I'll go against the grain and say that's cool as heck! Wikipedia says the designer (the guy flying/driving it, I think) has been working on it since the 80s. I like people passionate about their hobbies.
It's a cool concept and could be useful for amateur pilots. If you can just drive it home every time you get back, you will save on storage costs, I suppose.
But it's mainly a hobby project anyway, so why the hell not.
I was coming in ready with a snarky comment about helicopters but I was wrong, that was pretty cool.
Because it is a car-shaped airplane. It is a terrible airplane however, while also being a terrible car on top of that.
Aviation and its heavy pollution now carried over to cars and their heavy pollution. 😅
