Volkswagen is set to release this single seater diesel concept car onto the market in 2010. One of the many kickers, is that it will reportedly only be released in Shanghai. Although, for the RMB 4000 (US$600) price tag, you could easily fly over there, buy one, ship it and yourself back and still have it cost way less than a car bought in the US. Also interesting to note are the stats: 0.99 litre/100km or 258 miles/gallon (better than an electric car!). Link

Reverse your own odometer in this architectural pop culture gem. The 5,300 sq ft glass-and-steel Ben Rose Home ($2,300,000), and more specifically the matching detached garage, is the site where Cameron gives an unexpected F-U to his dad in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Designed by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid, and once owned by photographer Ben Rose, the house was built in 1953 and is located in Highland Park, Illinois. Vast ravines in rear, but 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California not included.
