This often goes unnoticed in real life, but in NASCAR, this kind of pattern is highly visible, Richard petty won his last title in'79, Dale Earnhardt took his first the next year. Dale went on to win 6 more before passing on the prize to Jeff Gordon in'95, These three men are on the top of the list of all time Winston cup winners. Let's look at the men who single handedly sold NASCAR tickets to millions over the years.<br /> <br /> Richard petty<br /> <br /> There have been few drivers as celebrated as him in NASCAR. The King started his career at the age of 21 in'58, and by the time he hung his driving gloves in'92 thirty-five years later he had amassed records that would take generations to break. He won 7 Winston cups (a record tied with Dale Earnhardt SR.) and won 200 races (another record), nearly twice as that of his closest rival David Pearson.<br /> <br /> Dale Earnhardt Sr.<br /> <br /> Dale Earnhardt drove his first race in'75, and competed in 8 more races until his first full season in'79. He showed signs of class early on by finishing in 7th place in overall points standings and was declared the Rookie of the season. He won his first Winston cup in next year, coincidently winning the title after Richard Petty's 7th and final win , a NASCAR record that Earnhardt went on to equal later in his career. Dale died in a tragic car accident at the 2001 Daytona 500 at the age of 49.<br /> <br /> David Gene Pearson<br /> <br /> Born in South Carolina in'34, David Gene Pearson was the first driver to win 3 Winston cup titles. Nicknamed 'The Silver Fox', he won many accolades over his 26 year long career including being declared the Rookie of the Year in'60, and winning the career grand slam at NASCAR, a feat achieved by only 8 people until now. Pearson is also remembered for his outstanding clashes with The King Richard Petty which resulted in 63 one-two finishes between the two in a-- year period.<br /> <br /> Jeff Gordon<br /> <br /> A four time NASCAR sprint cup champion, Jeff showed a lot of promise from his first season in'93, at the end of which he was declared the rookie of the season. He defeated Earnhardt Sr. to win his first title in'95 and repeated the feat three more times, last of which came in 2001. Although Gordon has not won a championship ever since, he is till formidably present on the track, running in third position in the current championship.<br /> <br /> Jimmie Johnson<br /> <br /> Born in El Cajon, California, Jimmie Johnson began his driving career in 2001. His first race win came next year in NAPA Auto parts 500, California. It took him five more years before he could win his first sprint cup, but since then he has not relinquished the title. An interesting point is that he drives for a Jeff Gordon, a man whose record he is set to equal if he wins the NASCAR championship at the end of the season.<br /> <br /> If you are not a fan of NASCAR already, chances are after reading this you will have become one. There is so much more to these men than we could have told you in a few words, and there is so much more to the sport, than you can understand from reading a few pages. So go buy yourself NASCAR tickets, or find a dealer to find your NASCAR TIX for you and begin your affair with the sport. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Ticketstoseats.com is your destination for Nascar tickets and information.

While most insurance companies are adequate, some people may need to upgrade their policy for cost effectiveness or may be adding a second vehicle. Before just contacting your current provider, an online search for car insurance quotes may reveal something better out there.<br /> <br /> Many hobbyists and car buffs will need particular policies if they have restored or are in the process of restoring an antique or classic car. These types of vehicles require special coverage due to their age and type of car that they are. This is particularly true of the classic muscle cars as they tend to be on the road more than the restored antiques.<br /> <br /> By gathering a few of these car insurance quotes and comparing them, one may find that there are better deals out there than what they currently have in place. These companies provide a much higher level of coverage than the average insurance company due to the value of the vehicles. This holds especially true for the antique cars that have been fully restored.<br /> <br /> The antique car policies are unique in that the vehicle is driven much less than any other type of car but still requires insurance against damage for those rare times it is on the road. The actual cost of the premium may be quite a bit lower than a muscle car just due to this. Each of the car insurance quotes received will specify the amount of miles a year that the policy will cover in these cases.<br /> <br /> These same specialty insurance companies offer coverage for antique and classic motorcycles and boats as well. Because they deal strictly in these types of vehicles, the insurance quotes received will be very specific as to the amount of coverage and the price will be the most affordable available. They know the value of these vehicles and do their level best to make sure it is fully covered against almost any contingency.<br /> <br /> When searching for car insurance quotes online, make sure to have all the vehicle information readily accessible. While moving from website to website, submitting multiple online forms to request quotes for each vehicle will be necessary. For those who have more than one vehicle to insure, there are blanket policies available from most providers. This will cover all of owned vehicles in one simple policy rather than requiring a separate one for each.<br /> <br /> Car insurance quotes online are the quickest way to compare rates and coverage for any vehicle imaginable. With today's technology, these quotes may be returned to you in a matter of seconds. In certain cases, the insurance company may need to contact you for more specific details regarding the vehicle and this can make the quote results take a bit more time in getting back to you.<br /> <br /> Take some time and research these companies carefully. There are many from which to choose. Finding the right one for your needs is just a few mouse clicks away. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Obtain <a target='_blank' href="http://car.insurancequotes.info">car insurance quotes</a> now and find information for <a target='_blank' href="http://car.insurancequotes.info">car insurance</a>! </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-21829810202370240862010-01-24T07:51:00.000-08:002010-01-24T08:10:46.503-08:00Finding Cheap Auto Insurance Quotes Online<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By John Bellafonte</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>If you drive, you need car insurance plain and simple. One small accident without it and it's possible to jeopardize everything you own and may end up receiving a fine. In this current economic climate, a cheap auto insurance quote can help keep you legal for less.