    I'm down with the F-Zero hovercars as long as they put in the jump pads here and there and I get a turbo boost for the next day's commute when I complete my lap from home > work > home. But I swear, if I use the jump pad to make a shortcut because of traffic, they better not drag me off the track with their car catching super junkyard magnet and negate my shortcut!

    Pfft teleporting is the real future. Why bother with all the flying car shit when you can just beam things places.

    For once I agree with you, but according to Watchmen, teleporting can cause vomiting, and I hate that so yeah...Or maybe that's only when Dr. Manhattan does it...Maybe it's cause Dr. Manhattan never take showers or something and that's why Silk Spectre kept throwing up.

    Screw flying cars, we already have enough bad drivers as it is, what makes you think everyone will be able to handle driving in the air. And if you get into an accident you aren't going to be able to walk away from it.

    For instance...
