Has anyone heard of this? $600 car

$600 car Volkswagen's $600 car gets 258 mpg -- It looks like Ford, Chrysler and GM missed the boat again! China launches $600 car that will get 258 mpg  This $600 car is no toy and is ready to be released in China next year. The single seater aero car totes VW (Volkswagen) branding. Volkswagen did a lot of very highly protected testing of this car in Germany, but it was not announced until now where the car would make its first appearance. The car was introduced at the VW stockholders meeting as the most economical car in the world is presented. The initial objective of the prototype was to prove that 1 liter of fuel could deliver 100 kilos of travel. Spartan interior doesn't sacrifice safety.  The aero design proved essential to getting the desired result.  The body is 3.47 meters long and just 1.25 meters wide and a little over a meter high.  The prototype was made completely of carbon fiber and is not painted to save weight. The power plant is a 1-cylinder diesel positioned ahead of the rear axle and combined with an automatic shift controlled by a knob in the interior. Safety was not compromised as the impact and roll-over protection is comparable to the GT racing cars. $600 car gets 258 mpg The Most Economic Car in the World will be on sale next year: Better than Electric Cars = 258 miles/gallon: IPO 2010 in Shanghai This is a single-seated car.  From conception to production: 3 years and the company is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany.

Thought for the Day: Special Moments

Special Moments

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

'She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion.

Well, I guess this is it.

He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.

He turned to me and said:

'Never save something for a special occasion.

Every day in your life is a special occasion'.

I still think those words changed my life.

Now I read more and clean less.

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.

I spend more time with my family, and less at work.

I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.

I no longer keep anything.

I use crystal glasses every day...

I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions. I use it whenever I want to.

The words 'Someday....' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary.

If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now....

I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.

I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.

I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food.

It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

Thought for the Day: Just Look Up!

THE BUZZARD: If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet but that is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. THE BAT: The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash. THE BUMBLEBEE: A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out.  It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself. PEOPLE: In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!  That's the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem!  Just look up. Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously , care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us. Amen!

Wonderful story

Can I Borrow $25?

 

  A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his

  5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

 

  SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

  DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.

  SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

  DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.

  SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an  hour?'

  DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'

  SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

 SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

 

  The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you

  Can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then

  You march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why

  You are being so selfish. I don't work hard every day for such  childish

 Frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

 

 The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boys'

  Questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

  After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think:

  Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00

 And  he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of

   The little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He

  Asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking,

   Maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long

   Day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'

 

   The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!'

   He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled

   Up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get

   Angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then

   Looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already

  Have some?' the father grumbled. Because I didn't have enough, but

   Now I do,' the little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an

   Hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to

   Have dinner with you.'

 

   The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he

   Begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you

   Working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our

   Fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter

   To us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of

   Your time with someone you love.

 

   If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily

   Replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave

   Behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

 

   From my house to yours

 

  'The light of God surrounds us.

   The love of God enfolds us.

   The power of God protects us.

   The presence of God watches over us.

   Wherever we are God is and all is well.'
