SMART Car
W00t! If you've been to Europe in the last 5 years, you know the SMART Car. Well, it's finally been approved for sale in the U.S. I don't own a car, and I don't really need one where I live (in Bucktown, near the El, and I can walk to work), but the SMART Car to me is cool enough that I might lapse. They get 60 MPG and are small enough that you can park them nose-in to a regular parking space, and fit them three abreast in that space. It's like the iPod of cars, somehow.
