these guys have been going for a while so hopefully most of you have seen
all this before.
but if you havn't, this car takes off vertically (VTOL), travels at 350mph
or so, and gets 28miles per gallon.

pretty sweet huh :)
of particular interest is the videos section and all the links showing the
previous models XM-2, M200X, M400 etc.
