Terrafugia: A Surprising Metamorphosis Welcome to the 81st Metamorphosis Monday!

How do you like my new car? (wink, wink) Ok, I know it looks a little strange...but it's really fast and pretty fuel efficient.

It gets 35 miles to the gallon...and did I mention, it's FAST! I'm a girl who loves speed. Unfortunately, I have to be content living vicariously through Danika Patrick. :)

Yep, it looks a little different, but that's just the way it is with some of the "hybrids" these days.

What it lacks in looks, it totally makes up for in speed.

Yep, totally loving this "hybrid."

Hey, guys at Terrafugia...give me call.

I'll even finish up my hours and get my license.

Commuting to work would be a whole new experience. Forget "Park and Rides"...build runways!

This isn't just a dream...the Transition is available from Terrafugia and is being purchased by pilots today. There is currently a waiting list...with 80 on back order.

So, don't be surprised when you see your neighbor out washing his Transition in the driveway one day. Do you think the subdivisions of the future will have a runway in addition to tennis courts and swimming pools? :)

Of course, it would also transform ME into a nervous wreck since I my phobia of flying extends clear to any member of my family.

I'll stay on the ground, thank you. Yikes to flying!!
