GET MOVING WITH THE VOLKSWAGEN EOS I’m sure that you’re familiar with car sale ads that invite you to test their vehicle as it was the 2007 Volkswagen EOS that drew my attention, particularly the hardtop convertible feature.

FIRST CLASS STYLE AT BIZ CLASS PRICE My wife, Karen, and I were flying in British Airways’ new business class on a flight from Baltimore, Md. to London and I really needed to get some sleep. I had to drive four hours to Wales on the wrong side of the road as soon as we arrived in London. Usually biz class just means bigger seats and more leg room. But it still amounts to trying to sleep in a chair on an overnight flight, something I’ve never really been able to do. First class seats on British Airways, however, fold down into a flat bed, but the fare is quite pricey.
