  • Gas, Air, and Spark - How Internet Marketing is Like a Car's Engine
    Copyright 2005 Mike Adams

    I've never been much of an automobile mechanic, but about 25 years ago an old friend instructed me in the mysteries of how to find out why my old car wouldn't run.

    "You see," he said, "when an engine won't run, it's got to be one of three things. It's not getting enough gas, air, or spark, because that's all an engine really needs."

    He taught me to check simple things, like pull a spark plug and see if it sparks when the starter turns over. Or pull ...

    The Sierra hybrid uses electric power even less frequently. Its gasoline engine can shut down when the car is stopped (actually, when it's braking to a stop, below 13 mph or so) and-that's it. The batteries (three 14-volt units plus the standard 12-volt) cannot power th ...

    An accident involving a heavy truck, 18-wheeler, semi, big tractor-trailer truck, often results in death or serious injury. The statistics are shocking.

    Vehicle repossession may appear justified in circumstances where a person is generally being irresponsible and otherwise able to meet this financial obligation. However, what about that hardworking guy or gal who paid their automobile note dutifully for three years, and missed one payment? Why should their car be repossessed?

    Hubcaps are used to cover the lug nuts holding the 'hub' of the wheel on the axle. Those hubcaps are usually bolted on and smaller than 6" in diameter. Later designs that covered the completely metal wheel are called "wheel covers." The terms are now interchangeable. In today’s usage, hubcap can be used as a more generic term covering everything from center caps (covering only the lug nuts) to wheel covers that hide the whole wheel rim.

    Parts Train's Hubcaps are either made of plastic or ...
