File this under: "For the Billionaire Who's Got it All." Well what he doesn't have, and what you can pick up for him
for a cool $3.5 mil, is the much-publicized Moller M400 Skycar prototype that we
spotted a while back at NextFest. In their annual catalog
for the super-rich, the Christmas Book, Neiman Marcus is offering this one-of-a-kind deathtrap flying "car" that
can hit a max speed of 350 MPH at a relatively efficient 21 MPG (no gas, alcohol only). Even though purchase requires
FAA approval, seeing how most people can barely operate their land cars, piloting this mean machine would seem to be a
disaster waiting to happen.
