Terrafugia Carplane


While we are on the theme of ridiculous/awesome forms of transportation, we present The Terrafugia Carplane.

We're just trying to picture a two car garage that featured a Terrafugia and a Tron Light Cycle. Ok, now THAT is upcycle.

So we're thinking our next move should be to call up Seth MacFarlane and get the Petercopter idea off the ground. Hopefully the real thing will fly better than the cartoon version.

Tesla Roadster 2.5

This electric car can go 245 miles without a recharge. Shocked yet? (I know, terrible pun)...
