Your top tips for buying and running a car

Come up with a budget that you're comfortable with in the first place and stay with that budget. Try and determine before you purchase a car how much you feel you can afford. The less you finance, the better. We needed a decent car.

It would have cost us too much money. The car loans from work are quite cheap in relativity so we went via that route. We've always gone for used, but the cars we've had,
we've generally gone for a car that's a couple of years old because they drop their value quite a bit and then actually you've got a fairly new car but you're not paying an extra five, 10 thousand pounds
on top of that for a brand new car. Probably try and put as much of a deposit on the car as possible even though you wouldn't want to, sort of, let go of your money.

It might mean that you end up paying less in the long run. You've got to tax it, you've got to MOT it, service it
and there's all those things but one of the things that I found with my car
that I hadn't realised is kind of the extra jobs where, you know,
the general maintenance of the car... To have a pot of money for those, you know, situations. When you decide you're going to buy a car you actually research what the insurance is going to be in the first place.

We will shop around, so if our insurance company
then puts the premiums up we will make sure that we shop around. People just think about petrol but, you know, all the time the servicing
and everything else and surprise things that come with the servicing
and that sort of thing. I think never underestimate what a car ownership... The costs that are involved..

Why Is Health Insurance so Complicated

Americans carry many different forms of insurance. Theres car insurance, home insurance, life
insurance, even pet insurance . . .

Most of these insurance policies work well and are
fairly priced. But there is one glaring exception: health
insurance. Only health insurance becomes more complicated
and more expensive at the same time. So, the obvious question is: why? To answer this question, we have to start
at the beginning.

What is insurance? Its pretty straight-forward: You pay a
monthly fee which provides financial protection against unforeseen, sometimes catastrophic,
events. People buy homeowners insurance, for example,
to protect themselves from the financial loss incurred in the event of a fire, a flood or
theft. Because millions of people are paying into
the insurance pool, the pool has enough money to cover the unlucky person whose house does
burn down. And since insurance is meant to share risk,
it only stands to reason that higher-risk individuals have to pay more to be insured.

Someone who has had two accidents is going
to pay more for car insurance than someone who has never had an accident. Why? Because their track record indicates they
are more likely to have another accident. But while insurance provides a bulwark against
unforeseen loss, it does not protect against routine expenses. Car insurance protects you in the event that
you wind up in a car wreck or your vehicle is stolen, but it doesnt cover routine
maintenance like oil changes, replacing brake pads or tire erosion.

Why? Because everyone needs routine oil changes,
new brake pads, and new tires. So, there is no risk to protect against. Health insurance in America works very differently. Many of us have health insurance plans that
arent insurance at all.

Theyre really pre-paid health care plans. They cover routine check-ups, less serious
illnesses, and recurring expenses like prescription medications in addition to protecting you
from a health disaster. All of this has made healthcare much more
expensive and complex than any other form of insurance. That is true whether you get your insurance
through your employer, through the government, or if you pay for your own plan.

The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare,
was passed on the promise that it would fix these issues and bring down healthcare costs. But it has actually made the problem much
worse. First, it limited the variety of health insurance
plans private companies could offer. It did this by mandating that every plan had
to cover the same set of ten health benefits, including preventive care, maternity care,
mental health care, and contraception.

Second, Obamacare prevented insurers from
charging premiums based on the risk they were assuming. A person with a much higher risk of getting
sick couldnt be charged more than a person with a much lower chance. These two aspects of Obamacare  requiring
all policies to have certain coverages and not allowing insurance companies to charge
more for riskier clients  caused the price of insurance to rise dramatically. In Arizona, for example, the price more than
doubled between 2016 and 2017 alone.

So, how do we undo this mess? By making health insurance more like, well,
insurance. First, stop making people buy plans that include
things they wont use and dont want. Second, allow health insurers to offer more
options at different prices. Do these two things and youd make health
insurance a lot more affordable for a lot more people.

And what about people with pre-existing conditions
for whom every insurance plan is just too expensive? We do what any compassionate society does:
we make sure they get the medical care they need. But we dont need to upset the whole concept
of insurance and make healthcare more expensive for everyone else to do it. Most Americans want to do the responsible
thing and insure themselves against catastrophic health care emergencies. But with health insurance costs rising every
year, being responsible is becoming more difficult.

Why I'm Donating My Body To Science

- When I die, this body is
going straight to science. It's not going in a casket. It's not going to a crematorium. I'm going to donate it
right to a medical school.

