By 2017 you may be able to purchase one, if you have a spare several hundred thousand that is AeroMobil: Flying car

[cruiserfied]

Very interesting. Would be a bitch to park lol.

[The Gonz]

You'd need a longer-than-average driveway, no doubt.

[CraigB]

Yeah! it still needs a runway for takeoff and landing, there's a good video in the link

Or here

[CraigB]

What, no parking sensors !!!!! 

They're optional extras

One good thing is you dont need to buy a big brick

Does it matter if you bend the airscrew on a steep driveway.

Can see that happening and someone not knowing/caring and it destroy itself next flight.

[Johnno]

The front end looks to low, the front wheel arch at the front of it is almost down to the ground, I know you have to look are aerodynamics but that will be knocked from ear hole to ass hole, especially in the states the camber of the roads are severe at intersections for the water gully

There is already a personal aircraft that you can park in your garage, and they don't require a runway.  It is an amazing invention, called the "helicopter".  Much less space is needed to store one, or even get one airborne.

A helicopter would require a lot more hours for a license I think do the rotors fold away so can be parked in a narrow driveway?

Same hour requirement as seized wing. No runway required and blades can be positioned fore and aft.

[CraigB]

Can you drive it ( Helicoper ) on the road

[Wingerdave]

Yes.

.... (but not advisable) 

[CraigB]

Yes.

.... (but not advisable) 

How would you drive a Robinson R44 helicopter on the road?

Another point is you can also drive the AeroMobile to your house ( once it's legalised of course and if it ever happens ), you cant land helicopters at your house unless you have an available space of land with zoning approval so you'd still have to land at a airfield then drive another vehicle home anyway.

Aside from all this the AeroMobile is still a bloody huge thing which requires more storage area than most of us have plus it wouldn't at this stage be very roadworthy I don't think with lacking ground clearance but it's an interesting invention none the less

[Wingerdave]

Yes.

.... (but not advisable) 

How would you drive a Robinson R44 helicopter on the road?

Mount wheels on the skids..... and indicators, and brakes, and brake lights......... all very do-able, but only if you have more cash than sense........ evenso, feasable.

The only requirement for landing a helicopter on private property is that you have the land owner's approval.

Dazz, I could land my helicopter at your house. When do you want me to bring it around?

Personally I would rather buy a used JetRanger than a Robinson death machine. You are only looking at around $500,000 for one in good condition. Dazz could buy one for himself, Trish, Mathew (so he could visit) and Dee (don't want her to miss out).

[AlanHo]

A Robinson R44, complete with the free funeral plan included in the price, would make an ideal gift for certain persons. Some Bankers, Lawyers and politicians for example

Only ever been up in a copter once, ecostar ec130 doing the grand canyon tour, Would like to have lessons but its bloody dear to keep it going

One would be plenty (I could afford one) Trish would probably say it hasn't got as much go as the CW