<br /> <br /> Many car dealers will not even allow you to purchase a car without insurance already in place. For those who have just purchased a new car, money can be very tight after making such a large expenditure. Going online to get a cheap auto insurance quote from a number of different providers will help ease the burden of purchasing a car insurance policy. It's a quick and efficient way to save money and get you on the road faster.<br /> <br /> Multiple vehicle owners will benefit greatly from just such a comparison. Cheap auto insurance quotes online for two or even three vehicles is just as easy to get as a quote for just one. This may be one way to lower that monthly premium without spending a lot of time or legwork getting it done.<br /> <br /> Newly licensed drivers will find discounts available to them by requesting cheap auto insurance quotes from multiple providers. Many offers include reduced rates for good grades and properly completed driver's education classes. Any discount for the new driver is good due to the high risk group they fall into and the normally higher premiums they are required to pay to be insured.<br /> <br /> Once the form is filled out on the provider's website, the quote can be generated and returned in a matter of seconds. This allows for more than one quote to be requested in a short period of time and the comparison to begin. Many insurance companies now offer a multiple quote option on their website, showing their rates and those of other companies for comparable policy coverage.<br /> <br /> The forms that need to be completed are normally quite brief and easy to do. Basic information will be required and should all be gathered first before starting the search. This includes in particular, all of the vehicle information such as year, make, and model along with the vehicle identification number.<br /> <br /> While the average cheap auto insurance quotes are created in about an hour some may be completed in seconds. Each website will request an email address that the quote may be sent to once it is finished. Be sure that the address is a good one and that you have printer access as well to make a copy for side by side comparison with other received quotes.<br /> <br /> Many of the providers will send cheap auto insurance quotes online in the hopes that you decide to choose them for you primary insurance company. Be sure to see what discounts and specials each insurer may be offering to gather your business. The competition in the insurance field is quite fierce and this can be used to your advantage in getting the best rate on vehicle coverage. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>If you want to find <a target='_blank' href="http://auto.insurancequotes.info">cheap auto insurance quotes</a> now or if are looking for more free information just visit this website, click here: <a target='_blank' href="http://auto.insurancequotes.info">auto insurance quotes online</a> </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-86364497235079440732010-01-19T10:46:00.001-08:002010-01-19T10:46:26.406-08:00Saving Money with Auto Insurance Quotes Online<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By John Bellafonte</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>When shopping for car insurance, one can look high and low to try and find the best deals. By getting your auto insurance quotes online, however, the actual time needed to complete this task will be minimal. The Internet allows for comparison shopping to be done with a multitude of providers all in one place, your home.<br /> <br /> Combining auto insurance and the power of the internet can result in finding a ton of auto insurance quotes online. In order to make sure that you are protected from potential lawsuits filed by other motorists involved in an accident, you must carry liability coverage. Medical expense coverage will pay for hospitalization and treatment no matter who is at fault during an accident.<br /> <br /> Increases in insurance coverage may include things like collision and comprehensive coverage. These are mainly used for newer vehicles where the value of replacing them far outweighs the repair costs should the car be in an accident. Many finance companies require this on vehicles and the auto insurance quotes online will help to save you money when the need arises.<br /> <br /> When requesting auto insurance quotes online, be sure to know what your particular states minimum requirements are for coverage. The last thing you need is to pay for a policy, have an accident and find out that your insurance does not cover everything. While your vehicle may not need full coverage, being underinsured can be just as bad as not having any at all.<br /> <br /> Make sure that the coverage values meet or exceed any possible scenario should the insurance policy need to take effect due to an accident. While many states have their own particular minimum coverage amount, the average is around $12,000.00 for property damage. This amount barely covers many of the vehicles on the road today.<br /> <br /> While many people like the peace of mind in having full coverage on their vehicles, there may come a time when this is just not financially prudent. If the cost of the premium over time outweighs what it would cost to replace the car should an accident occur, then too much money is being spent on car insurance. Take some time to find out exactly what your car is worth and how much insurance coverage is actually needed based on this as one factor.<br /> <br /> There are several ways to find out the actual dollar value of your vehicle. The easiest way to do this is again, found online. By visiting either the Kelley Blue Book or NADA websites and searching for your make and year of car, a value based on mileage and condition can be found. These are the same websites the insurance companies and car dealers use to value vehicles. This too, will greatly aid you in searching for auto insurance quotes online.<br /> <br /> Take some time to research umbrella policies in your quest for auto insurance quotes online. This type of coverage is like "super charged" liability insurance that covers not only vehicle damage but medical bills for injured parties as well. The cost of these is quite reasonable and may be just the fit you are looking for. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Visit <a target='_blank' href="http://auto.insurancequotes.info">auto insurance quotes</a> immediately and find resources for <a target='_blank' href="http://auto.insurancequotes.info">auto insurance quotes online</a>! </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-58158158017084028252010-01-17T13:18:00.001-08:002010-01-17T13:18:46.074-08:00Maintaining Your RC Cars<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Paul Rice</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>When you want to make sure that your RC car stays in good shape, and when you want to get the most use out of it, you'll find that good care can go a long way!