Hey Dane,

Congrats on your first flying cars post. I'm subscribing to your blog, and look forward to having you keep us posted on the latest in flying cars.

At Portension, we watch the skies for all sorts of futuristic stuff--some serious, some goofy. We often come across news relating to flying cars (which can often be both serious and goofy at the same time) and always do our best to post the news as soon as we can.

Hope we can be of service to each other. Check us out and subscribe if you can: www.portension.com

Cheers,
Jay Oatway, Blogger-in-Chief, Portension
