In these days of $4 gas and freezing corporate offices (why do they set the AC so low?), there has to be a lighter side to life. No, I'm not talking about philosophy, I'm talking about flying!

Yes, thats right! Flying. Anyway, haven't you ever felt like touching clouds with your hands? Haven't you wanted to throw water balloons from the sky at unsuspecting mailmen....or your friends? Haven't you wanted to wave to the passengers in those 747s in mid air?

What I'm trying to say is, there has to be a way to do it! So, for the past week, I've been searching for just that! Here's what I found:

1. If you have a couple $$$ lying around, say...oh I don't know $100,000; you can get yourself a brand spankin' new Jet Pack! No for real, you can actually buy a jet pack.



2. What if you just want to see the view from up there without showing everyone that you're scared of heights by throwing up in a brown paper bag?

Dish out $550 and you can have your very own wireless camera system that you can strap to anything, including a plane, a bike, a dog, or even a bird for that real "birds eye view!"

This baby lets you see what the birdies see and the picture quality is amazing for a wireless video system. To see more video and check out some great pics, visit their website here.

3. Okay so maybe you want something expensive! Something classy. Something you can jump around in at 25,000 feet. Something that will make your friends say, "DAMN, thats hot!"

I've got just what you're looking for. Introducing, the future of transport, straight from Britain, I'd like to introduce the AirCar. Although it isn't in production yet, the AirCar is the way to go if you would like to fly and drive but don't want two separate physical vehicles.

Made in Britain by Milner Motors, this car is literally, one of a kind. Its wings fold upwards into a big spoiler kinda shape when it is not in "flight" mode.

Now I'm not sure how parking will work for this bad boy, let alone miles per gallon, but whatever they are, this is definitely one sweet ride.

Besides, its a perfect chick magnet. A potential conversation starter: Person 1 says, "What can your car do?" Person 2 replies, "It can fly." Person 1 is left speechless and without a response. Person 2 can then proceed to chat up any ladies that were with Person 1 and are now inquisitively inquiring about Person 2's ride (er, AirCar that is).

The Bad Man Notice: I do not work for, nor am I affiliated in any way with any of the companies that might have been mentioned in the above post.
