Donating your Car
September 30th, 2010 | 
Author: A few weeks ago, I wrote about a website that I found where people can post their wishes in the hopes that someone who gets to read it will generously fulfill their wish (Tree of Wishes). Following that line of thought, this time I want to blog about a site where you can donate car to charity: The Vietnam Veterans Car Donation Program website, managed by the Illinois State Council.
If you live in the USA, you know that having a car is a necessity for most people. And, if you have an old car that you are thinking of disposing or selling, you might want to consider donating it to charity to benefit the United States Veterans. It’s a very worthy cause. I know I would donate my car if I was in the US and had an old car. Instead of just throwing it away, I hope you’d consider joining others who made their own car donations already. They also accept trucks, boats, motorcycles, vans, trailers or even RVs. They accept even non-running or wrecked cars. You can find more information on their website and the form you need to fill up right there.
If you have the means to do so, join the car donations in illinois initiative. You will be doing a good deed for the veterans who have fought and sacrificed their lives for the country. Yes, just by donating a car. So how does this one work? The VietnamVeteransCarDonation.com is accepting your car donation from kindhearted individuals who have a spare car at home. The cars will be sold by the organization and the proceeds will be used to fund the needs of the veterans. We all know there are some veterans living in not so good conditions. They are the ones who need our help.
Are you interested in helping? Go to the site now. At the homepage, you will find out the initiative’s goals and how to donate your car. Just fill out the online form, schedule a pick up date, and then get the receipt that you can use in order to get a tax deduction. It’s that easy! The pick up date can be any time that is convenient for you. There’s a free towing service available to pick up your car, so you don’t have to worry about that either. Helping the vets is really simple, and it can mean a big help to them.

Myanmar/Burma – Plans to expand its mobile network, from its existing estimated 500,000 users
The secretive country is estimated to have around 500,000 GSM subscribers along with 700,000 CDMA users.
At present, GSM mobile phones can be used in 80 towns in the country. The CDMA network is understood to have been recently upgraded to cover the entire of Yangon and Mandalay after initially covering just the main business and government facilities. Mobile phone ownership in Myanmar is heavily restricted and usually only available to the government/military or well connected businessmen.
A WCDMA network was launched last year, with very limited availability.
Ferrari, the greenest car maker on earth?
Aston Martin sources engine, body and electrical parts from outside the main plant at Gaydon, as does Jaguar. Even Morgan, that most bespoke of car companies, sources one or two components externally, including quite a few trees.
Ferrari 599XX video, pictures and first drive review
At Ferrari, though, everything except the cows that provide the leather is now made at Maranello. Since November, in fact, they’ve even been generating their own electricity in order to power the Scuderia’s various tooling facilities – to the extent that in January Ferrari sold power back to Italy’s National Grid.
As a result, Ferrari now claims that its plant at Maranello produces between 25-30 per cent less CO2 than it did before its new “Trigeneration” system fired up in November – in which mechanical power, heat and cooling are produced by just one source. And that’s real world emissions, by the way, not ones that appear in EU approved documents, and which mean not a great deal in the overall scheme.
Imagine how much less angst would be displayed towards the car industry in general if all cars were created in the same way, with the same efficiency? The green meanies would hardly have a leg to stand on, and us car enthusiasts could carry on enjoying our cars (virtually) guilt free. Even ones like the utterly barking 599XX, on whose launch I discovered all of the above.
First impressions – on board the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid
With performance – both off the line and through the gears – on par with the 400bhp naturally-aspirated 4.8-litre V8 Cayenne S, the new four wheel drive displays exceptional levels of mechanical refinement without any indication of the complex processes taken by its advanced driveline, which was developed in a joint venture between Porsche’s own Weissach based engineers and their counterparts at Volkswagen’s engineering centre in Braunschweig, Germany.
Porsche Cayenne Hybrid – full details
Step off is typical strong, with the electric motor and its 184lb ft of torque providing primary propulsion from standstill up to speeds of 50km/h or until the energy level of the battery runs low.
The only indication of the introduction of the petrol engine – the same unit used by Audi in the S4 – to the drive process from the passenger seat is when the needle on the rev counter – now placed in the centre of the instrument binnacle as with Porsche’s more sporting models – springs to life.
At loads under 2500rpm, the supercharged 3.0-litre V6 is so well isolated from the cabin its operation is barely audible. Under greater throttle load there is a low level growl as acceleration builds but it is never over bearing.
Out on the motorway the over riding impression is of wind noise around the large exterior mirrors. The decoupling of the clutch at speed occurs seamlessly when the driver backs off from the throttle, allowing the Cayenne S Hybrid to coast at zero revs in a state not dissimilar to a bicycle when it is freewheeling with the engine fully disengaged.
Further to the mechanical aspects of the new Porsche, there has been a wholesale improvement in interior ambiance. The new dashboard, similar in style to that gracing the Panamera, is of a much higher quality than that of the first generation Cayenne.
The question that now remains is: how much will Porsche charge for it?
