‘Oh, we just love the Aston Martin.’ There is absolutely no doubt about it because no luxury car speeds as well as this one. But all that said, we are always having a billion second thought before talking this beauty out on the streets of crowded cities like Manhattan, London or even Tokyo. Well, none of us would like to risk getting this exotic beauty from entangling with a bus or delivery truck.
But fret no more. The smart fellas at brand Aston Martin have worked up a cool solution. The name’s Cygnet and the car is as practical an alternative to the bigger version of the Aston Martin that we all have loved so much and stil do. This new urban car concept is just the choice when you want to speed up to the city center while enjoying all the comforts of an Aston Martin.

There is a reason why Formula One is touted as perhaps one of the most expensive sports. Well as an expected consequence, the sport also ends up selling some real expensive merchandise unlike its peers in the field. And if you are an F1 fan, we are quite sure that you’d already be owning one of those amazing F1 Racing books. But there is one more that you can add to your collectibles.
This one is called the Formula One Champions Opus book and is as big as the sport can get, literally. Yes, the book’s surprisingly over-sized as it contains a whole range of photos and articles on F1 racing, thereby making it a must-have for all die-hards of the sport.

If you haven’t heard of the special event called Woodies On the Wharf, then you must get in touc with folks from Santa Cruz and they shall tell you what a big thing it is in their town and with vintage car lovers all over the world.

And we must mention that each and every Woddy car is true blue collectible item. The beauty is classic and the engines are original, so you can put your best bet on these dream machines. By the way, if you did not know the name Woody comes from the partial wooden body of the car. This wood is covered in a clear varnish to make it blend with the rest of the car paint.

If you are kind of guy who would die for convertibles, Lexus is not the company you would look for, ever. However, Lexus has finally decided to pull it off and get a convertible rolling. The model has been rightly christened as IS and Lexus IS Convertible. The car comes at a price of $38,500 and is powered by a 3.5 or 2.5 litre V6.
Of course you would get a number of features like iPod connectivity, an eight-speaker sound system, Bi-Xenon headlamps, LED taillights, and dual-zone climate control. The car looks superiorly stylish and one could go to lengths try8ing to describe it. All it would have needed was a better engine, and V8 would have been the best choice.

Moulton B. Taylor in 1949 created the world’s first Aerocar and after that some were created in 1956. It is a transformer and can be used as both a plane and a car. Only five of these are still existing and is now owned by a Coloradian named Ed Sweeny. He had paid $150,000 21 years ago and now can fetch up to $1 million if he decides to sell it.
However, the guy plans to keep it as a family treasure and would not sell it for anything. It can reach speeds of 60 mph and when it is flying it can reach speeds of 150 mph. You would never be able to buy this awesome flying car and thus proves the theory that money cannot buy everything in life.

Sometimes it gets too annoying to ferry all your drunk friends in a car and having to smell their puke and booze smell. Moreover, they distract you while you are driving and can result in gruesome deaths. In order to avoid such unnecessary trouble, Francois Knorrec has designed the Snaefell.
Snaefell is a motorcycle that comes with a car attached. It took him 10 years to build it and he spent more than $20,000. The motorcycle is a Laverda and the car is made from different parts of different cars. It comes in a bright red colour and I must say it looks pretty cool.

The Extra-Terrestrial Vehicle is a futuristic car built by Mike Vetter and his company The Car Factory which has been based in Florida. He could have come up with more creative names for both his company and the car I should say.
The ETV car has a Chevrolet Aveo within it and it certainly looks quite futuristic. There is no information about the ETV except that it costs $86,000. Now that is a lot of money for a car that just looks cool. I don’t think even cool SUVs cost so much. If you are crazy enough for all things science fiction, perhaps you should go get this car for yourself.