Why? - My name is Peggy Reilly. I'm 65 years old. - This is my mother. And the story starts with her.

She traveled all around the world, raised three awesome kids,
and is generally amazing. But then something happened. - I had a stroke on March 23rd, 2012. - [Kevin Reilly] The stroke
was caused by a blood vessel bursting in her brain.

It changed everything. - I miss working properly, taking care of my husband and my children. I miss that. And driving, and ...

Taking care of the dogs,
and cleaning the house. And walking. I miss all that. - A few years after the stroke, she told me she wanted to
donate her body to science.

And my reaction was, "Why?" - Because its expensive to have a funeral. But I'd like them to learn from my body, so that they can use everything
from my whole entire body, and the bones and everything. - Funerals are expensive. According to the National
Funeral Directors Association the median price is about $7,300.

And a cremation is only about
a thousand dollars cheaper. This is a funeral pricing checklist from the Federal Trade Commission. Basic service for the
funeral director and staff, pickup of body, embalming,
other preparation of body, casket, funeral memorial
service, graveside service, including staff and equipment, hearse. This is ridiculous.

I don't want to put my
loved ones through that. So this got me thinking that, like my mom, I should use what I have to
help people once I'm dead. So I went to find out
how I can donate my body. This is Jo Wiederhorn.

She's the President and CEO. Of the Associated Medical
Schools of New York. That's the group that makes sure body donation programs
in New York are legit. - So the process is really very easy.

First of all, when you decide that that's what you want to do, you should contact the medical school that you want to donate to. And I would say that you should
donate to a medical school. They are licensed; they go through a rigorous process to become licensed. - [Kevin] Medical schools
seem like an obvious choice, but there's a darker
reasoning behind this.

- Revealing new details about
a case of human body parts sold on the black market. - A private company was selling body parts from bodies that had been donated? - There's a whole cottage
industry of "body brokers". - Some U.S. Companies are making a fortune by selling human bodies that
were donated to science.

A Reuters investigation revealed that this often unregulated
business is worth millions and rarely guarantees that your body is going to be used for what you hope for. Really, if you want to
ensure that your body is going to go for educational purposes, because that's what
most people want to do. They want to be able to help train the next era of physicians. So, the best place to do
that is to a medical school.

Every single one of our, we have 16 medical schools in New York. Every single one of them
has a donor program. - [Kevin] Dr. Jeffrey
Laitman is the Director of Anatomy and Functional Morphology at the Icahn School of
Madison at Mount Sinai.

This is where my body will wind up. But I needed to know why these schools really wanted my body. - The laying on of
hands is a sacred trust, a very, very special thing to do. That process begins in the
first day of an anatomy class.

It's a very difficult
thing for a student to do. In our culture, we refer to the cadaver as one's first patient. - [Kevin] But with all the
advances in technology, from VR. To animatronics, why do they
need to use real bodies? - Everything up to this
point is very conceptual: PowerPoint slides, drawings in books.

And this is the first time you
see a tangible representation of humanity and how we're
going to treat them. - [Kevin] The students dissect cadavers in their first anatomy classes,
practicing on human bodies before they ever step into a surgery room. And even experienced doctors
continue to use cadavers. - Other things can be helpful.

And you can learn from
models and computer programs and all sorts of wonderful adjuncts. But the key of medicine as
long as you'll be treating real people is gonna be
learning from real people. - The body is not just a
box that has organs in it. Everything's not always in the same place.

Within the course we have oral exams in which the teaching
assistants will come around and ask us questions about all
of the different structures that we should have dissected
or learned the names of. And my first oral exam, I was so nervous. But I felt calmer than expected, and I realized at the end of the test that I had actually been
holding my cadaver's hand, which was somewhat horrifying
but strangely comforting. - [Kevin] And if you're
wondering what happens to the cadavers once
they're done with them ...

- And when the course is over, the remains are then
either cremated or buried, depending upon the wishes of the deceased. - Each year, many of the schools hold special ceremonies
honoring the donors. Here at the University of
Buffalo, friends and family were invited to join the
students and doctors. That's right, I get a
service, burial or cremation, and I'm helping to train doctors.

Cost? Zero. It's covered by the school. Now, to be clear, donating
your body to science is different from being an
organ donor on your license. With whole-body donation,
the organs are kept intact.

Students need all the parts
to learn about the whole body. So the only thing left to
do is mail out the form, because when I go, this
is going to science. If you want to find out more
about whole-body donation, call your local medical school. Or use this full list
of programs put together by the Anatomical Board
of the State of Florida.