<br /> <br /> Whenever you change out the batteries, and before you use it, make sure that you give it a once over. Make sure that the tires are in good shape, and look over the screws to make sure that they are all tightened. Are all the wires connected, and are the battery connections good? Consider whether or not you will have to adjust the shocks for the terrain. Also make sure that the weight is distributed just the way that you want it to be and that the tires that you have chosen are good for the kind of movement you are planning on. A general purpose tire can be good for racing surfaces, but if you want to go off road or onto the pavement, you'll need something heavier. Make sure that you re-glue the tires right away if they get loose.<br /> <br /> Are your motor and slipper gear properly aligned? If they are not, this can cause some nasty wear on your RC car. Check the alignment; the mesh should be neither too loose nor too tight. The gap between them can be measured with the width of a piece of paper, but remember to remove the paper before you put it back together. Are the motor and the slipper gear in tight? If not, consider using some LocTite on the screws before you tighten them down again.<br /> <br /> Know your vehicle?s strengths and use it wisely. A race car will not work well off-road. A carpet car won?t do jumps very well. Obviously, the more you crash the car, the more wear and tear you will cause. If you jump your vehicle, take jumps straight on, not at an angle; and at a steady speed, not under acceleration.<br /> <br /> Give your vehicle frequent breaks to allow electrical components to cool down. If you smell an electrical burning odor, you're putting too much stress on the motor and causing damage. Also, keep your vehicle as dry as possible. Moisture causes damage and corrosion to electrical parts. Discharge batteries completely before recharging them, unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer.<br /> <br /> If your vehicle has a gas engine, follow the manufacturer?s recommendations for maintenance and storage. Usually, you?ll at least need to drain the fuel and clean and oil the filter before storage.<br /> <br /> After you have run your car and before you put it away, use a damp cloth to remove and debris or dirt. Make sure that the batteries are taken out of the car and the controller. Make a note of any broken parts that you need to replace before you can use your car again, and make sure that you get the replacement parts that you are after, as using bad replacements can cause even more damage.<br /> <br /> Remember that cars do have a limited lifespan, and that at some point, they will need to be replaced. Buy a good product at the outset and follow good common sense rules; if you do that, there is a good chance that your RC car will have a long and useful life. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Paul has authored many articles about <a target='_blank' href="http://gas-rc-cars.blogspot.com/2009/01/nitro-gas-rc-cars.html">nikko rc</a> and other brands of <a target='_blank' href="http://gas-rc-cars.blogspot.com/">rc cars</a>.

Just like auto insurance, there are three basic types of coverage when deciding to get a quote. The three are liability, collision and comprehensive. Not only does insuring your motorcycle protect it against damage, it can prevent you from experiencing punitive monetary difficulties if someone else is involved in an accident.<br /> <br /> Buying motorcycle insurance can turn out to be a pleasant experience if done properly. While it is an absolute necessity if you own one, getting the right policy can be as easy as calling your current provider on the phone. Many will offer a discount if you choose them as you already have a motor vehicle policy in existence, making their paperwork that much easier.<br /> <br /> Just because you have your car insurance with one company does not mean that taking a look at other providers is necessarily a bad idea. Checking out the options and plans offered by other companies may turn out to save more money than just adding on to an existing policy. Motorcycle insurance should be chosen for its coverage and not just for its price.<br /> <br /> While many people choose to own a street bike or cruiser, quite a few like the speed and power of a sport bike or racer. The premiums for these will be higher due to the amount of speed they can attain in short distances. You can liken this insurance policy to that of insuring a sports car or street rod.<br /> <br /> An online search will bring a wide range of providers and policies to compare, directly to you, complete with free quotes. This saves all the time on the phone and having to speak to high pressure insurance salesman. It allows for an informed decision to be made while looking over many different policies and companies rather than having to settle for just what is available locally.<br /> <br /> Many state and local laws require no less than liability coverage be carried on any motorcycle. Having a little extra added on to the policy will not hurt though, if it is ever needed to be used. An online search allows for printed copies of quotes to be compared right at home, with no rush on making a decision, allowing you to make the right choice.<br /> <br /> The options that some providers may offer on an insurance policy can include extra passenger insurance, custom equipment and uninsured motorist. Depending on your use, these options should be explored when choosing a policy. This will help to insure complete coverage. Discounted motorcycle insurance can be made even cheaper by taking and passing an approved safety class.<br /> <br /> With the advent of the Internet, shopping for motorcycle insurance has never been easier or less stressful. Finding the right coverage for you and you motorcycle is just a few clicks away and takes no time at all. If you decide to buy the policy online, normally the ability to print out a temporary card is made available, until the regular one arrives by mail. This lets the open road be accessed even more quickly, with no waiting on the postal service. