No matter how the economy is doing, people are surfing the internet more and more. Instead of doing their comparison shopping by driving from store to store, people are hitting the information super-highway to get the best prices and even make their purchases. With billions of dollars generated in revenue from advertising and e-sales, what kind of difference could we make if just a small portion of those dollars made it into our schools and other non-profits? The answer is a HUGE difference! Contact us today and one of our Fundraiser Agents will be in touch with you ASAP to talk to you more about the MySource advantage!

With over to $20 billion generated in online revenue last year alone, what if some of that was given back to the community? Schools, youth groups, churches, and other non-profits are realizing the potential of perpetual e-fundraisers. No more car washes, no more wrapping paper or cookie dough. It is the 21st century, isn’t it time your fundraisers joined the rest of the class?

What is Woot? Below is a copy and paste from their FAQ page.

What is Woot and who’s behind it?

Woot is a gaggle of unique companies. Or half a gaggle, at least. Woot Services LLC operates the websites and keeps the motor purring; Woot Workshop LLC provides creative content and mans the stereo for the ride; and Woot, Inc. sells the merchandise and pays for the gas. The aforementioned websites, of which Woot.com is the alpha URL, focus on selling cool stuff cheap and encouraging (almost) unfiltered community discussion about that cheap stuff. The probably unreliable hivemind of the Internet has more to say about us in this Wikipedia article.

I see only one item, do you sell anything else?

No. We sell one item per day until it is sold out or until 11:59pm central time when it is replaced (see next entry for details). However, each item we sell is in stock and typically ships within 2-3 business days.

What is the schedule for new items?

The short answer: we offer a new item every single day. The details: a new product is released every morning at 12am central time, seven days a week. (If you’re not a morning person, this can be described as every night at midnight. Better?) If a product sells out during its run, a new item will not appear until the next release time. You will know if a product is sold out, because the main page says “SOLD OUT” instead of “I want one”. (Clever, eh?)

In one very short descriptive word, Yes. Look at it however you wish, the custom car scene hit it’s heights in the late 90′s and shortly into the 21st century. You want to know why? Well let me tell you…

The custom car scene, whether it be domestics, imports, V8′s, turbos, bikes, etc lives on innovation and design. Through the past two decades we have pretty much done everything we can do to a car. From electronics to engine mods and swaps, it all has been done. I sat down with a couple of friends recently, with whom I used to street race with years ago, to discuss what we though about the current “scene”. So to satisfy our curiosity we headed to the local hang out spots to see how things looked.

The parking lots that used to hold hundreds of cars weekend after weekend now hold maybe a 1/4 of what they used to. Now the size of the crowd wasn’t the real concern, it was the lack of quality in the cars, their modifications, and over all passion for REAL tuning. In order to be a tuner back in the day you had to know how to really work on a car. You understood what made a car faster or a stereo louder. You knew how to read a dyno chart and how to shift to stay within your car’s power band. You took the time to learn subwoofer box design and how to squeeze an extra few decibels out of them.

And again, what honestly can we do to cars that have not already been done? Much like fashion we find ourselves making several trips back to the well and hoisting out old looks and mods. We’ve swapped all kinds of motors into everything. We have put all available A/V tech known to man inside of a car with limitless amounts of speakers and TV’s. We’ve built beautiful pieces of art with sheet metal and composites. Rims have gone from small to big and now back to small. Paint has gone from crazy and wild, now all the way back to the matte black finishes of rat rods. There is nothing else. If you can think of something that hasn’t been done I would love to hear it. And don’t say putting a beer keg in the back of a Civic is new, it’s been done already. Hell we even have cars that transform into mobile DJ booths and tailgating centers.

Now you cannot completely blame the current generation of tuners. New cars I believe have advanced in sophistication to a point where the home tuner can only do so much with them. Computers and technology have done some amazing things for us in the auto industry, but at the same time have out paced the learning curve of most. Things have become plug in play with computers controlling more and more functions within the vehicle. This kind of checks the typical tuner out of the game.

Which leads me to my final piece. I think the majority of those who were in the game in its glory days have simply gotten older. Our lives are more complicated with an ever growing amount of responsibilities. The torch was never really passed along because the car scene’s flame burnt so hot, that the flame quickly faded. The unwritten rules and traditions did not transition over.

Sure there will always be an underground car scene. But I think that the trendiness, if that is even a word, has finally worn out. You won’t find groups of hundreds, you will find small groups in their secret spots no longer out in the open for public display. The real tuners will never go away. We still meet up every now and then, grab a beer and talk in a language laced with motor codes, specs, and times. That fortunately, will never die.

2011 Mini Cooper D

I really have a problem with the way things are currently rolling in the United States in regards to engine choices we are given.

I am recently in the market for a new car, and more specifically a Mini Cooper. In Europe they have a selection of not just one but THREE different diesel engines in the 2011 model year. The most efficient is knocking down around 60 MPG! Is there a particular reason why these aren’t being offered here?

The reasons for having a larger diesel selection far outnumber the reasons not to have them. Diesel is easier to produce, the engines are more efficient and actually seem to last longer than their gasoline peers. To top that off, the modern diesel engines are much quieter and cleaner than ever.

Diesel fuel for that matter only costs more because of taxes and government regulation here state side. The people would be lined up around the block to buy cars getting 40 to 60 MPG, but I guess that would lower consumption, which in turn would lower tax revenues that have been feeding political bureaucrats for the last 100 years. Politics is getting in the way of more fuel efficient cars, not innovation. Plain and simple.

Straight from blazing a new company record on Nurburgring at a blistering 7 minutes and 48 seconds, more details begin to trickle out about the new M3 GTS.

With power output bumped to a respectuful 450 hp and and similarly numbered torque specs. Along with the addition of some ponies to the stable, BMW lowered the stance of the already agressive M3.

No numbers are out on this baby yet. I guess BMW is just keeping us waiting for more. So peep the pics provided so graciously by the beer lovin’ country’s favorite producer and get your drool on.
