Thinking Inside the Box: The Trabant nT Concept

Electric, electric, electric — the whole world is going electric! It is probable that Herpa Miniaturmodelle GmbH, a little known company that specializes in creating full sized models, counts on this fact.

The company is responsible for this boxy little wonder, which is entirely electric. The Trabant nT concept was debuted at Frankfurt’s famed IAA.

The vehicle is a more modernized interpretation of the original, classic model, which reached popularity when the Berlin Wall came down. Say what you will about the car, but I can totally dig something that symbolic.

As many have pointed out, the nT concept is very evocative of the 1960s Volkswagen Squareback. I say bravo for that. I love VW and, perhaps strangely, I absolutely adore square, boxy vehicles.

Ergo, I would love to see this stateside.

The UK Studies State — Women Drivers Do Not Park As Well As Men!

I’m sure that you have always heard the saying that men are better drivers than women.  Well, in the UK, they have actually studied the parking strategies of women versus men and I have to tell you that men win out in the parking war.  They do – in fact, park better than most women.

Do you know what I think the reason for that is?  Well, I think that it is the fact that women are constantly in a hurry.  Whether they are taking the children somewhere or they are looking to go meet with some friends for lunch, a woman is definitely in a hurry.

Perfect parking is usually last on their list of to do things, so that is the reason I think that women are not as great of parkers as men.
