my whip is fly

terrafugia, a boston-based company is beginning to test flights on their new concept flying car. what? this car/plane is called the transition, branding it as a roadable aircraft. again...what?

excerpt from the discovery channel:

"Either way, it boils down to this: You sit down behind the steering wheel, drive to the runway, unfold two wings and take off. You can fly 500 miles on a tank of gas -- regular unleaded -- and when you land, you simply fold up the wings and drive where you want to go. At the end of the day, you fly back, drive home and park inside your garage."

price tag is $194k
