Ok, it's a little slow, so here is some light
news. Do you like gadgets? I do too. I4U is a good site to check out when
you are looking for interesting and unusual items. I have a nephew
that would sure like one of these VW Beetles for his room.
Motor
Trend magazine called the New Beetle, "a born again automotive icon '” a
cultural and design statement, a piece of fashion jewelry, a nostalgic
toy." Now, it's a stereo whose headlights and taillights turn on!
The all-new New Beetle CD Stereo 2.0 features AM/FM digital scan
tuner with 20 presets and an alarm clock that wakes you to the CD or a
buzzer. Dual stereo speakers are cleverly hidden in its wheels and provide
excellent stereo sound. The windshield is a backlit LCD that shows time,
CD track or radio station. Pop the hood to see all the controls. Also
includes a wireless remote with Volkswagen® logo for CD play and
tuner.
Press a headlamp and the front bumper
slides out to reveal the CD tray. CD functions include repeat, fast
forward, bass boost and auto-memory. The new New Beetle CD Stereo 2.0 is
nearly 17 inches long and plugs into any outlet with its included adapter.
Or power with 6 AA batteries (order separately). Remote uses 2 AAA

Kind of cool, and it is on sale right now for 99
bucks at the Sharper Image. According to
the article at I4U, there is a less expensive version for 49 dollars and
for the rich kids a 129 dollar Chrystler Crossfire.
