I just might buy! ~~~~~ Air Cars: A New Wind for America's Roads? by Jim Ostroff Thursday, October 30, 2008 A new carmaker has a plan for cheap, environmentally friendly cars to be built all over the country An air-powered car? It may be available sooner than you think at a price tag that will hardly be a budget buster. The vehicle may not run like a speed racer on back road highways, but developer Zero Pollution Motors is betting consumers will be willing to fork over $20,000 for a vehicle that can motor around all day on nothing but air and a splash of salad oil, alcohol or possibly a pint of gasoline.

Guest Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It looks like one person would barely fit in it. And they want $20,000 for it????????? My guess is it would be a small person too. Looks like something a Hobbit would drive! Sounds good, but how long would it fly before they figured out a way to rob us blind with that, too? You bet they'll find some way to rip us off. Tires, taxes, fees, all kinds of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea though, if it were a bit bigger. It would also be dangerous around Big Foot ... squish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to be in it in a crash. Of course, I'd hate to be in anything. Maybe I'll just skip the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even want to think about what happens if you hit a deer, elk, or worse: a moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
