To reward you for your valiant efforts in preventing the Smurf holocaust, Pallas Athena has directed Rhymer Enterprises to gift you with either a flying car or a flying horse.
The flying car is technological in nature. It will be custom-made for you so that it looks exactly like whatever model car you choose. Whesmf n roading it uses ordinary fuel you can buy at any gas station and will get comparable mileage to whatever vehicle you have chosen to have it emulate; its maintenance is also comparable… But nobody cares about that shit, you want to hear about the aerial part, I’m sure. The flying is accomplished via antigrav tech and allows your vehicle to fly as fast as a Huey helicopter, as we as to hover and fly backwards and suchlike. You get enough fuel to cover you for about 1 million miles, which, incidentally, is how long you have until the first maintenance check. You’re good till then unless you slam it into a mountain or something. In either mode there is an available autopilot sophisticated enough so you can slip in, say, “Take me to Vegas, Gay Deceiver!” and just pretend to be driving (or nap) till you arrive; theres also a tutorial program that’ll teach you how to fly the thing if you want. Just to be nice I’ve told the guys to mount a retractable phaser cannon on the roof.
The flying horse is, obviously, magical. It’s a great palomino stallion – well, gelding – with big-ass wings sprouting from each side when needed, but otherwise looks like a regular steed. It, or rather he, can fly as fast as a Huey and do all that helicopter shit; on the ground it can run about as fast and far as any car can drive. to do this it requires regular feedings of a certain magic beans, and RhE will supply you with ten years worth, at which point the horse will be ready to be [del]made into glue[/del] putout to pasture anyway. (The carrots are the only food he needs, and they will not enable anything else to take to the air.) While flying, the horse’s passenger (i.e., you) will be magically protected from low pressure, low temperature, and other assorted issues, though if somebody aims an RPG at you, you’d better dodge. The horse, incidentally, is much smarter than the average bear; it can understand and speak English. It will be conditioned to love you more than sugar cubes and will protect you from harm at the expense of its life if necessary.
Oh, and if you take the horse you get a working ight-sabre. No special reason, we just have some lying around gathering dust. Anyone, if you’re gonna be on a flying horse you need a spectacular weapon, don’tcha?
So which do you choose, and why?
