>I've fantasized about inventing a car that you can fold up and put in your pocket when you're done using it. That it would still weigh a ton is only one of the problems with this fantasy.
And this explains why George Jetson's car is so attractive: folds up into a briefcase, which then weighs as much as a briefcase.
As a Chicagoan, I appreciate this on many levels. OTOH, Chicago's elevated trains run mostly 24/7 and take you directly to both airports, now. (ETA: Within the city only. Suburbanites use cars.)
In Madison, the city buses are pretty good, but they don't run to the airport between about 10:30 p.m. and 7 a.m.
