Terrafugia Transition. More of a plane that can drive than a flying car, but it exists

The excitement of the new "Space Age" of the late 1950s and 1960s inspired a lot of imagery in automobile design of the time. Look at the side profile of a 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird and it's not too hard to see a "rocketship".

| Why hasn't a Reventon been posted? |
Ok, so I'm going to have to be really bluntly honest here....I don't see it. I understand that the front of the Reventon LOOKS like the air intakes on the F22...and sure, the car is sleek and whatnot....but does it really have that classic spacecraft/aircraicft look to it? I don't think it does.
When I created this thread, I was really more thinking along the lines of cars like what VWLarry mentioned. Maybe I'm just forever stuck in the past. Either way, a lot of the posts here have suprised me.
Anyways, no, I don't think the Reventon or the R8 qualify here.

Yo, FedEx should totally scrap their airplanes. Instead, they should attach little wings and jet engines to all their boxed packages and let them fly themselves around! Talk about cost savings!

LOL... thats a cab here in Ottawa. Only one in the city, been around since 03 or 04.
