car covered with adsThink city bus. Think a product displayed on the sides, front, back and even the roof of a vehicle. Think how many people will see that vehicle -- and its attached advertising -- during its daily drive. Now you've got the idea. As it becomes more and more difficult and expensive to reach consumers from billboards and other media, car advertising is taking off. You have an opportunity here.

Now, it's not quite as simple as 'give me the keys, I'm ready.' But the driver application process is easy and if you haven't ducked out on credit bills and don't have a history of reckless driving, you have a shot. You have the best shot if you commute a long distance to a major city and park outdoors in a location visible from the street.

You could attempt to find the many free car distributors on your own, but a heads-up Webmaster has done the searching for you. And he'll keep the database up-to-date as more companies jump aboard this new advertising bandwagon. If your personality is outgoing, if your neighborhood will allow this kind of vehicle, if you have a vehicle in good condition (no clunkers wanted), then you might qualify. There's a one-time $25 fee to access the database from now on. Applications do not require payment of a fee.

I've checked this out as best I can. Do not waste money unless you seriously want to apply. Most companies seem to prefer the New Beetle, PT Cruiser or a van for ad display. RV vehicles are highly desirable and command premium rates (up to $1,000 a month paid to owners).

And, yes, students can qualify. Ads on campus are desirable. Click the banner directly below to find out more.

What if this person who determined repairs needed to your vehicle was honest and willing to tell you how the industry regularly rips off customers like you? You'd want to hear what he had to say, right? His information could save you bundles of money for future repair visits.

Head shot of Austin DavisMeet Austin Davis. He's all of the above.

Austin's family has run a repair shop business for 63 years now, grossing $1.4 million in revenue last year -- not your little mom and pop shop. Most of the business in his shop comes from repeat customers, ones happy to be treated fairly and honestly.

I'm happy to say Austin is now contributing his valuable knowledge to The Car Place. This important side of vehicle ownership has too long been a dirty little corner filled with give-me-money types.

How can you discover the truth that Austin knows?.You can order an ebook he has available for electronic download delivery.

Austin's book is $14.95. If you find even one valuable item -- and you will -- you'll save the price of the book on your next repair visit. I like Austin because he's a straight-shooter in a business full of BS artists with boat payments to meet. You'll like him, too. Order his book by clicking the banner below.

To read a sampling of his work, check out the following:

* What to do after the accident.
* Should I buy an extended warranty?
* Why are my brakes squealing?
* My 'check engine' warning light came on. What now?
* My car is shaking at highway speed. What does this mean?
* Words mechanics like to hear.
* That first impression is important.
* Oooo. I need transmission work.
