As I sit here, I wonder, where the heck are the hover cars?

I ask this, because as I sat at home watching the news, a story was brough up saying how gyrocopters could become more popular with the fuel crunch. This reminded me of an article I read in the fourth or fifth grade. It was a small magazine for kids, which we were supposed to read and discuss. An article I read said that a new technology would allow for the mass production of a sort of “hover car.” The article said that these cars were more like hover helicopters, not ment for inner-city transportation, but inter-city transportation (I feel clever for writing that). It also said there would be “ports” in every town and city for these to land at, which would be better because these ports would be smaller than airports.

Now I’m asking, “Where are they?” I want one, and I don’t care about noise pollution! I want to go to Bellingham without ahving to take a detour around the North Cascades Pass, which they’ve conveniantly closed when I need to go to Bellingham for college introduction! I wish I could find that article to give you better information, but it’s been so long I forgot the name. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, awesome.
