Flying car company Terrafugia hasn't yet delivered a single example of its first effort, called the Transition, to customers. Of course, that hasn't stopped it from releasing a new animation of its next product, the TF-X. Please bear with us here. As always, the promises made in the promo are impressive.

But do we have any confidence we'll see it built? Absolutely not. While Terrafugia has made successful test...

When you're passionate about something in this life, it's best to go out and try your best to follow the notions and ideas that spring from that passion.
