Travelers at the airport in Zurich will soon be able to hop off and buy another form of transportation as a souvenir. Our last word in business: Formula 1 race cars. The cars are being auctioned off at the Swiss airport later this month. The former owner of the Swiss Formula 1 team doesn't need them. BMW took over the team a few years ago.
The race cars are duty-free, but the prices will still make travelers drop their boarding passes. The cheapest race car has a starting price of about $73,000, not counting the cost of excess baggage when a buyer tries to take it home.
