There is a solution to Higher Gas Prices!

And i do not mean, stop driving!
I truly never imagined paying over $4.00 for a gallon of fuel, except maybe for my airplane.

I have been looking at various ways of saving a few dollars at the pump. And I have come across something that makes total sense. It works too!

I am talking about running your car on water. Wait, I have seen engines seize because they have gotten water in them. Yes break and seize because water does not compress like fuel vapor does. Therefore when you get a bit of water in the cylinder chamber and try to compress it, it does not and the cylinder wall or the piston and rod end up bending. This is why we do not drive through rivers without an snorkel set up.

Back to water burning cars. They are not actually burning water, the water is being converted prior to its introduction into the combustion chamber to hydrogen and oxygen, its two basic components.

Here are some videos for you to watch to see what i am talking about. After you watch the videos, click on this link, or the link below to find out how you too can have this system in your car and START SAVING MONEY.

Start Saving Money Now! Don’t wait for Gas to go up even more, Beat them at their own game. Order this system now! Click Here to learn more and order your information today.

A Good Rally Computer Can Help With The Zeros.

no comment Posted by David

I started to rally in 1992. It is at that time in which I bought a rally computer. I purchased an Alpa-Elite Rally computer from a company called Small System Specialists. Their website can be found at http://www.rally.cc.

This morning, I ordered the new upgraded version of my rally computer. I can not wait to get it. Mind you , my original computer still works, and works well. Many a zeros have been calculated with this computer. It is very accurate and simple to use. And after 16 years of my driving, very sturdy too.

What is great about these computers is the versatility. I compete, write, and work in two different types of rallies. TSD (Time Speed Distance) and modified version of Monte Carlo Style Rallies. The Alpha was mainly designed for TSD rally competition. It is also great for when I am writing a rally (either TSD or Monte), for I can set the calculated  time to zero and put in the speed in which I want to calculate the leg at the start, and as I drive it accurately measures the speed and distance traveled and calculates a leg time for me. And last but not least, with the countdown feature, crossing the hose with a zero on a Monte is no problem.

Now, you are going to spend a few dollars for this computer, but at $669.00 for the complete unit including a drivers display. it is priced at about half of the competitors unit with the same functions.

If you enjoy rallying, and are serious, or want to get serious about it, then in my humble opinion this is your answer.
