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?

Driver Survivor — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:45:18 +0000

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.

Cheers,

Free Classified Sites Added for Successful Advertising

Driver Survivor — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:11:17 +0000

You may or may not have noticed that I have added a free classified section to the site which is accessible by clicking on the Free Classified heading near the top. Basically it is a form of advertising which is highly rated and I have used it successfully.

If you join the referral program, which is free also, you may be able to refer others and pick up a bit of funds for doing so. There is no obligation. The US Free Ad (buy or sell anything) site seems to be very popular, it is multi-purpose with ads for many different ads and it can be combined with the Jeeps Classified. You will get good exposure to any site or product you wish to advertise or bring attention to.

I will post the sample of the banners that you can use and also the text links so you can see how those look on a website.

If you have a blog you can add the links or banners, if not you may want to try it on a free site such as blogger

You will also notice many bloggers using Google Adsense on their blogs and websites for additional revenue.

Cheers,

Car Accidents Can Be Dangerous To Your Health. Funny, Is It?.

Driver Survivor — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 22:31:39 +0000

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!

Villeneuve Qualifies For Nextel NASCAR Race On Sunday

Driver Survivor — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 21:56:27 +0000

Villeneuve is starting from the 27th spot in race. The race will have 3 former Indy 500 winners for the first time. Joining Villeneuve will be Juan Pablo Montoya and Sam Hornish Jr.

Qualifying third was Jeff Gordon and teammate Jimmie Johnson, the current leader, will start 6th. Gordon is only 30 points behind Johnson at the moment.

Recent Canadian Press Photo of Villeneuve:

The Big One and Villeneuve at Talladega

Driver Survivor — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 02:13:11 +0000

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

Driver Survivor — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 23:43:18 +0000

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,
