Among a few other nuances that don't matter, yes.

Yes. And I will also admit that it does seem quite obtuse but it's the reasoning for my argument that matters (see my closing).

Then it couldn't fly anymore. If you look closely, while the forward propulsion comes out of the back of the vehicle, it's ability to overcome gravity seems to be coming from the wheels (which is why they rotate downward; operating concept not unlike the AV-8B or V-22)

I get what you're saying, but not the best of examples. A wheel is still a wheel. It has the same function. It could be square for all I care. The rubber just made things more comfortable.

Now, the entire argument from the beginning is that I said flying cars are real (they exist). That's it. Period.
Everything after that is in response to the relatively few people here who emphatically say that isn't true. They say it's a "Roadable Aicraft". I say now "Whatever. It's still a flying car". I'm glad you brought up the wheel thing since the square wheel actually sets my view firmer in stone. What you said about it actually explains what those people are saying, not what I've been saying. I really don't care if you classify the Jetson's thing as a flying car or not. Just concede that factual products that actually exist today, are as well, whether they meet your expectations and dreams or not.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
