Groovy up your bedtime with this VW Bus Bed
Filed under: Classics, Etc., Volkswagen, Design/Style

As a car-obsessed tot, your author used to snuggle up in his bed, pretending he was taking a long road trip in a Volkswagen camper van. The fantasy went so far as to include a small fan so there would be a constant rhythmic chatter similar to the air-cooled flat-four that helped build the Volkswagen name. While pure imagination capably transformed a twin bed into a Westfalia-trimmed Type II on a nightly basis, a user over at Instructables…

I thought that nothing could top the previous Obama rock video of this sort, Bob Dylan singing the Times Are A Changing. But take a look at this. If someone had previewed this clip for me when I was in college protesting the Nixon regime, I would have gone into shock. In a good way.

It almost makes me forgive Tim Geithner. Almost.

I'll be very curious to see what my friend +John Voelcker learns from tesla and owners. If this is true it will severely damage +Tesla Motors reputation

Update Voelker has an update, Tesla acknowledges the need to keep the Roadster plugged in, although they have not acknowledged if customers have had to pony up for new batteries. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1073289_tesla-battery-bricking-the-real-story-behind-the-post

Why should this guy have any more of a voice in how America or the world is run than any of us just because he got stupid rich from his casinos in Macau?

Billionaire Newt-Backer: I May Give $100 Million
Casino mogul and Newt Gingrich funder Sheldon Adelson says he doesn’t believe rich people should influence elections, but that may not stop him from giving, say, “$10 million or $100 million.”
