Maglev has also been suggested but that would be rather costly as I'd have to arrange for some magnetic rails to drive on - and I want to go everywhere in my car - who wouldn't?

So I was thinking about other forces that could lift my car.

I've come up with:-

1) Van der Waal's forces
2) Capillary force
3) The police force
4) A force to be reckoned with
5) The Force featuring Q'n'C

Have I missed any?

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!!!
