So i am kind of interested in wrapping my car with an advertisement. How does this work? I heard you get paid for wrapping it, if so how much?? Please can you give me detail on it as much as you can to help me make my decision?
Answer
What you want to do is do a search on "paid to drive advertising". or paid to wrap your car. A better search would be to add your local area in the search string ie paid to drive advertising in los angeles. There are a ton of companies out there offering info on this. Be careful some of them are just broker sites or sites selling the info on getting paid to drive or paid to get your car wrapped. If they want you to pay something up front then it's a scam. Most major cites and heavily populated areas have paid to drive opportunities. You will most likely not get to choose the sponsor wrap that they will wrap your vehicle with. You will probably not find anyone who will pay you to wrap your car. The deal is the car wrap is free and they will pay you anywhere from around $350-$400 a month to drive their ad around. So this a supplemental income venture not a full-time job. They will want you to travel the most congested routes of couse for more exposure so if your a shortcut or backroad driver then forget the idea. ;) A lot of the companies will actually chose a route for you or pay you on a scale based on the different routes that are available in your area. If you are a road warrior that likes to drive 800 miles or more a month and live in a highly populated area you have a good chance of being selected. There is a waiting list for these opportunities due to the fact that there are more people interested in doing this than there are opportunities available. In some cases they will actually give you the use of a free car if you are in a highly desirable area. So if you live in a major city you have much better odds of getting accepted and of course the wait time to process your paid to drive application will be much less. I unfortunately live in an area that isn't populated enough to have this opportunity. Doesn't hurt to fill out the applications. You never know. Good luck! ;)

Car Trouble (Coolant Leak)?
desertsk8t
I noticed that my car was getting very hot, so i took it to have the coolant flushed and refilled. while refilling, the mechanic said that he noticed a leak in there, but had no idea where it was (unless i pay extra for him to find it). well, i had to work, so i just picked up my car and left. I put some sealing fluid (radiator) in the radiator and left. Tongiht while i was driving my car starting letting out high amounts of steam from the front, and eventually started to rattle whenever id give it gas...as i slowed down, well, it eventually died. A friend looked at it and said the Water Pump had a leak and was spraying coolant everywhere, which got on the belt and loosened it (which hypothetically caused the squeak). we put more coolant and drove to a parking spot squeak free. does this sound like it is the pump? if so, how could i fix it besides going to the shop?
i own a 1996 pontiac firebird

well sweetie, it would help if you gave some info like type of car, year, engine, ect... but since you didnt i can tell you that many waterpumps have weep holes that will leak water as a way of saving your engine if you over heat or have other problems like its getting old and will be failing soon, so its possible that you have a weep hole thats leaking and yes that would soak your belts and make them slip and squeal. now that hole is small and since the cooling sys is under pressure it can spray water when hot. now heres a quick fix that would make my dad roll over in his grave but you can take a self taping screw that slightly thicker than the hole and wrap some teflon tape around it- white plummbers tape- and then screw it into the hole but be careful not to over tighten because you will strip out the hole- its only aluminum, and that will stop the leak and let you drive trouble free for a while. i did that to the waterpump on a chevy truck of mine and it lasted for yrs that way, but honestly this is a temp fix to get you to your next paycheck so the waterpump can be replaced properly. i hope this helps sweetie, and a mechanic that would charge extra to do a pressure test on the cooling system is a rip-off. go to autozone, use their pressure tester for free and you hook it up in place of the radiator cap and pump it like a bicycle pump and then look for where the water is coming out, sometimes its the pump, other times its an old bypass hose or a heater hose or what have you. but those are my best suggestions and as you can see some girls know about cars, lol.
