That’s right, a plane. Granted it’s not a Gulfstream or a Lear but after looking at the specs, I’d probably rather have one of these than a Ferrari. Yeah, I said it.
The ICON A5 is probably one of the coolest designs of anything I’ve ever seen. The wing folding mechanism looks like genius. It’s a small plane with room for two and luggage and can take off and land on water or land. With only a 300 mile range, you’re not going to be making any trans-Atlantic flights and with a top speed of 120MPH, it isn’t even the fastest way to travel but hey, it looks like a hell of a lot of fun. You don’t necessarily need too much space to land. Heck, there’s even a safety feature that deploys a parachute in case the engine has a problem…I’m sure you could rig that for easy landings somehow. It even runs on regular fuel, has GPS and is small enough to tow with your car.
Of course, I would need to learn to fly but…how hard could it be?

That simply looks better than any car I would want. The only place is finding actual runways to land it on

p.s. Do you think it’s possible for you to change my link on your “top commentators” plugin? I don’t bloggin-ads anymore
I’d be glad to, Mike…if I had any idea how to do so.
“The ICON A5 is probably one of the coolest designs of anything I’ve ever seen.”, as soon as I had read that, I was like “oh yeah, sureeee”, but I actually surprised myself after watching those videos. That beautiful piece of kit is just love.
Btw, how did you come across this? john.
