Last Call- How's Your Commute? Edition
/
We’ve seen jet-powered cars, and rocket-powered jetpacks, however neither of those was very good at multi-tasking. But now, for only $86,000 and a permanent butt-pucker, you can sail over traffic jams in a V4 piston-powered turbofan jetpack.

First appearing on the motive scene in 1955, the Goddess with it’s inboard-hydraulic brakes, oleopneumatic suspension set up and bolt-on body panels attached to a unibody frame, is still ahead of its time.