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Visit <a target='_blank' href="http://motorcycle.insurancequotes.info">motorcycle insurance quotes</a> now and find information for <a target='_blank' href="http://motorcycle.insurancequotes.info">motorcycle insurance</a>! </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-39515225169085194462010-01-12T15:24:00.001-08:002010-01-12T15:24:41.283-08:00Find a Lower Premium with a Car Insurance Quote<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By John Bellafonte</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>"Dad, can I borrow the car?" These words can strike fear in to the heart of the most stalwart of parents. A new driver in the family means one thing and one thing only, that more insurance will be needed on the family car. A car insurance quote from your current insurance provider and one or two others may help to relieve this burden a bit by doing a little comparison shopping.<br /> <br /> While they may start out higher, there are ways to lower the cost even before that first solo road trip. There are a few insurance companies that offer discounts on coverage to students with a good grade point average or ones that may have completed a driver's education class in school. A car insurance quote will let you know if this is offered by a particular company and what the rate will be both with and without this discount.<br /> <br /> New drivers come with a plethora of issues. Most new drivers are just getting used to being behind the wheel and do not have the confidence that seasoned drivers have. The main areas where the fist time driver is going to do most of his or her driving can also make a difference in the car insurance quote.<br /> <br /> Those who reside in large cities and high-traffic areas are going to pay a higher premium. Since there is more traffic, there is a higher chance that the new driver will not know how to handle these conditions. New drivers don't often have the experience to negotiate challenging traffic situations.<br /> <br /> While country living is preferred by many people, the insurance companies are no different. With virtually empty roads, the odds of an accident occurring with another vehicle are greatly reduced. This allows the insurance company much more leeway when offering a lower car insurance quote.<br /> <br /> Just because a driver is new, does not mean that he or she is a teenager. These quotes will differ in price if the newly licensed driver is in their mid twenties instead of being a teenager. The reason behind this is that there is a more developed maturity level at that age than in the teens so the driver may be considered slightly lower risk.<br /> <br /> There are so many variables when it comes to insuring first time drivers so it is easy to understand why a quote is so important before purchasing a policy. Make sure you inform the agent of all information before the quote is written up. This way, you're sure to get the best policy for your first time drivers needs.<br /> <br /> Once you get your car insurance quote for the first time driver, read through it carefully. Always look at all the fine print and make sure you understand the verbiage. If you have any questions, ask them as soon as possible to be certain to get the policy that will provide the appropriate amount of coverage for the best price possible. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Catch a <a target='_blank' href="http://car.insurancequotes.info">car insurance quote</a> today and find resources for <a target='_blank' href="http://car.insurancequotes.info">car insurance</a>! </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-87179689985143169642010-01-09T11:26:00.000-08:002010-01-09T12:20:57.526-08:00Things To Consider When Buying A Remote Control Car<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Paul Richardsen</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Remote control cars are a lot of fun. There are always new challenges to figure out and new obstacles to conquer with a remote control car but there are also guidelines to follow when you are considering the purchase of a remote control car. You can use these simple rules as questions you should ask yourself prior to purchasing your remote control car to make sure you get the most out of your vehicle.<br /> <br /> First, consider whether you are looking for speed or durability. If you are looking for the speed, you'll find that you are looking at racing, while with durability, you are going to be much better suited for going off road. You'll find that choosing the right car is going to determine whether or not you are going to be able to do the activities that you are looking for. You will also find that where you want to put your car with regards to the environment that you are going to be running in will inform your decision as well.<br /> <br /> You'll find that there is quite a range when you are looking to see how far away from you your car an operate. For instance, when you are looking for a car that will race over courses and other types of indoor environments, you'll find that you will need a greater range than if you are simply following it around as you control it, which is more common when you are working with off road exercises.<br /> <br /> There have been many leaps in technology made over the last few years, and the field of remote control cars are no exception. You'll find that whether you want your car to act as a motor boat, climb a steep cliff or even turn into another vehicle, you can find a car out there for you. The flipside of all of this variety, however, is the fact that you are dealing with so much choice that it can be hard to pick. How important is it to you to have a car that turns into another car? Make a list of your priorities and make sure that you know what you need and what you don't!<br /> <br /> Some remote control cars run on their own rechargeable battery power and others require separate batteries purchased from a third party source. It is sometimes beneficial to have a remote control car that you can charge from a wall outlet, or a power outlet in your regular car or truck, and then get it back on the road again. However, some people prefer to exchange batteries when the old ones are depleted. Decide what your preference is prior to purchasing your remote control car.<br /> <br /> When you are looking at remote control cars, you'll find that there is a lot of variety out there, and that it is up to you to figure out the car that is best going to suit you. Make sure that you know what you are interested in and what kind of priority that you place on different features; otherwise, it is going to be far too easy to get swept away through it all. Are you looking for something that will last you for ages, or do you want something that is a bit more disposable? In any case, this is an important thing to think about.<br /> <br /> What about running your car in the dark. Remember that if you are going to be doing a lot of driving in the dark that you are going to need some lighting that will allow you to see the car in question. You'll find that getting a car that is going to meet your needs for running in the dark is impressively easy, as long as you remember that this is something that you need!<br /> <br /> Remote control cars can be a great way to escape from your every day life.

