    Major Sucker Retail Price. Sorry for the shameless plug, but I found the tips at carbuyingtips.com helpful.

    And I drove my Civic Hybrid from the dealer with the dealer getting a fair 5% profit.

    Most likely you'll need a license and insurance in order to operate these things. In fact, mandatory insurance makes even more sense for these things then it does for cars.

    But it still doesn't stop people from driving around unlicensed and uninsured now. If these are going to be privately owned and operated, perhaps even in someone's backyard, who's going to make sure the "pilot" has a license and insurance?

    I haven't read all responses, but you can bet that homeland security is going to have a cow over these. Granted, they have to worry about Cessna type aircraft now but potentially allowing "sky cars" in every driveway presents a whole new set of worries.

    It's pretty easy to keep a car on the road.

    one word: corvette.

    There doesn't seem to be any shortage of those on the roads, and this picture is an example of what happens when you bump into someone while driving your big fiberglass manhood-enhancer.
