Gasoline prices got you down? Try floating in your own personal blimp!
Roll into work in your personal blimp and give the finger to the greedy oil companies!
This clearly goes under the "toys for the person who has everything" category!
Skyacht is working on the first "practical" personal blimp (or airship as some might call it) which, someday, you'll be able to buy and float around in. This would definitely get you noticed as you go floating right by traffic jams, at least until everyone has their own blimp, and then you'd get stuck in comical balloon-bouncing traffic jams instead 
And, if you've got one of these and are late to work, you can claim that there was a serious headwind or you got blown off-course. The boss cannot argue with that!
