They don't have to think about it. They turn on the tap and they have water to wash and water to drink. Here, access to water is a much more complicated issue." Daniel Rojas might have been talking about any place on Earth where water is hard to come by, but his words have a particular salience in Peña Blanca, Chile. The remote, drought-stricken community lies on the fringes of an expanding Atacama Desert, the driest (non-polar) desert on Earth. Parts of this parched, desolate land have never seen a single drop of rain, but by using a cleverly designed system the locals are able to harvest the mist that rolls in from the Pacific for farming, preserving native vegetation, and even producing beer.</p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/how-the-fogcatchers-of-the-atacama-are-bringing-water-to-the-driest-desert-on-earth/39040/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </article> <article class="article-summary article-summary--None" data-article="39054"> <div class="article-top" data-article="39054"> <a class="label" href="/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/marine/"> — Marine </a> <a class="label label-solid" href="/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/features/"> Feature </a> <h1 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/deepflight-dragon-test-drive-personal-submarine-submersible-graham-hawkes/39054/">DeepFlight Dragon review: The awesome underwater quadcopter anyone can drive</a></h1> <ul class="article-attributes"> <li class="article-attributes__writer"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/author/loz-blain/" rel="author" class="link-camo"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> Loz Blain </a> </li> <li class="article-attributes__published"> </li> <li class="article-attributes__pictures"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/deepflight-dragon-test-drive-personal-submarine-submersible-graham-hawkes/39054/pictures" class="link-ui"> <i class="fa fa-picture-o"></i> 40 PICTURES </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/deepflight-dragon-test-drive-personal-submarine-submersible-graham-hawkes/39054/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/deepflight-dragon-review-submarine@2x.jpg" alt="Deepflight Dragon: this personal submersible might look like the Speed Racer Mach 5, but it's actually an incredibly easy and safe sub to drive"> </a> </div> <p>When you get an opportunity to go fly a 1.5 million dollar electric personal submarine that looks like a Formula One car, but operates like a quadcopter in reverse, on beautiful Lake Tahoe, California, damnit you take that opportunity.

In the end this 1961 Ferrari 250 GT sold for $16,830,000"> </a> </div> <p>The Monterey Car Week auctions have come and gone, and the analysts are still trying to sort through the numbers to figure out what they mean. There were more auctions and more cars presented this year than ever before, and the two biggest collectible car auction houses (RM Sotheby's and Gooding & Co.) grew sales considerably year-on-year, but the overall gross take for the combined auctions comes in within a few dollars of last year's record numbers. Like all those who ply the trade as buyers or sellers, the market appears stronger at the top end and slightly softer in the middle.</p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/monterey-car-week-auctions-initial-analysis/38974/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </article> <article class="article-summary article-summary--None" data-article="38983"> <div class="article-top" data-article="38983"> <a class="label" href="/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/automotive/"> — Automotive </a> <a class="label label-solid" href="/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/features/"> Feature </a> <h1 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/photos-2015-monterey-car-week-pebble-beach-concours/38983/">2015 Monterey Car Week and Pebble Beach Concours Pictorial</a></h1> <ul class="article-attributes"> <li class="article-attributes__writer"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/author/somer-hooker/" rel="author" class="link-camo"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> Somer Hooker </a> </li> <li class="article-attributes__published"> </li> <li class="article-attributes__pictures"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/photos-2015-monterey-car-week-pebble-beach-concours/38983/pictures" class="link-ui"> <i class="fa fa-picture-o"></i> 207 PICTURES </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427/http://www.gizmag.com/photos-2015-monterey-car-week-pebble-beach-concours/38983/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905052427im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/pebblebeachweek@2x.jpg" alt="This 1936 Bentley 4 1/2 Liter was among the countless highlights during Monterey Car Week 2015"> </a> </div> <p>The sixty fifth anniversary of the first Pebble Beach auto racing weekend is now much greater than anyone could have envisaged when California's Monterey Peninsula community began this journey.

Their demise is unquestionably a good thing when it comes to air quality in big cities, but despite that many people still miss them, seeking solace in restorations and custom builds. For those who understand this nostalgia, here are ten modern motorcycles that keep the oil-burning spirit alive.
