And where is my freakin' speeder bike? I *need* one...

A flying car wouldn't hurt either.

If you have a few hundred million lying around, you can get a flying car. After that, all you need is a plots license.

If just one or the other, I'd kinda prefer the speeder bike right now... They're cheaper, get better gas mileage, (probably) don't require a pilot's license, and yet they still give you that smooth, air-cushiony ride. As long as you don't hit a tree.

I mean they'd suck in bad weather, but really, who expects to travel quickly in that?

No time to worry about speeder bikes. Ebola is on the loose and thousands of people are being converted to worship "Saint Death" in Mexico and border states. Meantime the entire Middle East and soon eastern Europe is turning into a war zone. End Times, bro!

Get your beer carts and bbqs ready. I'm not going to be one of these a-holes hiding away in the swamps or caves eating bugs to survive. I'm just going to stock up, wait for the mayhem to arrive and shoot anyone trying to crash my end-times party. I figure I'll get a few good meals in and take a few thugs out before I take the dirt nap.

(Or put another way -- I'd rather have a fully fueled and built light speed solar sail ship ready to depart for a 20 year journey around the solar system, returning here only when most of the human race is dead. Speeder bikes are for sissies. )

There's a Kickstarter Hover bike on the go... already overfunded with 28 days still to go.

Ooooooo, decapitations in the mall parking lot. That should be fun!
