Brake Repair
Just popping in today to provide a few pictures of this fine vintage 1991 Subaru machine. It likes the sunshine here near the ocean in Victoria, BC.
Sure, who does not? Well I reckon, not too many of us.
It is a very reliable automobile.
Be well. Always and in all ways.
Hey How Do You Like The Twins? Which One Would You Choose?
Hi folks! Just popping in here, I am considering an auto purchase. Not quite the hybrid, wave of the future, type of auto. Just a bit shy of that. May need a bit of work. Not quite ready to race around the track I suspect.
Which one would you choose? Or should I get both?
Pushing up daisies now, or dandelions!
Cheers,

Feeding Your SUV Corn and Wheat Sucks Big Time
Feeding Your SUV Corn and Wheat Sucks Big Time
Feeding corn and wheat to your SUV is just plain sick. Really it is but that is what is happening out there. Some years ago the politicians in a moment of weakness decided that a great way alternative source of energy was using corn and wheat to produce biodiesel fuel.
Not only has that resulted in soaring prices in these commodities, it has lead to a contribution to the shortage of this food source in the world. Clearly this was not well thought out. Yep, using that food source to feed the SUV is really sick.
To make a better product for fuel they have changed to a lower quality, less protein quality of wheat and corn. So even if they stopped using it that would be a poorer quality source to feed to people.
In a recent report it was said that algae is a better product to use to produce biodiesel as the same acreage can produce some 180 times what is now gotten from corn and wheat.
It looks like it is time to make the switch and help feed people the food products and use an alternative method for our vehicles. Feeding food to cars is not the solution.
There are many ways, many alternatives, let’s hope they get working on something better especially considering the disasters happening around the globe.

Car Accidents Can Be Dangerous To Your Health. Funny, Is It?.
Ok, someone sent this to me and said to listen up. I hesitated at first, not really wanting to listen to the gruesome details.
Well I mustered up the courage and let it play. I suggest you do so but, for sure, be careful, this is very graphic so some things may come undone a bit if you are not too careful.
- This is what could happen to you, I hope not, but:
- Check this out >>>> : Car Accident.
- Who would have thought something so serious. Wow. Impressive.
- You think this is funny?
- Do not try this at home folks. I wonder if this happens at NASCAR. Hmmm. Probably not, eh!
Cheers,

The Big One and Villeneuve at Talladega
The race is over and Villeneuve (21st) managed to escape from being involved in the “big one” as in race car crash. He decided to start at the back of the pack rather than the 6th place position he earned in qualifying. Just a precaution and a wise one it seems. In any case the experience in participating in this race is what he was after and he managed to get 500 miles at that.
Yes, there was a substantial crash that he was not involved in. Both the absorption provided by the track and the design of the cars are attributed to those involved walking away without anything noticeable injury-wise. The sight-lines were quite impaired with lots of smoke to hamper visibility and in some cases that visibility was zero.
The winner was Jeff Gordon who took over the lead on the final lap after hanging back for most of the race.
It appears Villeneuve may take part in the Cars of Tomorrow on Nov 11th at Phoenix.
So with the truck race and the Cup race experience Villeneuve will be looking to add more experience as he moves along this path.
Racing on out of here for now.

Villeneuve Qualifies 10th at Talladega NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
It is a busy weekend for Villeneuve, on Saturday is the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race Oct 6th, 2007. He qualified 10th out of 36 for the truck race. That race is now over and he finished 30th after getting caught up in a 3 vehicle crash on lap 54. At the time he was running near the back of the pack.
He has qualified 6th for his debut in the NASCAR Nextel Cup UAW-Ford 500, for which he has been given the green light by NASCAR. This moves his schedule up by 5 weeks for entry into that series. This appears to be making some nervous as Villeneuve has little experience in drafting other than in a couple of test runs. There also seems to be a number of variables that make these races very challenging and a high likelihood of crashes occurring.
On Sunday he race in the UAW-Ford 500.
So an interesting start to the weekend for Villeneuve and hopefully there will be clear running in the Nextel Cup race tomorrow.
Out of here for now,
