   Oh, it's not just "things that fly" anymore.  Now it's 'affordable'.   
   My car has carbon fibre parts.  I thought it was pretty affordable.

   That would, according to the Chimp's prior statements, no doubt be the   
   flying cars, since flying vehicles are the only ones where weight   
   matters that much (according to him).