What Happens When You Donate Your Body to Science and How Do You Do This

As you might expect, the rules surrounding
how one goes about donating ones body FOR. SCIENCE varies a little from region to region,
though the general process and what happens after you donate seems to be relatively consistent. For instance, in the United Kingdom, donating
ones body typically involves nothing more than filling out a few forms provided by your
nearest university or medical school. Under British law and the Human Tissue Act
of 2004, written and witnessed consent is required prior to death for a medical authority
to claim a body and its highly recommended that you make your family aware of your wishes
to expedite the process of transporting your body after death.

The latter is important as it is possible
in the UK for your next of kin to override your final wishes in regards to organ and
body donation, and just in general its a good idea to process your body quickly lest
it get rejected for not being, for lack of a better phrase, fresh enough. Speaking of organ donation and body rejection,
in most cases being an organ donor whose organs are harvested will disqualify you from subsequently
donating your body to science directly (though there is a potential loophole in the United
States in going through a body broker, which well get to shortly). However, it is possible to be both a body
and organ donor simultaneously regardless of what side of the pond youre on; in this
case, in the event that your organs are deemed unsuitable for transplantation, the relevant
medical authority youve willed ownership of your body to can then choose to take your
body or not at their discretion. On that note, while there are no universal
rules for what condition your body has to be in at the time of death for a medical authority
to be able to make use of it, a number of things can exclude you immediately from being
considered.

For instance, youll almost certainly be
disqualified from donating your body if you die of a communicable illness or anything
that doesnt have a known cause but which may be communicable. In fact, among the first things done to donated
bodies, beyond refrigerating them to slow decomposition, is to test them for any infectious
diseases. After this, the body will typically be embalmed,
though there are exceptions to this, such as if its being used for study on how the
body decomposes naturally over time in certain scenarios, as is sometime done with CSI training
or investigation. Another way your body will usually be disqualified
is if you die in a manner which renders it in any way abnormal.

So, for example, if you die in a severe car
crash or from a disease which wastes away your organs or muscle, it may be rejected
due to the fact that institutions accepting bodies usually only want cadavers that are
representative of a healthy adult. As one source puts it: In a way, to successfully
donate your body, you have to be in perfect health. But dead. But, again, there are always exceptions and,
for example, researchers wanting to study some disease or the effects of a given car
crash may be interested in your body, just particularly in the latter case that can be
hard to arrange beforehand.

Even if your body is relatively unscathed
at the time of death, if you die under mysterious or suspicious circumstances and an autopsy
needs to be performed, theres a good chance this too will result in your body being rejected. Other things that can result in your body
being rejected, according to one non-exhaustive list provided by the University of Liverpool
include: bedsores being present on your body at the time of death, dying of an aortic aneurysm
and being obese. Your body could also potentially be rejected
if the relevant medical authority simply has no room for more bodies or you happen to die
at a time of year when nobody is around to study your corpse in a relatively timely manner,
such as during the holidays in late December. Its also important to note that in the
event your body is rejected, the medical authority you willed it to will take no responsibility
for your bodys disposal and the relevant funerary costs will, thus, fall to your estate.

On the other hand, if your body is accepted,
the medical authority studying it will often, depending on the wishes of you or your family,
cremate the remains free of charge, or otherwise return them to your family for a private service
at your own expense. Interestingly, because medical institutions
potentially cover the costs of the disposal of your body, a not insignificant number Britons
have relatively recently started to opt into donating their body to science in the
hopes that if their body is accepted, their loved ones wont have to pay expensive funeral
costs, which in Britain in 2016 averaged about 3,702 (~$5,000) per funeral. Over in the United States, the criteria for
donating a body to science is basically the same and require you to sign a few forms signalling
consent prior to death and, again, its a good idea to inform your family of your
wishes in regards to body disposal because, as in the UK, the ultimate decision of what
happens to your body rests with your kin. As the Forensic Anthropology Center of the
University of Tennessee puts it: Regardless of what you have arranged, signed
or instructed, your family or next-of-kin has the final say.

We will not fight your family for your body. We urge you to convince your family that the
donation is what you want at your death. Also like in the UK, certain factors can render
your body unsuitable for study and, for the most part, theyre fairly comparable- death
from extreme trauma, infectious disease and certain cancers can all cause your body to
be rejected, as can being obese. On that note, most medical institutions in
the United States place a height and weight limit on the cadavers theyll accept, usually
limited to 6 feet (1.83 Meters) and a max of between 180-200 lbs (82-91 kg) depending
on the medical institution.

