  11. Re:Very Cool on A Production-Ready Flying Car Is Coming This Month · · Score: 1

    So it's a plane that looks like a car. Some kids take the chassis of a radio-controlled car an build a humaniform body for it, and then everyone goes, ooh, ahh, a robot! No, it's not a robot, it's a radio-controlled car that looks like a robot.
