    Watching that Limp Bizcuit video got me thinking about this.

    I've been in tons of high end cars. The Bentley was easily the most overrated. Didn't drive it but it just seemed like any E-Class.

    Best Ride was in a buddy's Ruf Porsche in the early 90's. Guy hit over 100 on Memorial drive. Completely stupid, but still the most exhilariting ride I've ever had.

    I like the slingshot

    The worst ride is the ring of fire, only go on that if you feel like puking for the next hour

    Have you seen the Jetson One?



    $92k, but in full production and you don't need a pilots license.

    There's also a similar think called Blackfly, but I'm not sure they are actually in production yet.



    I think that Japanese thing is just a one of a kind pre-production model, and Google says you can "pre-order" one for whenever they go into production if you are willing to give them $680,000.

    Yeah I’ve seen the Jetson-1. Very cool.

    210lbs max pilot weight. I’m 220, have a six-pack at 210, so I need the ‘American’ version.

    Honestly, 20 minute flight time is sort of a deal breaker. I think an hour is probably the sweet spot when you start thinking in terms of straight lines and no traffic. You still want a round trip without charge.

    I like that it’s software limited to 62mph…meaning I can hack it.
