I’ve heard fo caffeine being able to give you an extra boost for the day, but I didn’t think it could do the same for a car. This white, 1988 Volkswagen has been altered to run on coffee grounds. So, in the future when we drive to a Starbucks, there’ll be a pump for every type of coffee drink.
This is for all the car fans and eco-friendly fans. Porsche has just unveiled a hybrid vehicle. So not only can you feel the wind whipping at your hair as you tear down the interstate, you’ll be doing a favor for the evironment as you do so. I hope these things don’t cost an S&P company to get one.
Okay, so I’ve been talking to a lot of people and really reading up on this electric car VS hybrid car deal. I’m starting to think that a hybrid will not save me any money or really do much to lower the foot print I leave. Since all of my driving is city driving (lower than 40 mph) a hybrid would likely run on more gas then electric and a full battery powered car might also have issues and need charging more due to stop and go traffic.
I’m throwing this out to those who may be in the know. I’ve decided to add a little green to my life. It’s time to lower my carob footprint but I don;t want to lose my reliable auto for a car that’s going to die on me. Almost all of my driving is city driving and I don’t know if I should look for a hybrid or an all electric car? Has anyone out there made the leap and what can you tell me about both? Help me make my decision.