First, it covers the driver and the vehicle against damages in case of an accident and secondly, it helps to protect against drivers who do not have any insurance on their vehicles. The amount of coverage that a person selects is based mainly on the value of the vehicle itself.<br /> <br /> The three basic types of insurance coverage available are liability, collision and comprehensive. Collision insurance provides coverage for damages to the vehicle itself along with bodily injuries sustained in an accident. Accident reports give the insurance company all the necessary details of the accident.<br /> <br /> When one of the drivers involved in an accident does not have coverage, the costs of damages must be recovered from other sources. Depending on the state, there may be a fund available to help absorb some of these costs. With the proper insurance coverage in place, the insured drivers provider may also help to cover some, if not all of the costs.<br /> <br /> The costs for accidents such as these are normally covered by the insured drivers' provider in the form of increased premiums. While this may seem a bit unfair, in the end, the insurance companies are there to make money as well as provide an invaluable service. The responsible driver ends up being the one to pay the bill by the addition of surcharges and slightly higher rates.<br /> <br /> The increased premiums allow for the insurance companies to regain some of their losses when an accident occurs involving an uninsured motorist. This also will alleviate some of the cost if the incident involves an underinsured motorist as well. An underinsured motorist may be covered, but not up to the amount of actual damage if the accident was a severe one.<br /> <br /> Research studies show that one in six drivers operate a motor vehicle without insurance. This in turns causes the auto insurance companies to have to raise their rates to cover costs. This then puts the extra cost directly on the shoulders of the responsible vehicle owners who make sure that they have insurance on each of their vehicles.<br /> <br /> Now you can purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to protect against uninsured drivers. Your premiums may increase slightly, but you will have the peace of mind that accompanies knowing you are covered if you run into an uninsured driver. It's a worthwhile consideration to make. Today, insurance companies don't have the ability to raise rates just to make a higher profit. They have to stay competitive in order to remain in business. The competition is fierce since so many companies advertise and due business online.<br /> <br /> With the advent of the Internet bringing more and more providers to the general public, the competition between auto insurance companies has escalated greatly. Their rates must be kept competitive in order to not only garner more business, but still be able to cover their costs. With the inability to raise rates just to increase profits, the consumer is the one who benefits in the end with this type of competition. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'><b>Want more free Information? </b> Catch <a target='_blank' href="http://auto.insurancequotes.info">auto insurance quotes</a> directly and find information for <a target='_blank' href="http://auto.insurancequotes.info">auto insurance</a>! </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-71601809614029749402009-12-09T02:51:00.000-08:002009-12-09T03:43:37.820-08:00Ever Wanted To Fly An RC Plane?<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Michael Murray</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Radio control is a fast growing hobby. Flying rc airplanes and rc helis has become a very popular pastime, and increasingly more hobbyists are discovering the hobby all around the world.<br /> <br /> The letters RC stand for radio control, and refer to anything that is controlled by radio waves that are sent out from a transmitter to a receiver located inside the model plane, boat, car, etc..<br /> <br /> Sometimes you'll see rc referred to as "remote control" but this is technically incorrect. Radio control is the correct term.<br /> <br /> Many rc planes andrc helis can now be bought as RTF models, which stands for Ready To Fly.<br /> <br /> Ready To Fly is exactly what it is; the model is assembled at the factory, the rc gear and motor have been installed and set up and there is nothing for you, the consumer, to do other than install the radio control gear batteries, do some very basic final assembly work, such as attaching the wing to the fuselage, and take off!<br /> <br /> RTF airplanes and RTF helicopters can be powered by either electric or gas motors.<br /> <br /> Gas motors are often referred to as 'nitro' or 'gas' because the fuel that a glow plug motor runs on contains nitro methane. This is the same type of fuel that full sized dragsters use to reach very high speeds.<br /> <br /> Nitro planes are more parts intensive than electric airplanes, simply because of the motor and the fuel tank. Also, nitro planes are generally bigger and have a steeper learning curve. Beginners should start with RTF electric airplanes and work up as their skills increase.<br /> <br /> Electric motor rc airplanes are far more common for people entering the hobby, simply because they are clean, quiet and simple to operate.<br /> <br /> The very popular "Park Flyer" style electric motor rc airplanes are bringing thousands of new rc pilots into the hobby for these reasons. Also, they are cheap to buy; a simple 1 or 2 channel RTF model can be bought for well under $100!<br /> <br /> They are known as "Park Flyers" because they can be flown in any good-size open area. Public parks, sports fields or empty parking lots can all be used as flying space, provided that flying rc planes there is allowed, which is a very important thing to know before you fly your model!<br /> <br /> The preferred type of rc airplane to buy if you're first starting out is a high wing trainer type. RC Airplanes with the wing on top of the fuselage are much more stable than RC Planes with the wing below.<br /> <br /> One very important point to look for is the amount of "dihedral" the rc model has. Dihedral is the upward angle of the wings when looking at the model from the front. The more dihedral an rc plane has, the more stable it will be in the air, and hence easier to fly.<br /> <br /> The big difference between nitro and electric rc planes is where you can fly them. Electric rc planes can be flown in public places, but nitro airplanes can only be flown at a model flying club, or on private land with the owner's permission. This is because they are bigger, noisier and faster than their electric cousins. These factors are what makes nitro rc airplanes harder to learn to fly, although more rewarding.<br /> <br /> If you want to get into the hobby of radio control flying, locate and join your local model flying club. It is the best thing that you can do as a first step toward your new pastime.<br /> <br /> Electric rc helicopters have really altered the hobby, because they have become so much cheaper to buy than they ever have been, and many are now designed for the complete beginner, which was unheard of just a few years back!<br /> <br /> So even if you've never held a rc heli before, you can very quickly be mastering the controls of an electric model rc helicopter without too much trouble.<br /> <br /> There are hundreds of models to choose from these days (rc airplanes and rc helicopters), but always be sure of what you're buying first. Check out reviews if you can find some, and be certain that the model is suitable for a beginner.<br /> <br /> The really good thing is that with the models that are sold today, getting into the hobby of radio control flying has never been easier or cheaper! - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Before you make a mistake and buy the wrong radio control airplanes, make sure you check out Michael Murray's <a target='_blank' href="http://www.rchobbyshopping.com/blog">blog articles</a> and <a target='_blank' href="http://www.rchobbyshopping.com">airplanes</a>.

