Description
The only thing more astounding than the discovery of the miracle fossil fuel, BOA®1 beneath the surface of Mars2 was the subsequent discovery that polymers made from it, repelled gravity when exposed to electrical current.

Though practical antigravity, or Antiweight® will have been in use for three decades by the time of America Jones' "NTDDCF" 3, it is only now ever so slowly making its way into the hands of an awaiting public.

To date, FT's, or Floating Transports have only been used by heavily trained and licensed services. Such as Heavy FT's, or "HeFT's" for construction and freight hauling; and Light FT's or the "LiFT's" that have become infamous through their use by the DMV.

The Medium FT's, or "MeFT's" are potentially the most diverse breed of these vehicles, as they could represent the realizations of science fiction's long welshed-upon promise of "flying automobiles", but they are the last to be fully developed due to the vast multitude of safety concerns they raise.

Even so, for years automotive manufacturers have fought legal battles to enable them to build more than the occasional tow truck , or playthings for the astoundingly wealthy.

After decades of war with various levels of legislature, as well as the insurance industry, it looks like the first practical, affordable MeFT will finally find its way into the open arms of the common driver.

That vehicle is the Pegasus 4.

One more headache for the Meter Maids.

1.) Blood Of Ares. Legal wranglings with the Wells estate, prevented the use of the name "Cavarite".

2.) As every schoolchild knows today, the discovery of BOA® was made in 1976 by the Viking lander, and withheld from public knowledge, until regular travel was established in 2045

3.) "Not-to-Distant-Dystopian-Cyberpunk-Future." Gotta come up with a more convenient anagram of acronym for that.

4.) Yes, it's painfully obvious homage to the Mustang the first high-performance sports car, truly affordable to the common driver--or "Pony car" as it were.
