The idea of a cheap family vehicle that uses powered flight instead of rolling along on the ground. Popularized by cartoons and science fiction, it was widely expected in the late 20th century to become a reality "real soon now."
In common usage, it represents a shattered hope for the future.
Carbon nanotubes? That's great, but where's my fucking flying car already?

The Alef Model A Flying car is a concept car made by Alef Aeronautics. In the air, the cabin is gimballed so the occupants stay upright, and the rest of the body rotates 90 degrees around it.
On the road, the Alef Model A has a top speed of 25 mph, though the top speed in the air has yet to be determined.
The company says that the Model A will have a price tag of around $300,000 and that more than 400 pre-orders for the two-passenger variant have already been placed.
If everything goes according to plan, Americans can start buying the first model year in 2025.
They will have the 2 passenger variant and 4 passenger variant.
There's also the Alef Model Z flying car.
*The year 2025

One of Phineas and Ferb's inventions. Legend has it that it's still pulling to the right to this very day.
Phineas: "The Flying Car of the Future, Today, is still pulling a bit to the right."

When you’re already having a bad day and then something else happens and it just tips you over the edge.
Origin: Like when you swerve off the road and your car is teetering on a cliff edge and your weight is just barely keeping it from falling off the mountain. But then a fly lands on the car and you plummet over the edge of the cliff.
*accidentally sharts on an already bad day* “ah man, well ain’t that just the fly on the car!”