However, if you don't know what your options are, you might end up spending a lot more than you need to on the tires for your car.<br /> <br /> No matter your type of vehicle, be it car or truck, car tires can be affordable. You might find a wide variety of car tire prices, but keep in mind that you can still save money on quality tires.<br /> <br /> The following outlines some ways you can get the most out of your money when getting car tires.<br /> <br /> Change All Four Tires - When you require new tires, replace them all at once. In general, you can obtain the best deal by purchasing a full set and retailers will frequently offer specials such as buy three, get one free. Further, if you will change all your tires at one time, you can be certain of their wearing evenly.<br /> <br /> Shop Online, Use Coupons - I prefer to shop on the Internet for almost everything, to include car tires. Now, I do not actually purchase the car tires on the web, but I do my comparison shopping over the Internet to find the most reasonable local pricing. You will find that identical tires will have extremely different prices from store to store.<br /> <br /> Go for High Mileage: Any car you'll be keeping for the long haul needs tires with a warranty well in excess of 40,000 miles. You should really be looking for tires that are guaranteed for 60,000 to even 80,000 miles. The extra expense for high-mileage tires won't amount to an excessive amount, and you'll save in the long run.<br /> <br /> Do Additional Car Maintenance - go ahead and have your car looked over completely as you get your tires replaced, so that you can as much done as possible. Don't pay extra for labor on separate trips, when you can get it all done in one single visit to the shop.<br /> <br /> Also, find the right tires that fit your particular model of car. Your owner's manual can help you out with this, as can the information inside your driver's side door, so you'll know which ones to get. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Melvin has written many other articles on cars and wheels, check out his sites: <a target='_blank' href="http://discounttireslocations.org">discount tires locations</a> or <a target='_blank' href="http://bfgtires.org">cheapest tires</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-4260897044995720852009-12-08T19:55:00.000-08:002009-12-08T20:04:25.732-08:00If You Need Cheap Tires Make Sure You Read Up On This<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Kyle Loroft</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Drivers know that it is important to buy a good tire in order to drive safely. However, some people think that high quality tires are very expensive.<br /> <br /> Although that may have some basis in fact, it is not always true. Today, the choice of tires is seemingly endless and cheap tires have established a niche market to assist those who have budgets that are strained.<br /> <br /> To get the optimal deal by buying cheap tires, be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for size and rating; this is true whenever you purchase tires. If you fail to do so, you might purchase the wrong tire and end up with unmatched spare parts.<br /> <br /> You must be very specific in following the tire specifications, even if you are just on the lookout for cheap tires. Do not forget, a good, cheap tire is inexpensive, but it does not necessarily scrimp when it comes to a standard of quality performance.<br /> <br /> Next, locate a reputable retailer, especially if you are dealing on the internet. Ask the retailer about the tire's warranty, mileage warranty, and the total cost to you with the tire being delivered. If you can, seek out retailers who provide installation services so that you will not need to find someone else to mount the tire for you. However, if you are able, you will save money by installing it yourself. Further, when making your purchase online, beware of suspicious websites and scams.<br /> <br /> Always look for cheap tires from trustworthy manufacturers. Then you can be sure to get a quality product for a great price. You can also visit offline stores to find discounted tires. By doing this, you might be able to get an excellent tire for as little as half of the original price. Just be certain that these reduced price tires are in good condition so that you still get a good value.<br /> <br /> Finding the best deal in a cheap tire purchase simply involves making use of your common sense. But even when you are buying for less, it remains mandatory that you get a good quality tire so that you do not rapidly get right back in the same situation. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Now in addition to writing about fitness, Brett has also written on trucks and motorbikes, check out his sites: <a target='_blank' href="http://dunlopmotorcycletires.org">Dunlop motorcycle tires</a> and <a target='_blank' href="http://truckmudtires.net">truck mud tires</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-82239231490655406632009-12-04T15:14:00.000-08:002009-12-06T11:24:00.262-08:00ATV Safety Tips For Youngsters<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Barbara Joseph</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>ATV's were made to be used in agriculture, for hauling tools and traveling all over farm property.

Pace yourself and run slowly the first piece of the run. Practicing running faster about twice a week will help you to increase your speed safely. By varying your speed, you will increase stamina and your ability to run a faster longer distance without feeling like you are going to die.<br /> <br /> If you are feeling sluggish one day, instead of not running at all, try running at a slow pace. This would give your body a rest and let it recoup and get ready for the next training day.<br /> <br /> Be aware that when running a long distance, that dehydration can be a real threat. It is important even thought you may not be thirsty, to drink water. Keeping hydrated is very important. Water is one of the primary keys to keep in mind when running. It takes your body about two days to recoup from a long distance run. When practicing for these races, it is important to rest in between workouts.<br /> <br /> The day before your long distance race, it is important to rest. A light jog and stretching is a good idea to keep your muscles loose, but don't over do it. At the beginning of running season, it is wise to start out jogging long slow distance. This will increase stamina of the distance that you are able to run. Then, after accomplishing this, work on speed. Keep in shape for running season by running up and down hills or bleachers. This keeps your legs in shape and ready for running season.<br /> <br /> This would make you stronger, more fit and ready for running season to begin. It is important to condition yourself before races. If you don't, you can potentially injure yourself. Running long distance can become boring. So mix it up! Every other day run a different pace, a different path, or even get a running partner. These are great ways to differ your routine.<br /> <br /> Taking a few months off of running during the off season is a good thing. During this time, don't stress out over times and distance. Just relax and go for a leisurely jog. This would definitely help you come strong in the new season. In the off season keep a watch over your eating habits and don't ruin what you have worked so hard for all year. However, a little indulgence every now and then is acceptable! - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>To learn more about weight loss besides long distance running, make sure to visit <a target='_blank' href="http://tinyurl.com/yzgop6u">acai berry detox</a>, or <a target='_blank' href="http://tinyurl.com/yzgop6u">acai berry </a> for a easy, easy, and healthy way to diet and stay fit! </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-10237872215778110812009-11-23T05:14:00.000-08:002009-11-23T05:17:09.142-08:00A Little Bit Of Info On Discount Tires<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Kyle Loroft</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>With the costs of car maintenance and accessories constantly increasing, it is not a shock to discover lots of people today seeking discount tires.

