New Volkswagen Bus?


Originally the concept car was announced in the Detroit Auto show in 2001 but recently it has been redesigned and they're previous 3.2 liter V6 has been replaced by 85 kilowatt electric motor with 199 pound-feet of torque. The current pros to this are the savings in gas prices every year but sadly the top speed limit is 87 mpg but VW states that a single charge can get you an average of 180 miles

Are you feeling the gas prices?


I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but after the whole egypt protest libya thought they could do it as well so know we have they're government on the verge of destruction. Libya is one of the top ten riches countries when it comes to oil which can only mean that prices per barrel will rise and we will drive less and spend less furthering the recession that's never talked about anymore.



On a side note yesterday I went to the mall and was surprised to see so many stores closing down, even the major stores like FYE could not compete and had to shutdown. How bad is it hitting us when these stores are going down? People are in fear and it's only bound to get worse.

Any Suggestions on how to fix it?

Is being selfish bad?


Although you do not think so, you are selfish! This doesn't mean that you have done something wrong, in fact it is normal to be selfish if we weren't where would we be now?

Selfish desire is a motivation to act from your own point of view in which you are driven by a desire to change a feeling to another, this is an extremely important factor to recognize in life but choose to overlook it. I believe that Selfishness motivates human emotion, by thinking of what you want you may choose to help others in order to help yourself which should still be considered a selfish thought but it's the bright side of the selfishness the media and society portrays as being wrong.
