A lot of people have asked why I don't have any advertising.
Two reasons,
1) I don't like car insurance
2) I'm not selling out my clean and straightforward blog for less than an annual income I can live off of
I was just informed by some Image Space Media - "Image Space Media, the nation's leading In-Image ad network." - that they can make me alot of money. - "Now serving display banner + rich media ads Ads served through our partnership with AOL + ISM's direct advertisers = bigger payouts!"
Any guesses how much they figure my blog of about 500,000 annual page views will make me in a year?
one penny per thousand hits. Thirty bucks a year. THAT is not worth all the clutter of stupid ads no one is interested in looking at

Older cars tend to be popular targets. In addition to supplying in-demand parts, these older cars are:
•Easier to steal. Car manufacturers in recent years have added many theft deterrents that older models don't have.
•Not as likely to have after-market security devices, such as warning, tracking and disabling devices.
Metropolitan areas with the highest vehicle theft rates
1. Laredo, Texas
2. Modesto, Calif.
3. Bakersfield, Calif.
4. Stockton, Calif.
