Carnival Of Cars: A Drive Around The Auto Blogs Block For The Week Of 2/2/13

Joining these types of groups is normally free. A person posts an unwanted item to the group and an email goes out to everyone in the area, telling them the details. Once someone responds to the post, stating that they would like the item, the details are worked out between the giver and recipient.



A couple of other very helpful tools you should always keep in your vehicle are maps and a compass. In the electronic age, people have become overly dependent on GPS. While GPS units are great to have, they should not be completely relied upon; we have all read numerous articles lately where people have gotten stranded due to following wayward GPS directions. Also, in the off chance you get stuck and are forced to walk, the batteries will not die on a map and compass. To get started, expensive TOPO maps are not necessary; Costco sells maps books that cover your specific region made by DeLorme that run about $20. You can also pick up similar books at most book stores and sporting goods stores.

People are claiming it is now possible to convert their cars to run on water. This sounds like a complete scam doesn't it? Well shockingly enough, it is NOT a scam at all, and it is actually fairly simple to convert any car or truck. This technology was found about 30 years ago and has been tested ever since. The maximum test results have shown a car tripling its gas mileage. And the worst test result showed a 40% increase in Miles Per Gallon. Those results are amazing. That means your car will run get from 40%-300% better gas mileage after it is converted. That can lead to thousands of dollars of savings each year.

Currently the trains need to have the freight off loaded to trucks. But what if those railcars were sent to rail friendly 'super hubs'. And the smaller, expediter trucks took it from the regional super hubs to the end user, just-in-time.

The current trucks would grow slightly to support the large warehouses being built now in the industrial parks. That would give rise to, and the time for the necessary rail systems to be upgraded to supply these super hub warehouses. Talk to a commercial realtor. The warehouses are being built because they are profitable! Pilzer's predictions are coming true.

Aside from having confidence to go exploring, knowing your vehicle, and building your driving skills, there are other important factors to consider. Primarily safety for you and your passengers is paramount to a good time. Always keep a first aid kit in your vehicle; this should be the rule even if you are not going into the middle of nowhere. While high dollar, high end first aid kits are readily available, even a simple, cheap one from Wal Mart will do just fine to get you started.

In the physical world, you can see that. Anybody would see that the town is on the skids, and the economic base probably won't support [in this case] another fast food restaurant. But in the internet world, the virtual world we cannot see that.
