...generally happens when you're driving something a lot more expensive. You'd expect the killer design of the Audi R-8, for instance, to elicit some oohs and aahs, and it doesn't disappoint; it's a dazzler. The Bentley Continental Supersports is another jaw dropper that can motor along at 200 m.p.h., if you call that motoring. But the Audi goes for $113,000; the Bentley costs $100,000 more.

...Faithful. The Obamas had lunch and views of the famous geyser, most likely oblivious to the ripple effect caused by extensive security measures for their visit on the Park's busy, fee-free weekend. On the narrow two-lane highway between Old Faithful and Midway Geyser Basin, however, motor traffic came to a standstill, eventually backing up vehicles for nearly two miles...

Like all other Trikkes, it lets you generate momentum by simply shifting your weight on the thing's wishbone platform. The side-to-side motion, which feels similar to carving your way down a ski slope, is what propels...
...Toronto investment firm Gluskin Sheff worries that today's sales boost could lead to tomorrow's sales slump. He likens the current cash-for-clunker boost to the 0% financing that automakers introduced in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in 2001. As a result of those incentives, motor-vehicle sales perked up and the economy got a nice boost.
