The only thing better than a flying car is a flying car driven by a cat smoking a pipe.  

This is a concept for a contest on dA.  It's supposed to be for a t-shirt design so no real background.  I wanted to make the car look futuristic and a bit demented looking.  I think I got that.  I'm not so sure about the foreshortening on the side of the car.  Need to slip in some lines so it looks like there's a separate hood and add a hood ornament too.  I may ditch the text and put in motion lines or a contrail.

Vaguely reminds me of Speed Buggy, which woulda make it demented looking itself ;)

Nah, nothing better than smoking a pipe, and the passenger smoking you.

Your statement is incorrect.
Counterexample: a shapeshifting machine able to assume a nigh-unlited amount of different, useful forms, including a flying car that is capable of FTL space travel and transuniversal travel.

Note: Such a machine is available from Fernal Divine Manufacturing (TM) under the name of Omnipurpose Transshape Engine.

That sounds like a TARDIS.

I know Doctor Who fans will probably lynch me for this, but I don't actually know what a TARDIS does/is. I only know that it looks like a phone booth and is the Doctor's means of transportation.

It's somewhat what you described.  It's supposed to change shape, though the Doctor's TARDIS is kind of broken so it's stuck as a police box.  In other words the box has become its iconic external appearance so they've kept it in the series for ages.  Inside it's a complicated semi-living thing with a time vortex in the middle.  It's really a character in the series, not just a vehicle.

Well, the Omnipurpose Transshape Engine has no time vortex, or time anything, since time travel is completely impossible within its reality. Time manipulation is limited to slowing down or speeding up the flow of time, never able to provide any way into the past.

It is, instead, powered by the divine magic of the factory god Fernal, God of the Forge, who produces these machines in his universe-body.

Reminds me of the IBM commercials..."They promised us flying cars.  I want my flying car!" ;-)

Moller has been promising flying cars for decades too.  I still don't see them in the sky.
