I hope to be dead long before flying cars become a reality.

I hope not, Jim. Don't forget the Taylor Aero Car
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfONF6YIpvs
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfONF6YIpvs) was certificated in 1956!
I saw one in Colorado back in the 90s.

But for those who think this is a great idea, consider this: In order
to fly with any performance at all, it must be built very lightly. Now
consider what happens in a parking lot collision! Who's going to repair
a dent in the fender? I certificated mechanic? And all this for only
half a million dollars...

Thanks, but I'll keep my Stemme and rent a car at destination...
