Way Cool, Man!

Years ago, when the girls were little... we bought our first minivan... a Volkswagen Bus, pale green and cream it had a manual transmission and no carpets. I can tell you, I was thrilled at the purchase of the Bus, I had always wanted one! It was the perfect vehicle at the time for us with 2 kids, a busy life and a love of camping. No matter where we went, we had plenty of room and even though the inside had few luxuries, it worked.


  Now VW has come out with a new Microbus that just may be the answer to this generations needs. This week the new Bulli was debuted at the Geneva Auto Show. An electric-powered bus with six seats, it uses an iPad to control the entertainment system, climate control and other functions and has a massive 40kWh lithium-ion   battery, which gives a range of 186 miles! Much better than any electric so far...



My husband says in our lifetime we WILL purchase an electric car...I just wonder if this will be the one! Now where did I put my hippie beads???
