me and my girl bought ours this year, bought a 10th each. Though we saw people dropping 200 euros to buy the whole number (and more!). Don't know if they mention it in the link but theres a town here in spain who have won the dam thing 7 times. So they changed the name to 'Suerte' meaning Luck.
The footage of the cars going behind the jumbo jet is from Top Gear, the experiment being: What happens to a car when its hit by a jet engine at full blast?
p.s to Nicholas Dollak , i urge you to buy a new hybrid. Second hand ones offer inferior milage because the batteries have started to wear out (think like mobile phone batteries, over time they never seem to last as long, same rule applies to hybrids), and people sell them on because they are unwilling to replace them. So you would get better fuel economy but in truth with diesel cars, they are more economic that hybrids at the moment so I'd recommend grabbing one of them
here in the uk its it £1.30 a litre as of today (the price at my local climbed 3p this week alone as the stock holders pushed the price up of crude to $135 a barrel). Which roughly translates as a little over $11 a gallon. And most of that's tax!
Personally i feel we've allready passed breaking point, namely because the big companies are scrambling to make more economically friendly vehicles. Toyota Prius and soon to be GM's Volt. Though if you have a whole heap of cash to spare get a Telsa car (you lucky americans, only available in usa at mo) completly electric so no more petrol complaints and its got a range of over 200 miles to boot!
In the next couple of years we should see a big roll out of family size vehicles at reasonable ( i hope) prices.
btw the volt is rubbish. it only gets 30 miles a charge! and GM where the world leaders in the electric car field gah!
maybe next time neatorama could tell people when their item has shipped?
