2000 vw beetle radio code The name Eos was derived from Eos , the Greek goddess of the dawn. However, a limited number of base trim models were sold as models of in the United States. Unlike the Cabrio, which was a convertible version of the Golf hatchback, the Eos was a standalone model with all new body panels, although it shared the platform and components from the Volkswagen Golf Mk5. The wheelbase matches the Golf Mk5 and Jetta. The Eos incorporates into its five piece folding roof an integrated and independently sliding glass sunroof — making the Eos the only retractable hardtop of this kind. The roof folds automatically into the trunk in twenty five seconds, thereby reducing trunk space from The design of the roof system is complex with its own hydraulic control system and numerous rubber seals. Periodic maintenance must be done to keep the seals conditioned so that they function properly. Proper body alignment is critical for proper top function. A facelifted Volkswagen Eos appeared in October , and went on sale as a model of outside Europe. This facelift includes a revised front and rear fascias, headlights and tail lights, side mirrors, as well as new wheel designs. The White Night edition was a special edition with custom wheels, custom black interior and a black and white colour scheme package. Other features include black mirror covers, radiator grille and trim strips, black Nappa leather seats, door and side trim and black steering wheel with light coloured seams, trim strips and radio trim in candy white, sill panel strips with white night letters. This option is available with all non V6 models. Sales of the Eos steadily declined, as hardtop convertibles fell out of favour with buyers. In addition, the Eos was based on the Mark 5 platform, and by , it had become the last model produced on it. With sales declining, Volkswagen elected to not migrate the model to a more current platform, as a redesign would have proven costly. During , Volkswagen announced that the model would be discontinued with a close of the model year of , and Volkswagen produced a Final Edition trim to mark the occasion. This only version slotted into a mid trim range in the United States, and replaced the Sport trim previously sold there. The Final Edition was available in three basic colours: black, brown and white. In August , Volkswagen surprised the North American market, by saying that there would be a very limited run of Eos cars of in the basic Komfort trim only. In October , at least one dealer was quoted as saying only 1, cars were made available for the United States in four colours: black, brown, red and white. Since , the Komfort trim had developed to include a fairly rich complement of standard features to include in dash navigation. These cars were far from being considered 'basic' and in fact were quite well equipped. The final cars of carried a MSRP a good bit below what exactly the same trim line had commanded a year or two earlier, making them a relative bargain as the model finally closed out. By May , the cars were all but gone from dealers. The Eos was released in Europe in the first quarter of , and in North America in the third quarter of Right hand drive markets, such as Japan, began sales in October , followed by New Zealand and Australia in January It was released in South Africa in the second quarter of From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A hippie sometimes misspelled as hippy [1] [2] is a member of the counterculture of the s , originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the mids and spread to other countries around the world. The term hippie was used in print by San Francisco writer Michael Fallon, helping popularise use of the term in the media, although the tag was seen elsewhere earlier. The origins of the terms hip and hep are uncertain. By the s, both had become part of African American jive slang and meant "sophisticated; currently fashionable; fully up-to-date". Hippies created their own communities, listened to psychedelic music , embraced the sexual revolution , and many used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore altered states of consciousness. In the United Kingdom in , many gathered at the gigantic Isle of Wight Festival with a crowd of around , people. Hippie fashion and values had a major effect on culture, influencing popular music , television, film, literature, and the arts. Since the s, mainstream society has assimilated many aspects of hippie culture. The religious and cultural diversity the hippies espoused has gained widespread acceptance, and their pop versions of Eastern philosophy and Asian spiritual concepts have reached a larger group. Lexicographer Jesse Sheidlower , the principal American editor of the Oxford English Dictionary , argues that the terms hipster and hippie derive from the word hip , whose origins are unknown. The term hipster was coined by Harry Gibson in In a essay, Kenneth Rexroth used both the terms hipster and hippies to refer to young people participating in black American or Beatnik nightlife. Although the word hippies made other isolated appearances in print during the early s, the first use of the term on the West Coast appeared in the article "A New Paradise for Beatniks " in the San Francisco Examiner , issue of September 5, by San Francisco journalist Michael Fallon. In that article, Fallon wrote about the Blue Unicorn Cafe coffeehouse located at Hayes Street in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco , using the term hippie to refer to the new generation of beatniks who had moved from North Beach into the Haight-Ashbury district. A July Time magazine study on hippie philosophy credited the foundation of the hippie movement with historical precedent as far back as the sadhu of India, the spiritual seekers who had renounced the world and materialistic pursuits by taking " Sannyas ". Even the counterculture of the Ancient Greeks, espoused by philosophers like Diogenes of Sinope and the cynics were also early forms of hippie culture. Francis of Assisi , Gandhi , and J. Late s to early s, a German youth movement arose as a countercultural reaction to the organized social and cultural clubs that centered around "German folk music". Known as Der Wandervogel "wandering bird" , the hippie movement opposed the formality of traditional German clubs, instead emphasizing folk music and singing, creative dress, and outdoor life involving hiking and camping. Some opened the first health food stores , and many moved to southern California where they introduced an alternative lifestyle. One group, called the "Nature Boys", took to the California desert and raised organic food, espousing a back-to-nature lifestyle like the Wandervogel. The hippie movement in the United States began as a youth movement. Composed mostly of white teenagers and young adults between 15 and 25 years old, [31] [32] hippies inherited a tradition of cultural dissent from bohemians and beatniks of the Beat Generation in the late s. By , hippies had become an established social group in the U. Along with the New Left and the Civil Rights Movement , the hippie movement was one of three dissenting groups of the s counterculture. They used alternative arts, street theatre , folk music , and psychedelic rock as a part of their lifestyle and as a way of expressing their feelings, their protests and their vision of the world and life. Hippies opposed political and social orthodoxy, choosing a gentle and nondoctrinaire ideology that favored peace, love and personal freedom, [40] [41] expressed for example in The Beatles ' song " All You Need is Love ".

During the late s and early s, novelist Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters lived communally in California. The Merry Pranksters were known for using cannabis , amphetamine , and LSD , and during their journey they "turned on" many people to these drugs.