The main reasons for these restrictions are
practical in nature, with it being noted that transporting obese bodies is more difficult
and that the medical tables typically used arent large enough to accommodate pleasantly
plump corpses or those whore very tall. On top of this, dissecting obese bodies is
also more difficult owing to having to slice through a lot of fat just to get to whats
being studied. Having organs and arteries and the like a
bit more accessible thanks to low body fat percentage is just easier to work with. Or, as Louisiana State University professor
Steven Heymsfield very frankly states, When youre doing medical dissection, and youre
up to your elbows in fat, its greasy and unpleasant.

In the UK, no such height limit is explicitly
specified in any literature we could find, although especially large persons (either
in regards to height or weight) are advised that their bodies might be rejected, with
the common reason listed being difficulty in moving the body. Unlike Britons, thanks to competition for
bodies being stiff in the states, American citizens who are somewhat petite have a great
deal of choice when it comes to donating their body to science. And if youre now wondering why competition
is high in the land of the descendants of traitors to the British crown, besides the
larger number of institutions needing bodies, only a small fraction of the 100 million or
so people who opt into organ donation end up opting to alternately donate their body
to science. This is despite full body donation arguably
being just as beneficial as organ donation, if not more so in some cases in that the benefit
to science can potential help many people, instead of just a maximum of a handful as
in organ donation.

(And, note, as with organ donation, a single
body can, and often is, used for several research projects.) As the Associate Director for Education at
Indiana University School of Medicine, Ernest Talarico, notes, You literally help tens
of thousands, hundreds of thousands with donation. Its not only those who learn from you;
its also the research and those who learn from the research. Because of the high need for bodies, some
companies in the U.S. Have made a fortune acting as a middleman of sorts between families
and scientific institutions.

Said companies generally offer to pay the
costs of cremation and the transportation and storage of the body to and from wherever
it is needed. For instance, Science Care has taken the idea
to its logical extreme, comparing themselves to McDonalds in that they deliver a product
(in this case, human bodies and body parts) of consistent quality regardless of where
the institution wanting the body or body part is in the country. In fact, its reported from 2012-2014 alone,
Science Care brought in a cool $12.5 Million selling human remains, which is only publicly
known due to certain court filings. Another body broker, Research for Life, notes
they typically get about $2,500-$3,000 profit per full body.

As for gross cost, documents from another
body broker, Biological Resource Center, showed they were charging $5,893 per whole body in
2013, but could potentially make more if slicing the body up. For instance, they listed a price of $1,900
for a spine, $3,500 for a torso, and $1,300 for a leg One of the main controversies with such for-profit
body brokers is that its not clear how many of the people signing up to them realise
these companies generate income by selling body parts (or whole bodies) from those who
donate their deceased selves to the companies. To be fair, though, it should be noted that,
at least in the case of Science Care, their donor consent form does explicitly state the
for-profit nature of the company. And for those wanting to increase the odds
that their family wont have to shell out any money for disposing of ones remains,
companies like these do offer a reasonably good outlet.

As previously noted, some body brokers also
allow you to donate your organs first and then they take the rest of you to sell off
at their discretion. With most all of these companies, though,
you just have to understand that what happens to your body after they get it isnt generally
something you or your loved ones have much say in. For instance, certain of these organizations
have taken advantage of the fact that there is little in the way of oversight in the body
donation industry (unlike organ donation, which is regulated), sometimes using bodies
in ways explicitly against the wishes of the deceased when they filled out the paper work. Other such companies simply note right on
the application form that they cant be sure what your body or body parts will ultimately
be used for.

So, as with everything in life, even in death,
if youre getting a product for free, odds are reasonable youre the product. Its just that in this case the old adage
is a little more literal than usual. Some people, of course, have a huge problem
with such for-profit body broker companies, while others are just happy to maximize the
odds of their loved ones not having to pay for an expensive burial or cremation, caring
little about whats done with their corpse. Moving swiftly on, whether donating to a medical
institution directly or to a body broker, theres a wide range of career options available
to the discerning corpse, not just in giving medical students incredibly valuable practice
working on a human body that doesnt care if they screw up.