You can injure yourself by running outside of you comfort zone. Instead, pace yourself and run slowly the first piece of the run. Practice running faster every other day. This will give you a day to recover from your fast paced run. By varying your speed, you will build stamina and condition yourself slowly to run a faster, longer distance.<br /> <br /> If you are feeling sluggish one day, instead of not running at all, try running at a slow pace. This would give your body a rest and let it recoup and get ready for the next training day.<br /> <br /> Dehydration is a great threat when running. Even if you are not thirsty it is important to drink a little water to keep hydrated. Water is the one of the primary keys of running. Water keeps your body working efficiently. If you are practicing for a long race, remember, it takes your body approximately two days to recover from that long of a distance. So, when practicing, it is important to rest between workouts.<br /> <br /> The day before your big race, it is important to rest. Some stretching or a light short jog is acceptable, but don't over do it. At the beginning of running season, it is wise to start out jogging long slow distance. This will increase stamina of the distance that you are able to run. Then, after accomplishing this, work on speed. This would keep you tough for the entire season. Running up and down hills or bleachers is a great way to build those leg and calf muscles.<br /> <br /> This would make you stronger, improve the running economy and make you ready for quality workouts and races in the later season. It is important to practice conditioning before running long distance races. If you don't, you can potentially injure yourself. Running long distance can become boring. So mix it up! Every other day run a different pace, a different path, or even get a running partner. These are great ways to mix it up!<br /> <br /> Taking a few months off of running during the off season is a good thing. During this time instead of stressing out over times and distance, relax and go for a leisurely jog. This would definitely help you come strong in the new season. In the off season keep a watch over your eating habits and don't ruin what you have worked so hard for all year. However, a little indulgence every now and then is acceptable! - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>To discover more about weight loss besides running, make sure to visit <a target='_blank' href="http://tinyurl.com/yzgop6u">acai berry detox</a>, or <a target='_blank' href="http://tinyurl.com/yzgop6u">acai berry </a> for a safe, natural, and healthy way to diet and stay fit! </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-79398865692085052462009-11-10T16:53:00.000-08:002009-11-10T18:08:39.607-08:00Buying Discount Tires - Some Tips For Getting Them Cheap<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By John Dilantros</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Nowadays, just about everything can be purchased on the internet with a simple click of the mouse so it is no surprise that discount tires can be found just about everywhere throughout the virtual world.

However, you simply cannot purchase any tires for a discount. You need to think over several things first.<br /> <br /> Think About Tire Safety.<br /> <br /> Discount tires are not synonymous with worn-out tires. When you purchase tires at a discount, you should expect a dependable, well made tire. In your search for the best deal on discount tires, check for tire made by well known manufactures.<br /> <br /> Of course, you need to know where to get them, right?<br /> <br /> Discounted tires can be found practically anywhere. Tire sellers or dealers might promote their discounted merchandise by offering discount coupons to select customers or by simply posting adverts. The following are some good shopping centers that have an excellent selection of discount tires.<br /> <br /> Neighborhood outlets in and around your home. Seasonal discounts may be provided for tires at these outlets. It will be very advantageous if you watch carefully for sales to be advertised.<br /> <br /> Some retail stores or smaller independent dealers may have discount tires that they will run ads on in the paper or at an auction site. The downside is that these types of places can often be a bit risky. If the retailer or person selling the tires isn't well known, you take a chance at dealing with a possible scam artist who will more than likely give you a shady deal. Auctions are great places to get discount tires, but you may want to educate yourself and gain some experience before shopping there.<br /> <br /> Internet Stores are a Wise Choice, Here's Why:<br /> <br /> Shopping online is far more simpler. All you are required to do is offer some details on your tire preferences, and the tire will be sent right to your home. All that you are required to do in this process is take a seat at your computer.<br /> <br /> Stores that have been open for a longer period of time will yield both a reputation to back them up as well as corroborate them. You will never have to worry about any scams if you do business with a reputable store. There is even a possibility that you might receive some kind of guarantee or quality warranty with your purchase.<br /> <br /> Finally, a reputable store will not only deliver the tire for your convenience, but should also be able to help you out with directions on installing your tire or the name of a good place to have it installed. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Now if you want to learn more about car tires, go check out <a target='_blank' href="http://www.discounttirewarehouse.org/American-Discount-Tire.html">American Discount Tire</a> or <a target='_blank' href="http://www.discounttirewarehouse.org/Discount-Auto-Tire.html">discount auto tire</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-48304000528618028442009-11-05T15:39:00.000-08:002009-11-06T00:17:14.797-08:00Need New Truck Tires? Read This<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By John Dilantros</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>When you consider tires for your truck, it's important to remember that your wheels are about more than just looking good and a stylish appearance. You should carefully contemplate the type of tires that you purchase for your truck as your wheels have great bearing on the performance of the vehicle.