How many bucks would you spend to watch a Jet and a bike make love? Not very many I guess, but you must be curious to see the result of this rather unfortunate procreation. Meet MonoTracer! The futuristic looking vehicle is actually a real-life working model and is being built and sold by Peraves.
Basically, MonoTracer is an advanced version of the normal bikes. A cabin mounted on a bike and the drag gets minimized to a great extent, making MonoTracer highly effective at achieving high speeds and greater levels of safety. The vehicle flies at a top speed of 250 kmph and can go from zero to hundred in 5.7 seconds. So time for the distressing factor now: the price. You must doll out $82,350 for a MonoTracer. But hey, the coolness associated with this one makes the buying decision a no-brainer.

If you spent US$ 1.4 millions in a Bugatti Veyron, you probably would like to give your very own touch to the car, after all, you do not want to be like any other regular millionaire that bought one of them, you want to add your touch.
If you are rich enough, here is your treat, a shift knob made with 10 ounces of white gold and 30 karats of diamonds.
The price? Only US$ 150,000

Ever been on a train this nice?
Believe it or not, the photo above is of a train interior in Japan !
With the results looking nicer than most nurseries, the Japanese have taken the idea of 'child-friendly public transport' to the next level with these 2 beauties, both designed by eiji mitooka. He was the artistic force behind 'omoden' (toy train) and 'ichigo ec' (strawberry train), a couple of regional trains which travel on a daily basis on the 14.3km kishigawa line in japan..
The Japanese are intent on making train travel a more comfortable experience for everyone, women and children especially, and the results are incredible.
Both trains contain hundreds of toys, TV screens showing cartoons, immaculately clean wooden flooring and cots for younger children. Call me cynical but I can't imagine anything like this emerging in India unless it was an attraction at a theme park.
