Although the price of gas has gone up in recent years, driving is still cheaper than chartering a team of Clydesdales and snobbish sled dogs who refuse to make engine-vrooming noises. Celebrate America's favorite canine alternative with today's Groupon: for $4, you get one ticket good for one day's admission to the Silicon Valley International Auto Show, produced by Motor Trend and held at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center January 6–9 (up to a $9 value, depending on age).

The Silicon Valley International Auto Show features cars from across the entire automotive spectrum—classics and new models from major manufacturers, concept cars from Corvette and Hyundai, and iconic Hollywood autos such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen's Stingray Concept. View vehicles from autowrights such as Chevrolet, Buick, and Dodge, including the Dodge Durango, making its Silicon Valley International Auto Show debut. Chevy's 2011 American Pride Camaro sports an airbrushed finish depicting iconic American figures such as military servicemen and former US presidents, including former president Abraham Lincoln and President Bald Eagle. Consult the venue map in advance to chart the most efficient course between each four-wheeled wonder.

Admission to the Silicon Valley International Auto Show is free for kids 6 years old and younger, in honor of their role as America's most prolific drivers. Children ages 12 and under also enter free with a paying adult on Sunday, January 9, 2011.
