  We also have blimps which are kind of just flying rocket cars.

  I grew up in Cleveland and saw these around occasionally...never knew anything about the backstory though...pretty interesting! I had heard stories about Euclid Beach Park sort of like one hears stories of Coney Island. Never really understood why these parks disappeared.

    We used to ride on them every 4th of July. “Ron Heitman’s mind was amazing. He could make a car out of anything. I have a car he built out of a bathtub. He decided to build the Rocket Car, a street-legal vehicle he could use to drive his family around.” Personally, I love the attitude of a person with the know how (and confidence) that they can make a rocketcar street legal. Are Burning Man art cars street legal?

      Street-legal cars are generally not Burning Man-legal.