<br /> <br /> The wheels that you select will be adding to the value, performance, and overall power of your truck, as well as helping your truck turn a few heads. Off road trucks rely heavily on the proper tires, so this decision is equally as vital as the type of truck, itself, that you choose.<br /> <br /> You need to keep a few factors in mind when you shop for tires. The first thing you have to decide as you begin your research is how big a role the tires will play for your truck. For example, the version of truck tires you get can greatly impact the vehicle's braking, handling, ride quality, safety, and traction. Your truck's tires are as important as all of the other parts of your vehicle, and you should never take them for granted.<br /> <br /> You will want to ensure the best possible performance from your new tires, so proper maintenance should be performed for the continued safety, as well as appearance, of your truck's tires. Safety should be your number one concern, and your tires play a major role as they work in unison with your brake and suspension systems, connect to your axle, and are responsible for the overall stability of your truck.<br /> <br /> Faulty tires can create damage for other parts of your truck, so guard against problems by purchasing the proper tires for your vehicle and keeping them maintained for as long as you own them.<br /> <br /> Style and appearance are often the first thing a buyer considers when they shop for new tires, but you must not forget about performance and safety. For that reason, you should read either online or offline reviews of truck tires before you buy them.<br /> <br /> Arming yourself with information will allow you to make a tire purchase that you can be confident, is the best selection for your truck. - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Now if you're looking for more info on truck tires, be sure to check out <a target='_blank' href="http://4x4trucktires.net/Cheap-Off-Road-Tires.html">cheap off road tires</a> or <a target='_blank' href="http://4x4trucktires.net/Goodyear-Truck-Tires.html">Goodyear truck tires</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294010552117353538.post-1435453459650602142009-11-02T16:57:00.000-08:002009-11-03T09:38:39.899-08:00If You're On The Market For Cheap Tires, Check This Out<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By John Dilantros</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>As everyone knows, it is essential to purchase a quality tire if you want to be able to drive safely.

You do not have to sacrifice one for the other.<br /> <br /> The next thing you want to be sure of is that you are dealing with a quality retailer, especially if shopping online.

This way, you don't have to go through the hassle of finding someone to install the tires for you. You will save a ton of money if you know how to properly install them for yourself.

Headliner falling down.<br /> <br /> Driver seat a little twisted and ripped.<br /> <br /> Engine valve noise, probably from driving 388,000 KMs.<br /> <br /> Fenders and rear quarters rusted as well as other rust spots and peeling paint.<br /> <br /> Speakers blown, but still work OK.<br /> <br /> Valve cover leak and minor power steering hose leak.<br /> <br /> General comments? Bought the truck for $500 and drove it 143 KMs home, and was surprised at how well it was running, and how well it rode for being a rusted cheap Bronco II.<br /> <br /> The body is ugly brown on tan with a shade of rust, but still solid.

While the Mondeo was previously a true world car, being sold around the globe, the full size family car hasn't been sold in America for almost a decade. Aside from missing out on the attractive styling of the fourth generation Mondeo, we are also missing out on Ford U.K.'s latest economical offer. The Ford Mondeo Titanium ECOnetic is a next generation turbo diesel powered family sedan that offers outstanding fuel mileage at a very affordable price, not to mention a few stylish options.<br /> <br /> The ECOnetic part of the Mondeo's nameplate comes from the car's 2.0 Liter TDCi power plant that produces a maximum output of 115 HP that with the help of an optimal gear indicator helps the turbo diesel Mondeo to get an estimated average of 54.3 MPG. These numbers alone would be impressive for any vehicle, but when you consider that the new Mondeo ECOnetic is available with a set of stylish lightweight 16 or 17 inch rims, a lowered suspension as well as an optimized aero package complete with air deflectors and a rear spoiler all aimed at reducing fuel mileage robbing parasitic loss from heavy spinning items and aerodynamic drag that acts like a parachute pulling the car back from its intended direction of travel. In addition to all the items that make the ECOnetic Mondeo so great, the price trumps tem all; starting at only 23,295 for the space saving five door model and 24,545 for the estate.<br /> <br /> Ford is introducing a new high series addition to its Mondeo line-up powered by ECOnetic technologies - the Mondeo Titanium 2.0 115PS TDCi with 139g/km CO2 emissions.<br /> <br /> Targeting company car users increasingly conscious of company car tax costs while not compromising vehicle specification, the model is offered in five-door hatchback or estate form. Both deliver CO2 emissions of 139g/km and a combined fuel economy of figure of 54.3mpg.<br /> <br /> While benefitting from Ford ECOnetic environmental features, this new model is otherwise identical to the standard Titanium series. The following features are added to help reduce CO2 emissions and improve fuel economy:<br /> <br /> 16in Y-Spoke lightweight alloy wheels (standard) 17in Y-spoke alloys (option) An optimum gear change indicator Aerodynamically optimised sports suspension and air deflectors Rear spoiler (five-door only) - 30406</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Check Cristian Truers's <a target='_blank' href='http://cariro.com'>new auto cars</a> buying guide for more information, or visit his good <a target='_blank' href='http://cariro.com'>auto cars</a> tips. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14855785523899272443noreply@blogger.com0
