Tired of driving your Ferrari? Check this out!

Man this looks fun! Would you try it? http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/04/29/spark.parajet/index.html

 

That's really cool and I would love to try it... But, I told my wife that if got a Ferrari, there would be no more plans regarding small airplanes, etc. I guess I have to keep my word.

 

Imagine running down a busy street in Manhattan, past a bunch of yellow cabs and other disgruntled city-goers sitting in traffic... They're all staring at you and this buzzing fan on your back and think you're weird - like half of the city... Until you get enough wind under you that you suddenly lift off from the ground and begin flying... Your feet aren't moving, but you are, through the air, higher and higher... You take off way above traffic and coast through the tall sky crapers like Spiderman... That's awesome.

 

You are off the hook because it's a parachute and not an airplane!

 

that would be a blast, I would do it in a second.

 

Until you snag a power line, short circuit a pole transformer in a blinding flash (like I saw a squirrel do one time) and plunge half of New York into a black out. And just at the moment this happens, JG is driving his new 0854 Ferrari through an intersection that loses it's traffic light because of the power outage.

See there Carb, you just destroyed a rare Ferrari because you want to fly around Manhattan like a buzzard!

 

Cool

 

Try telling her that.
