I like cars. Always have, always will. Planes on the other hand, not really the same love affair there, but put a plane and a car combined, that actually performs both roles flawlessly, that’s a different story.

That’s why I am geeking out over the Terrafugia Transition. It is exactly that: a plane and a car all in one.

A plane that can fly 460 miles at 115mph?
A car that has foldable wings and still gets 30mpg?

Plane. Car. Whatever. It doesn’t matter because it rules and I want one.

The best part about it is that under ‘Safety Features’ it reads: “Drive in case of inclement weather.” Given the way some people drive on the road around Cincinnati in the rain, I’d actually consider going from plane to car less of a safety feature, but that’s just me.

I need to find $195,000 to get one of these, so feel free to email me if you have any ideas or want to do a time-share.

Why open a bag of cat food with your human hands when you can just have the internets do it for you? Read all about it here on Engadget, or just watch the movie:

Is this the future? One commenter provides a word of caution:
