I think high premiums is the least of the worries with many of these in the air.

Personally, we'd rather have a contraption like the one that pushes George Jetson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2h5mpmSoc4) out of bed and into the shower every morning, but flying cars are pretty cool, too. At least two manufacturers have announced that their auto-airplane amalgams have taken flight, if only in test runs. Terrafugia says (http://www.terrafugia.com/newsreleases.html#PPFlight1) its Transition Street-Legal Airplane prototype made its maiden flight on March 23, while PAL-V's Personal Air and Land Vehicle takes to the skies in the "crazily awesome" video shown here.
Commercial deliveries of these space-age vehicles are expected to commence within the next two years or so for those brave enough to turn freeways into runways. Can't wait to see those insurance premiums.

Can you imagine if the sky was full of cars being driven by the very same people who drive them on the roads? There's be blazing debris falling from the sky like confetti. (Really hard metal confetti.)

Remember... Don't drink and fly.

What about our feathered friends? I don't know. Just seems like alot of stuff in the air to me. And..........

"What goes up
Must come down
Spinning wheel
Got to go around
Talkin' 'bout your troubles
It's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin"

They would have to test for pilots licences, I hope. As for taking a pee, Poot I'd just use a piece of hose and stick it out the door. Lookout below!!!