As for these dead body career options, doctors
may use your body to train in some new and innovative surgical method or with some new
piece of equipment. Being able to use your corpse for this can
be a huge benefit in reducing the risk of mistakes when operating on the living. A somewhat more exciting cadaver career path
can be found at the University of Tennessees Forensic Anthropology Center where they have
been watching bodies decompose in various ways for about three decades now. (If you live within 200 miles and they accept
your body, theyll even transport it for free.) One of the many ways in which they might use
your body is to mimic various ways in which people are murdered and then just observe
the effects on your body, possibly even over spans of many years.

They also might use a living picture of you
to observe the change in your visage to help them figure out how a given corpse probably
looked in life. This and many other such experiments provide
incredibly valuable data to a variety of fields, most notably in this case crime scene investigation. If being murdered after you die and then observed
as you decompose isnt your thing, when you donate your body, some institutions allow
for selecting to donate for Safety Testing. If you check that box, your body then may
be used as a crash test dummy.

While this might seem a bit bizarre if youve
never heard of it before, the use of dead bodies in car safety testing is something
every car manufacturer benefits from when testing some new safety device or car design. Although, when asked, most seem prone to outright
deny they test in this way. For some, its technically true that they
dont in that they may simply donate funds to various medical institutions that in turn
at the behest of the company and the National Highway Traffic Administration use bodies
to test various cars and car safety equipment. So its not technically the car company
doing it.

Depending on the nature of the deal, the data
collected may be available to all car companies (and the public) or, in some cases, such as
with Fords inflatable seat belts, the information may only be shared with the company and the
National Highway Traffic Administration. In these proprietary cases, the information
is declared by the company as confidential business information so that its not even
available through a Freedom of Information Act request to the NHTA. Perhaps gruesome to some, use of your body
in this way can potentially save thousands of lives, as no artificial crash test dummy
perfectly mimics the human body like, well, a human body can. As former Ford safety researcher Priya Prasad
notes, Even though we have very good math modeling of dummies, human modeling hasnt
reached that state yet.

(For anyone wondering, we checked and as far
as we can tell neither Ferrari nor Lamborghini offer such a program. That could mean they really dont use human
bodies in crash tests, or it could mean they, like seemingly all major car companies, dont
like to admit they do or otherwise fund such research on their cars. Either way, given the number of non-sports
car models produced is much greater than the blazing fast variety, keep in mind that if
you opt to have your body used in safety testing and youre selected for crash testing, your
corpse will probably end up stuck driving a rather boring family car.) Beyond crash tests, there are countless other
ways in which your body might be used if you opt for safety testing, including in testing
various helmet types. In fact, some dead peoples heads are presently
being used to design better helmets for those who participate in American Football- as you
can imagine, the NFL is particularly interested in this line of research, but its also
potentially massively beneficial for the many thousands of teens who play the sport.

In the end, if something is used to protect
a human in some way and its made by a major corporation, odds are strong at some point
said device was tested on dead people, generally via grants given to medical institutions who
actually have access to the bodies. If having your head put in prototype helmets
and bashed up against hard surfaces or having your body involved in a mini-van crash isnt
your thing, another, slightly more badass sounding, option is to donate your body to
a medical institution and, assuming the option is available, opt into use by the military. If accepted, your body will likely be loaded
with state of the art sensors and then used to help test new weapons and armor, or just
used in things like testing a given explosions affect on a human body. Yes, if youd like to help protect the troops
or to help in the design of weapons for making more bodies, you too can potentially have
your corpse blown up FOR MILITARY SCIENCE! Or, if youre more of a pacifist, you may
have the option to spend the afterlife as a skeleton But not like other skeletons- a skeleton examined
by countless researchers.

Yes, there are numerous anthropology departments
across America who can take your body and strip it down to such for study and research. In these cases, of course, your skeleton will
likely not be cremated or otherwise returned to your loved ones. On this note, the University of Tennessee
currently boasts an impressive collection over around 1,000 full human skeletons, noting,
Every individual donated to the skeletal collection is also used to educate, train
and provide a resource for research in forensic taphonomy And for the extreme exhibitionists among you,
its even possible to donate your body, or at least part of it, to be put on public
display. Besides the famed Body Worlds exhibition,
The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia is one such option for such.

So to sum up, whatever youd like your body
to be used for once youre done with it, donating your body to science is simply
a matter of first contacting a relevant authority or institution- usually your local medical
school is your best bet, though if you just want the free body disposal and dont care
whats done with your corpse, a body broker isnt necessarily a bad option. Either way, youll then only need to fill
out a few quick forms to signal your consent to make it happen. And best to also explicitly mention to your
loved ones that those are your wishes to make sure things go smoothly after you die. Also, for most every option, you should generally
plan that your estate may need to at the least pay for transport of your body, and possibly
that your body will be rejected when the time comes, meaning funds for a more typical body
disposal will be needed.

