"It's the flying car of the future! Today!"
— Phineas and Ferb - From the titular characters.
"It is the year 2000, but where are the flying cars? I was promised flying cars! I don't see any flying cars—Why?—Why?—Why?"
Through the skyways above flew autogyros, aerowings, airphibions, rotovions, rotodynes, gyropteres, aeroscrafts, aerotifers, aerophers, ornithopters, discopters, cleopters, vertifans, volantors, VTOL's, STOL's, microlights, backpack helicopters, flying platforms, lifting bodies, aerial busses, inflataplanes, sky-scoots, spinners, helistats, helipods, helicogyres, helioplanes, anti-graviton spheres, tailsitters, tiltwings, fanwings, flyders, flettners, floaters, flycles, paraplanes, pedal-props and jet-propelled pogo-sticks.
"You know what's so disappointing about the future?" growled the torrid half-Klingon. "NO FLYING CARS!" She swung back her arm and hurled the speedster as hard and far as she could.

"There's a reason we don't have flying cars. And no, it's not because we can't make them — the technology has existed since the Fifties — but if you've seen New Yorkers drive you'll quickly understand that every Friday night would be 9/11 times a hundred."
