Ok. This isn't a Polaris thing, but....
During the pre-race for daytona, they were singing God Bless America, did everyone see the guy land with the jetpack!? Well, he came down and then hovered. That is tight. Didnt know we really had such a thing.

anyway...

just thought i would mention that, i thought it was pretty sweet.

Yep, they've been around for a long time. I remember the opening ceremony of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Some guy flew right into the stadium and landed. Looked right out of the Jetsons.

You know, there's a popular story out of Arizona or New Mexico. Seems that a few years ago, some guy strapped a JATO rocket to his Chevy Malibu, and rocketed himself down the road. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop, and after melting his tires and brakes, the vehicle went airborne and flew straight into a nearby mountainside. Now I would have paid to see that one.
