The BBC is reporting more than 2 million cars sold in the UK in 2012.  That's the highest number of car sales they've seen since 2008.

  

Did you know there are more than 600 million cars on the road, around the world, and that number will double in the next 30 years.

And, while we're on the subject of cars, I was reading that a man in Johannesburg, South Africa parked his car at the airport, over a year ago, and gave the keys to a friend.  Apparently the friend didn't tell the man the car was still parked at the airport and the man didn't think to ask.  Anyway, the parking fee is over $5,000 (U.S. MONEY).

 

I'd like to know the "rest of the story".  How could you go a whole year without noticing your car was missing?
