The Volkswagen Beetle. Live below your means.

Volkswagen Beetle. Live below your means.
If you'd like to get around the high cost of living, we have a suggestion: Cut down on the high cost of getting around. And buy a Volkswagen. Its only $17995. That's around $1200 leSs than the average amount paid for a new can today. (Leave it in the bank. More's coming.)
A VW saves you hundreds of dollars on up-keep over the years. It takes pints, not quarts, of oil. Not one iota of anti-freeze. And it gets about 27 miles to the gallon. The average can rthirsty devil that it is) only gets 14. So the more you drive, the more you save.
And chances are, you'll drive it for years and years. (Since we never change the style, a VW never goes out of style.) Of course, a VW's not much to look at. So a lot of people buy a big flashy can just to save face. Try putting that in the bank.

O Actros GigaSpace em escala 1:18 é o caminhão perfeito para transportar suas miniaturas de carros

Quando se trata de expor na estante uma coleção de miniaturas de carros, a criatividade é fundamental para causar uma grande impressão. A Mercedes-Benz deu uma ótima ideia para os aficionados. Trata-se do caminhão Actros GigaSpace, na escala 1:18, e uma carreta estilo "cegonha".

Com ele, é possível expor algumas de suas miniaturas de carros em sua estante. O caminhão pesa 10 kg e mede 1,13 m de comprimento. Esta é a primeira vez que a Mercedes-Benz oferece um caminhão e carreta na escala 1:18.

Do you think the Volkswagen Beetle is homely?

Do you think the Volkswagen is homely?
The Volkswagen was designed from the inside out. Every line is a result of function. The snub nose cuts down wind resistance. The body lines hug the interior workings. Nothing pro-trudes. One Briton called the Volkswagen ''a marvelous economy of design.'' An American owner put it differently. ''It's funny,'' he said, ''how she grows on you. At first you think she's the homeliest thing you ever saw. But pretty soon you get to love her shape. And after awhile, no other car looks right.'' The VW defies obsolescence. You can hardly tell the doughty shape of a 1950 model from a '61. To suggest altering it is heresy to owners. (Would you change the perfect form of an egg?) But we are continually making changes you cannot see. Example: a new anti-sway bar eliminates sway on curves. Over a hun-dred such changes since 1950, but never in the basic design. Is the Volkswagen homely? It depends on how you look at it (and how long).
