"The TransDrive system is a pre-computer automated highway. Prior to using the system, privately owned vehicles would have to be custom outfitted with a large loop on the roof along with a hole in the roof into which the control console would pop down. Users of the system would drive through a check-in station and continue at highway speeds while a hook on an overhead rail would come up from behind, insert itself into the vehicle's loop and lift it off the roadway. The driver could then release the controls and punch in a destination.

That is so gay.

I like all the visions of the future where there are blimps parked at the top of skyscrapers.

my friend had one, and around '96 we'd take the orange pacer out to the '80's disco night and pull up like what.

And if the roof of my car rips off?
I would love to travel back in time to laugh at some of the people when they tell me that in the year 2000 everyone is gonna have a flying car and eat dinner in pill form.
