the flying car is going to be a Boston-based invention. It would certainly be useful, hovering above snowbanks and zipping over school buses and double-parked delivery vans.
I think I would probably just work on my psychic skills until I could channel the spirit of Ernie Boch, Sr. I think just about everyone in Massachusetts is familiar with the Ernie Boch Empire, and if that old goon and his slightly lamer son were to attempt to sell this car to us, we'd "come on down." I would then smash windshields to represent the "smashing deals" a la Boch Senior, and then have Junior's rock band (Erinie and the Automatics) play the theme song from the Jetsons (apparently he went to Berklee, who knew?). New Englanders would eat that up, and if it didn't work, maybe we could get Mike Lowell up in there too, driving a "Red Sox Red" flying car.
I like the idea of a flying car, but can you imagine the issue that road rage would present? Or airborne accidents? Debris and body parts raining over the expressway? New Englanders are notorious for their white-knuckle driving, and as a pedestrian, I'm not sure I want death to come at me from street level OR from the sky...jaywalking is hazardous enough, and helmets mess up my hair.
