High quality, handcrafted wooden patio furniture is great to begin with. Match that with the ease and elegance of a glider, and you've got the best of both worlds. Rocking chairs and porch swings are all right, but for the highest level of comfort, go with a glider or glider swing. They look beautiful and will support you when you most need it.
What's a Glider?
If you haven't had a chance to own or even sit in a glider, then you've been missing out. That's because sitting on a glider is like sitting on a cloud. Better yet, it's the most comfortable seat ever and it moves, lulling you into levels of relaxation you never thought possible. Gliders are modified rockers in that unlike a rocker which moves on a fulcrum arc via two base rockers, a glider has a fixed base unit, with a seat that moves back and forth on a hardware track. Because of this, they are less dangerous because no part of the chair's base ever leaves the ground, while the movement of the rockers from a rocking chair can pinch toes and cat tails if you're not careful. That also differentiates them from a glider swing, whose base is either fixed or never even touches the ground. Also, gliders operate with minimal movement of the legs, so there's even less work for you.
But the advantages don't end there. Gliders are manufactured for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoor gliders feature plush upholstery, often in ultra soft fabrics like micro-suede, and in a range of colors to choose from. Outdoor gliders can be just as comfortable and attractive though, carved out of beautifully finished woods like cedar and teak. You can also find reclining gliding chairs, and ones with matching ottomans. These matching ottomans are often themselves gliders, meaning your legs can be elevated and also glider in sync with the rest of your body, making for the smoothest ride possible.
Okay, but then what's a Glider Swing?
To clarify, the term glider swing can be a little vague, and depending on whom you ask, can mean a few different things. First, there is the glider swing which basically resembles a cross between a regular outdoor glider and a bench. These are freestanding models, much like the normal glider, and it operates in exactly the same way. The only visible difference is that's wider like a bench so as to seat two or three people at a time.
The following type of glider swing is a little more complex in design. This variation offers two separate benches that face one another, but work on an attached track which connects the two at the base. There's often a matching canopy, which not only shield riders from sun and rain, but also helps to stabilize the unit as a whole. These swings are great for social use, as it allows for four people to converse in a confined space and all contributing to the gliding motion.
The last variation on the glider swing is the least like a typical glider, but ironically the most like a swing.That's because it resembles the second variation in appearance, but not in function. These swings also have a canopy, but a much more useful one that acts as a framework to connect the seats to the top by swinging beams. Once again, riders face one another, but the seats swing rather than glide and no part of them ever touches the ground. Choosing which type of glider swing is the right for you depends a little on space and budget, but mostly it's a matter of personal taste.

Volkswagen’s Gx3: a Loss or a Disaster?
The Volkswagen GX3 looks like a three-wheeled hornet from another planet -- at least that’s what its detractors say about it.
Despite its appearance however, the Volkswagen G3 is considered a radical ride. It was first unveiled last January 2006, could have reach production at the end of that same year and reached dealers spring of 2007. Unfortunately its detractors prevailed; it only took eleven hours for them to magically banish the GX3, never to return again. The big question is: Was the GX3 a loss or a disaster?
The GX3 is one of Volkswagen’s vehicles were users can lie down with both legs comfortably stretched out in the long tunnel leading to the narrow pedal box. Its five-point seatbelt straps you into the thinly padded bucket, which has a fixed backrest and side bolsters. It doesn’t have handlebars, a hand-operated clutch, and a twist-grip throttle, which are common to other vehicles instead it has foot pedals for the clutch and the brakes, a gear lever located between the seats, and a tiny, suede-rimmed steering wheel that looks and feels as if it came from a racing car.
It has an engine that delivers only 80 of the promised 125hp and in fairness to Volkswagen it has equipped the GX3 with high quality auto parts like Volkswagen ball joints that are meets the high standard set by the automaker for its vehicles. The steering rack is from the Lotus Elise, and the brakes are adapted from VW's European-market Golf and Polo.
Lotus has also had a hand in the GX3’s unequal-length control arm front suspension. The front tires are pretty standard at 215/45WR-17, but the single rear semi-slick is a 315/30YR-18. The fourteen-spoke aluminum rear wheel is located on a lightweight, single-sided swing arm with a compact coil-over damper. And in order to cut cost or for some other reasons, the German automaker has opted for a chain to relay power to the rear wheel despite the fact that a driveshaft would have been classier and a belt would have been quieter.
Originally, Volkswagen planned to market the GX3 as a motorcycle as its entry to high-occupancy vehicle lanes despite the fact that the footprint of the GX3 is closer to that of a car. The GX3 is a two-seater vehicle measuring 73 inches wide, 148 inches long, and four feet tall. It rides on a 106-inch wheelbase and sports a broad 64-inch front track, which supposedly makes it perfect for weaving through busy traffic.
The experience that the GX3 conveys is as intimate as that offered by the conventional motorcycles. This means that once you ride on the GX3 you can really sense the detailed texture of the road surface and noticed even the tiniest irregularities which help you to watch out for gravel, puddles, and diagonal seams. You also learn to dodge potholes and avoid transverse ridges.
The GX3 is the only vehicle that could make evenly smooth looking asphalt road uneven and expect also for longitudinal grooves to bounce you off course without warning. Conversely crests, expansion joints, manhole covers, and crosswinds are also liable to seriously deflect the flight path---in fairness again to Volkswagen all the aforementioned untoward incidents only happens at sports car speed. And according to the automaker the GX3 can pull up to 1.25g of lateral force enough to cause you heart attack and your cheeks to wobble.
The GX3 is likened to a high-tech soapbox, its flyweight and weighs 1257 pounds when empty meaning no occupants on board. To provide it with a balanced side weight distribution, the fuel tank, the 2.8-cubic-foot cargo cubicle, the swing arm, and the battery are all situated on the passenger's side of the vehicle. And according to Volkswagen the GX3 can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.7 seconds made possible by its 125hp, 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission. The automaker also added that it can achieve a top speed of 125 mph and an average fuel consumption of 45 mpg.
