Was going through my various photos today and came across this one. It's a picture I took of some worms my brother-in-law and I bought one day to go fishing. This are some kind of hybrid worms and have been injected with green dye so fish are attracted more to them I guess. They reminded me of the Incredible Hulk, and if you can say such a thing they were also very strong! The little barbs on them are pretty significant too, these were like mutant worms, the fish did like them too! 
Just saw this little puppy posted on Engadget's website. I'm sure it's cost would be right up there with a car, but this goes beyond mode of transportation. [Disembodied voice: Mr. Bean, back away from the drool. Rejoin us in reality!]
When I first met my wife she had a 1996 Red Mitsubishi Eclipse. I enjoyed driving the car, it was a manual transmission and I could normally squeeze out 500+ miles to a tank of gas. That would come in really handy now. However, my outlook on life right now and specifically with car purchases precludes me from buying a new car. Whenever I do end up having to buy myself a car, I don't plan on spending more than $3000 for it and to either buy it with cash or pay it off super quickly.
