If Only I Had A Pilots License I could Escape Pattaya's Traffic,

by buying one of theses!
it is a Terrafugia Transition and it can cruise at 115mph in the air before driving 'at highway speeds' on the roads - and it can be safely stored in the garage, Carl Dietrich, creator of the Terrafugia, said: 'This breakthrough changes the world of personal mobility - it’s what aviation enthusiasts have been striving for since 1918.' the company claims its flying vehicle can soar 400 miles through the air on a single tank of gas, weanwhile refueling involves no more than driving into the nearest forecourt and filling up with unleaded petrol,
other flying cars have been demonstrated before, but this is the first proven model with foldable wings which allows it to seamlessly transfer from air to road, however there's a few barriers to entry - the car/plane will cost about £139,000 at launch, although car enthusiasts may note this is no more than a top-end Bentley, drivers will also need to provide full driver's or pilot's license if they get pulled over mid-flight, so watch out for the flying police!
