Citizens of Barkingside, Essex in England are criticizing a parking officer for issuing a ticket on a car which had been involved in a major car accident.

The next time a major hurricane threatens Florida, those with the money to do so can bypass crowded interstates and escape the looming destruction on a fleet of private jets. Brian Rems, a Galaxy Aviation executive who was unable to get plane tickets for his family at any price as Hurricane Wilma bore down on the state, has launched a new program called "HelpJet" to ferry up to 1,000 people to locations such as Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville ahead of future storms.

A 1967 Volkswagen Beetle formally owned by Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann is being auctioned on Ebay for $383,000 or 300,000 euros from $105,000. The 12,000 euro blue book value of the car apparently makes no difference to fans of the coach who took Germany to the semi-finals. Klinsmann drove the car in 1994 and 1995.
