Coolest Thing of The Day: Car-Bar-Crib

Lloyd Banks only rides Beamer Benz or Bentleys, but how about a VW Beetle? It started with a simple idea familiar to Americans, the trailer.  Upgrade that trailer with a German makeover and what do you get?  An eco-friendly, child-friendly 3 floor 'car' where you can literally eat, sleep and drink in.  The first project that Markus Voglreiter worked on was a 70's inspired auto residence in Austria.  The home that he built was 900 square foot which actually sounds very spacious compared to a Manhattan studio apartment.  The car-house is also 3 floors and compartmentalized with two dwelling areas making it appropriate for a small family.  A 3-liter heating and insulation technique makes the auto residence energy efficient and is minimized in its consumption.
