Punch Buggy Daddy!

If an original VW Bug was worth one good lick on your sibling's arm and a convertible worth two, then you better break out the gloves when you see this thing coming down the road. Designer Alexandre Verdier introduces the new Westfalia Verdier Solar Power. The award winning design offers several innovations such as a system of intelligent solar panels called "Sun Tracker." This system makes it possible to provide electricity to the on-board accessories while the vehicle is in a stationary position. An on-board computer and a GPS calculate the optimal position for the Sun Tracker. Inside, the passenger seat is transformed mechanically into stairs, so that the second stage area can be easily reached. Of course, in the age of digitalization, your wonderful outdoor nature adventure wouldn't be complete without a multi-media computer with wireless Internet connection. This interface gives you a weather optimized travel plan so that you can follow the sun, historical and ecological comments during the trip, and a directory of campgrounds. All of this technological hippie love can be yours for $69,000. With that price tag, I don't think the Scooby-Do gang will be rolling in one of these anytime soon.
