Who will be sponsoring the #8 car for the '09 season?

Q.

Answer
Rumors are that the #8 car could be parked and Almirola may be without a ride most of the season.
http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/sprintcupseries/Aric_Almirola_admits_some_concern_for_2009_plans_full_Cup_season.html
------------
Let me add one thing. DEI tends to tell people things that are not true. They may say they have a sponsor ready to be announced but that doesn't necessarily mean that is the truth. Of course it's not called DEI now but then again Teresa is still part owner of the business formed by the DEI & Ganassi merger. She already had a contract with Martin Truex and supposedly there was a clause that stated Bass Pros would require that Martin Truex have two full-time teammates for the deal to stand. Currently, in addition to Truexâs fully sponsored team, the #41 car has a full Target sponsorship and the #42 has a partial sponsorship from Juicy Fruit. The #8 DEI car currently has no sponsor for 2009.

So the problem comes in that if they announce they don't have another full-time sponsor then Bass Pros can leave and take Truex and the sponsorship to another team and organization (which Ganassi and DEI doesn't need to happen). So they are not going to say "Hey ... We haven't found a sponsor yet" and take a chance on loosing another sponsor based on a technicality.. They will just say "We have one lined up" when in all likeliness they don't.

What cars under 100,000 have the fastest 0-60 time?

lo

Don't say the Nissan gtr I already know

Answer

http://theteencarguy.blogspot.ca/2013/07/top-10-cars-under-100k.html

the Audi TTRS is also quite fast.
modified Subaru Impreza WRX STIs can also be extremely fast and you can go that with less than $100,000. depending on your modifications, an STI with adjustable coilovers, different springs and tires can go from a street racer to an offroad rally beast in no time at all.

the Caterham Super 7 is also crazy fast for less than $100,000.

Will you give up your car to save on gas money?

car news blogspot image

farquark

I was reading a blog today where the writer is planning to give up her car and do her local errands (shopping, etc.) by bicycle. And she has 3 kids! (at midwestmoms.blogspot.com)

What I want to know is, how much higher to gas prices have to go before people will be priced out of using their vehicles? Would commuting or errands by bike be something you would consider?

Answer
It depends on how much you are sinking financially and how much you need the car.
Even though i am in the city , the current gas prices is not discouraging ,me from getting my car soon. The time being wasted at the bus stations and subway is no longer worth it.
A 10-15mins drive takes me 1hr or more by bus and subway when you add wait times at these stations. this is time that could have been spent doing something else.
I am sure if we examined our current lifestyle we will find somewhere we could cut some spending to divert it to gas.
For me i plan to start with my cable. I think regular TV is just enough. that is some $40 monthly savings for me( good gas money).
For one year since i got my cable i have watched nothing but news and regular TV on it so why continue to pay for it?
So look for your opportunity cost and do not be afraid to go take that step!!!!!

How do you bike on a busy city street?

car news blogspot image

Yonci

I'm a young girl, and I haven't biked anywhere for a while, since my previous bike got stolen. However I am going on a bike trip for school soon, so I need to get a bike. When I do get a bike, I plan to bike all over the city to visit my friends, but I'm not sure how to really bike where there are tons of cars and stoplights and things. I could just use a few tips about dealing with tricky intersections and cars and things. Thanks a bunch!

If im flying, and need to bring a car seat for after the flight,can I carry it on with me or do I have to pay?

Samantha B

How does that work? I need to bring my one year old and hold her in my lap. But I need to bring a car seat while I travel after arrival. Am I going to have to pay for it like extra luggage? Can someone explain to me what are some options for me? Im going to have my purse and diaper bag and luggage. I also have to bring a car seat.

Answer
I would encourage you to purchase a seat for your child. It is not safe for a child to be riding on the lap. I'm sure that means you're thinking "how could it not be safe if they let you do it?" Why? B/c the airline companies know that by offering free fare to 2 and under, they get more families to fly. That's why. That doesn't mean they think its safe. In fact, ask any flight attendant and they will tell you they always prefer to see children properly restrained on the plane. Its not plane crashes you're protecting against, its plane turbulence or other problems that seem minor to an adult, but could be huge for a baby/child. If you go into severe turbulence, you will not be able to hold that child on your lap. And holding a child on your lap is never that easy anyways. They understand the car seat, and are used to it. It means stay put to them. Sitting on a lap does not. And makes you, your child, and everyone else uncomfortable.

You aren't required to, but its a really good idea to take one. Kids do better when they have their seat on the plane, same as in the car. They are less likely to want to run around and such since they are used to being put in a car seat whenever traveling. And believe it are not, they are safer. Should turbulence happen, they are less likely to be injured or scared.

Another thing to consider: will you be doing any traveling by car once you get to your destination? Then you will need the car seat anyway, or you will have to purchase one when you get there. Do not rely on a car seat from a rental company! Its dangerous. Car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture, and are not safe if not taken care of properly. It must never have been in a wreck, never dropped, include all the original pieces and manual, and be installed correctly, something the rental staff will not help you with. On that note, remember too, that it is better NOT to check car seats as luggage. Think of how your luggage gets banged around - well, if your car seat gets banged around, it is no longer safe to use. A car seat is only made to withstand being dropped/in an accident once! And if it gets dropped and you don't know about it, you unwittingly put your child in danger. Better all around to take the seat on the plane.

And the airline is very unlikely to replace the seat if they do damage it. Just check to make sure that your car seat is FAA approved for aircraft use, should say so somewhere on a label on the seat.

Also - if you are planning on having your baby as a lap baby, you should know the truth of what can really happen, check the links below. Flight attendants refer to lap babies as MISSILES!!!! That's right, b/c missiles is what they become when there is heavy turbulence or other problems or rough flights. They give the count as "127 pax (passengers) and 3 missiles". Is a missile what you want your baby to be?
