    I thought since we were comparing the 348 to everything else on the planet, why not something that flies above it?

    The 348 has the advantage of getting off the line quicker, but the Blimp has the advantage of getting overhead shots of every college football game in America, so take that however you wish, but you may get some good looks...:p

    The Goodyear Blimp has the advantage of having endless rubber for belt changes, so you might want to go that route for your first weekend toy.

    The 348 has the strakes, but the blimp has the timeless lines that only Pininfarina could come up with...

    Thoughts?

    I'll take the blimp during football season, then go back to the 348 :)

    How often does the helium in the blimp have to be changed?

    Every 3 or 5 years?

    It is a complete "Helium Out" Service when it does go in for a major?

    You could get free tires for the Bimp. Run flats even.
