Volkswagen Helps West Virginia Flood Victims
In light of the recent devastating floods that have affected West Virginia, the Volkswagen Group of America Foundation has donated $50,000 to the West Virginia Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (WV VOAD). VW has also pledged to match any donations made by employees to the cause. This generous amount will be divided up among WV VOAD’s services to help families and community members who need shelter, food, construction assistance, animal care, and other aid.
If you are interested in making your own donation please visit https://wvvoad.communityos.org/cms/home. That website is also one to use if you, friends, or family members affected by the floods need assistance.

Clever Road Trip Hacks
Who doesn’t love a life hack? Well, in celebration of “official” road trip season we are bringing you a list of our favorite road trip hacks! Whether you are traveling across the state or the country you’ll find a useful hack on this list. Here are seven to get you started:
- Hang an iPad/tablet from the sun visor for a hands-free tv show or movie watching experience.
- Plastic wrap or press and seal wrap make great impromptu “lids” for your drink. Just punch a straw through the middle and sip away!
- Don’t waste money on overpriced drinks that are half filled with ice anyway. Get a personal fridge to keep cans of soda and bottled water in. They aren’t as expensive as you might think and hold a surprising amount.
- Save plastic containers a week or so before your trip. An empty peanut butter jar or coffee creamer container are great sizes for on the go snacks for a shorter trip.
- Drive-thrus and takeout restaurants are notorious for forgetting utensils and napkins. Don’t leave anything to chance and pack your own.
- Make a set of “How-To” cards for on the road repairs and fixes. If you’ve never jumped a car or only changed a tire once, you might forget a critical step if you’re in the middle of nowhere and stressed out. Step-by-step instructions could save you time and money on the road.
- If you’re bringing your four-legged friend on the trip with you, don’t forget about their safety. There are several companies that make comfortable safety seats for animals that fit in the front seat and utilize the seatbelt like a car seat does.

Let’s Go On A Groovy Road Trip!
Buzzfeed recently released a fun decade-themed road trip guide for the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Surprisingly, the 60’s-themed trip goes right through our area so we figured, why not share it with our customers and readers? We’ve highlighted the stops they suggested below. For the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s-themed road trips check out the link here.
Start your groovy 60’s-themed drive at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA. Seeing his work is a great way to get in the mood for what’s to come! From there drive southeast through the Gaithersburg, MD area to Washington, D.C. Once there take in the sights of our nation’s capital and then retire to the Watergate Hotel. After a good night’s rest, get back on the road and head north to NYC, specifically the Upper West Side, where West Side Story took place and where it was filmed in 1961. What 60’s-themed… anything… would be complete without visiting White Lake, NY where the famous Woodstock concerts happened?! Lastly, end your trip in Binghamton, NY, where host, Rod Serling, of the popular 60’s show The Twilight Zone called home.
