Good grief. I had almost forgotten about that stuff. Time does fly.

Remember the old blow torch, used for soldering? Pump the canister, light, adjust the flame and off you go. Dad would not let me play with it, but I wanted to. Perhaps because I called it a flame thrower.

Jets in the rear allowed it to fly like a jet and retractable wings were incorporated in the back of car.

Retrorockets on the side of the car slowed the vehicle

An inside television monitor that allowed the occupant to see through fog and smoke.
