With the recession dragging on, a lot of people are opting to non-op gas-guzzling automobiles and go with their lighter-weight (and less expensive) counterparts: motorcycles. These two-wheeled transporters can not only split lanes, saving you time in traffic, they can also go further on a lot less fuel, which is great news for those of us trying to save a few bucks. However, not everyone is interested in bikes solely for their ability to cut back on the price at the pump.

To automotive connoisseurs, a vintage car is a beautiful work of art, splendid in its form, performance, and aesthetic appeal. They are just as precious as a painting or sculpture, and now demand as much money in the car collecting market. This past Saturday, as with the Picasso before it, the 1930s Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic set a record to become the world’s most expensive car at $30 million.
