2. Half asleep i first thought that said “Hitler’s Ariel Sedan”

3. my first thought on flying cars was, oh bliss, drunk driving in 3 D

   1. It’s a double high. Ohhhhhhhh mommaaaaa I can hardly wait.

4. Carnage in the skies with fraudulently licensed Sikhs!

5. What do I find amusing about this illustration other than the depiction of an obviously cisgendered biological bonding pair riding in their aero-car? I like how the daddy-driver is craning his neck in an attempt to see where he’s landing. Hahahahaha ha ha … yeah, don’t land on the kids, because you can’t see downward … can’t see your landing pad.

   Dear Popular Mechanics illustrators … please note how helicopter glass is designed. You might get some practical clues. Perhaps THAT’S why we can’t have nice things like flying cars.

   1. Gee Kenji, how would you have drawn a flying car 58 years ago? Ohhhhhhhhh mommaaaaaa, I look forward to your reply.

      1. … please note how helicopter glass is designed.

         Reading comprehension doesn’t appear to be your strong suit.

         1. And please note, it’s a flying car drawing from 58 years ago, not a modern helicopter design.

            And not all helicopters have see-through bottom glass.

            1. Not all helicopters are designed to land in tight spaces such as a homeowners helicar

               1957 Bell helicopter …

               Why do you insist in arguing a losing point? Just take your loss and walk away.

            2. Kenji, you really are a Class A moron. You link to a photo of one helicopter design and that’s supposed to apply by default to some illustrator’s imagined flying car, on a magazine cover for god’s sake.

               If you weren’t so stupid and/or lazy you could do an internet search of “helicopter photos”. They come in all shapes and sizes.

               But I bet the concept of “all shapes and sizes” confuses your tiny tranny-obsessed brain.

               And, yes, I was well aware of the Bell helicopter. It was widely used during the Vietnam War as a spotting hecopter before the attack helicopters and medivac helicopters moved in.

            3. Not all helicopters are designed to land in tight spaces such as a homeowners helicar

               Once again your reading comprehension is for shit. I already acknowledged that not all helicopters are designed alike as they don’t all have the same tasks. However … a helicar used by homeowners to land in crowded subdivisions need VISIBILITY designed into their use.

               What was illustrated was a 1964 Buick sedan with fans on all corners. Not very imaginative. Not practical in the least. Dumb. Even for 1957.
