Chuck and I got involved in our first car club when we lived in Rochester and had our Corvette. We had a blast. Met a great bunch of people, did a ton of events. In fact I can still remember our first event. It was a car rally and Chuck and I got the second place trophy.
However, like any group, we had cliques. Now, don?t get mad at me for the monikers that are coming. They have been around a long time and I didn?t make them up.
All of the following groups love their cars, just each in a different way. First there are the polishers. Their cars are pristine. They will use toothbrushes to get their batteries cleaned. I mean you could eat a meal off their engines. You won?t find a spec of dust on the outside, inside of their cars, and inside includes the engine and trunk.
The racers, believe in a clean and polished car, however, their main concern is POWER. They want to get the most they can from their engines. It is all about having the fastest car!
Funny aside, when Chuck and I went to the NCCC convention they were giving away a LT1 engine and when the polisher at our table won it, you had to hear the racers. We wished him the best, but told him we were jealous, and we were. Would have loved to put that baby in our Corvette.
Then we have the groups who believe street rods, hot rods, muscle cars, or antiques are the way to go. There are also those who believe in all original, no changes. However, you also have another group that doesn?t worry about it, as long as the car is what they want.
We love a nice clean and polished car, while we would like matching numbers and all original, if an aftermarket part is warranted we will use it. To Chuck and I it is about having fun with the car. We want to drive it, not trailer it. However, we always have believed in the motto ?to each his own? and respect other people?s opinions.
One thing we all have in common, is the love of cars and that is all that is important.
So what group do you fall in? Drop us a line and let us know.

How to Earn Dollars on your Free Website
How to Earn Dollars on your Free Website
by: Romeo Palmares
Before I became a dot com I used to invest my time on free websites and studied everything needed to make it work and as much as possible make it earn at the cost of only my time and effort.
After several months of promoting my free website I was surprised to see the flow of free traffic rushing in, but there is always a downside to free website - bandwidth. My free webhosting gave me about 2 gigabytes of bandwidth every month which cannot compensate to the flow of my traffic.
My free website shuts off for atleast 30 minutes everytime it reaches its bandwidth limit which was divided every hour. Well anyway I was thinking at that time what to do with my traffic and how can I convert this traffic into cash. I researched everyday until I caught google's cash making machine - the adsense.
At the expense of my time and effort I had made some cash in return. Needless to say that...
