I used to get teary-eyed at the end of Lassie. That sad music and then the paw would come up. So touching.

Despite initial enthusiasm, I don't recall any successful flying cars to date.
And even if a real practical flying car is eventually produced, the target market will probably remain very, very small. Most real pilots want real airplanes, not compromises.

The market for drone-like flying cars isn't pilots, but rather normal people with self-flying copters. Every time I see a new one announced, my first thought is that it is nothing more than an investor scam.....

This is a bit more practical...at least for young whipper-snappers, although the lean angle looks questionable in corners when using motorcycle mode.....

Yeah, every now and then I think about “cleaning” my pipe. I’m sure she has at least one built-in vacuum port

Time to break out some Jackson Browne.

Gort was the name of the robot, and Klaatu was the alien. The message "Klaatu barada nikto" was given by Klaatu to Helen, a human he had met prior to his being killed by the Army. She was to give it to Gort or it would have otherwise destroyed all humanity. It translates as "Gort.. Klaatu says don't kill them".
Happy ending and we are all still here. I saw it as a rerun in a movie theater a couple of years after it's initial release in 1951 and loved it. Gort.. Klaatu barada nikto was indelibly imprinted in my brain, and to this day I still drop it from time to time. Mostly I get that quizzical look reserved for the doddering old gentleman, but now and then someone will break out in a big smile and we will merrily stroll down memory lane together.

Like the movie, but I'm a bigger fan of the band Klaatu than the movie

Love the guy but Ash was always a bit of a bumbler.

I loved the "Ash vs. The Evil Dead" TV series of several years ago too. Sorry to see it end so soon.
