A sub-atmospheric speeder with some thicc engines. Great for aerial stunts and high-speed racing, but the insurance rates kinda suck.

I made the stickers with office labels and highlighters. Only the best materials.
The Volkswagen New Beetle is a compact car, introduced by Volkswagen in 1997, drawing heavy inspiration from the exterior design of the original Beetle. Unlike the original Beetle, the New Beetle has its engine in the front, driving the front wheels, with luggage storage in the rear.
At the 1994 North American International Auto Show, Volkswagen unveiled the Concept One, a "retro"-themed concept car with a resemblance to the original Volkswagen Beetle. Designed by J Mays and Freeman Thomas at the company's California design studio. the concept car was based on the platform of the Volkswagen Polo. A red cabriolet concept was featured at the Geneva Motor Show, also in 1994.
Strong public reaction to the Concept One convinced the company that it should develop a production version which was launched as the New Beetle in 1997 for the 1998 model-year, based on the Golf IV's larger PQ34 platform. The New Beetle is related to the original only in name and appearance (including the absence of a car emblem script with the exception of the VW logo). For the 1998 model year, only the TDI compression-ignition engine was turbocharged; the spark-ignition engines were only naturally aspirated. In June 1999, Volkswagen introduced the 1.8T, which was the first turbocharged spark-ignition engine offered for the New Beetle. Volkswagen created a web site dedicated specifically to the 1.8T. A convertible was added for the 2003 model-year to replace the Volkswagen Cabrio. However, the New Beetle Convertible was never offered with a compression-ignition engine in North America. The third-generation Beetle Convertible, the successor to the New Beetle Convertible, was offered with the TDI compression-ignition engine in the USA but not in Canada, though, making it possibly the only diesel convertible car offered in North America.
The New Beetle carries many design similarities with the original VW Beetle: separate fenders, vestigial running boards, sloping headlamps, and large round taillights, as well as a high rounded roofline.

In 1963 Niemeyer became an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects in the United States; the same year, he received the Lenin Peace Prize from the USSR. Who else can claim this kind of feat?
Steampunk est le nom d'un courant essentiellement littéraire dont les intrigues se déroulent dans un xixe siècle dominé par la première révolution industrielle du charbon et de la vapeur (steam en anglais). Il s'agit d'une uchronie faisant référence à l'utilisation massive des machines à vapeur au début de la révolution industrielle puis à l'époque victorienne.
On y retrouve l'utilisation de matériaux « nobles » tel que le cuivre, le laiton, le bois et le cuir. Pour cette raison, il est parfois plus approprié de parler de « rétrofuturisme » ou d' « uchronie » pour désigner le mouvement.
L'expression steampunk, qui signifie littéralement punk à vapeur, parfois traduite par futur à vapeur, est un terme inventé pour qualifier un genre de littérature né à la fin du xxe siècle (même si des origines peuvent être trouvées dans des récits de Jules Verne), dont l'action se déroule dans l'atmosphère de la société industrielle du xixe siècle. Le terme a été forgé à la fin des années 1980 en référence au cyberpunk (terme apparu en 19841).
L'allure vestimentaire est un mélange du siècle victorien et d'accessoires divers. Elle incorpore des éléments d'avant et après les deux guerres mondiales. L'esthétique vestimentaire steampunk se rapproche de la mode gothique, elle aussi d'inspiration victorienne.
The backstory is that the palm trees provide alternative energy by collecting solar power which is then stored in the coconut-like globes around the trunk. When the globes are full, they are harvested. That's the reason why one of the palm trees is lower and without its globes.

Here is another (I assume) contemporary illustration of the fabled mooring mast. This is the biggest fact that never was. I found this one on reddit. www.reddit.com/r/RetroFuturism/comments/3hl4aq/in_the_20s...