And, hey, if your body is accepted and the
institution chooses to go ahead and handle all the fees, thats just extra money freed
up for use by your loved ones to throw a better party in your honour with. Its speculated that the likely reasons
for the large disparity between people opting into organ donation vs. Full body donation
in the United States are that donating ones entire body is somewhat stigmatized, rather
than celebrated as in organ donation; arranging to donate your body requires slightly more
effort than just checking a box on a form when renewing your license or the like; and
the average American male particularly simply has a body outside of the height/weight range
usually accepted by medical institutions (max of ~180-200 lbs and 6ft tall). For reference here, the average adult American
male rings in at about 195 pounds and 5 feet 10 inches (1.8 Meters) tall according to the
CDC.

Given that this is more the norm than the
more physically fit bodies many medical students and doctors practice on, there has been some
call of late to start accepting bodies with a bit more girth and height so said medical
students will end up getting more first-hand experience with the type of bodies theyre
likely to frequently work on in their career. However, the practical side of things still
rules the day at present, though many institutions are starting to transition to bigger tables
and particularly loosening their guidelines on weight restriction on accepted bodies. As professor Heymsfield goes on to state,
I dont think you need a room full of obese cadavers, but I still think theres
a usefulness for students. I think to give them a sense of what the effects
of obesity can be on a persons body.

Theres nothing like the real thing..

We Bought an $800 Car and Took a Road Trip in CHINA!

Prozzie - We know it's electrical, we can't get it to a mechanic
C-milk - She's dying, she's dying dude. Oh no! Prozzie - we have to get there! We have to make it to Renhua or Shaoguan. C-milk - We already passed Shaoguan.
Prozzie - Shit. Prozzie - It's not like the west where you can call a private tow company or something.

C-milk - Oh shit. C-milk - Dude we're dying.
Prozzie - The other issue - C-milk - Stay alive!
Prozzie - God damn this thing, come on! C-milk - No we're not okay, dude, it's dying. Prozzie - Keep it up to 3,000 (RPM).
C-milk - I can't, I'm floored! C-milk - This is dangerous, we're on a corner. Prozzie - All my stuff breaks in all my videos.

C-milk - Let's get the fuck out of the car. Prozzie - We don't need it. C-milk - Worse case Ontario (scenario) the cops showed up. C-milk - They said that we're not allowed to be in the car.

C-milk - We got to get the keys out, dude. C-milk - Holy dick! C-milk - Me and Prozzie took a trip up to this mountain it's called "Dick Mountain". C-milk - At this point a lot of caves that look like vaginas. C-milk - Not only are these rock formations absolutely incredible but there is all kinds of really, really cool stuff like ancient tombs and stuff.

C-milk - The polls are in. Thank you to all the people on Patreon that told me what you guys want to see more of it really helps me make video ideas and stuff. C-milk - You guys said you wanted to see more travel vlogs and more presentation style stuff. C-milk - I decided to go do a travel vlog today.

C-milk - Prozzie actually got a hold of me and told me his work isn't going to start for the next couple of days. C-milk - So we decided to do a road trip. So I am going to my garage right now to get my leather jacket, bike. C-milk - My bike has not been starting very well lately.

C-milk - As for me I am very excited to get back on the road. C-milk - I am unfortunately really, really sick. So excuse the coughing and sniffling along the way. C-milk - Anyway I'll catch you guys on the road.

C-milk - Are you *expletive* kidding me? C-milk - Are you *expletive* with me right now? Prozzie - Guess who's back in business. C-milk - How did you get it going? C-milk - You gave up on it! Prozzie - I know it's a weird story cause I was just down in my garage. Prozzie - This thing has been down there for how long, 7 months? C-milk - 7 months!
Prozzie - Something like that. Prozzie - I just decided to put the key in and decided to start it because it wasn't starting before at all.

Prozzie - It just died one day and I just left it there and it started right up. C-milk - No *expletive* way! Prozzie - That much dust on it but yeah. C-milk - Excuse me I'm pretty sick. C-milk - This is amazing! Prozzie - I'm unbelievably excited.
C-milk - It's going again.

Prozzie - Running like it never died.
C-milk - But you didn't fix it. Prozzie - No, it fixed itself. Prozzie - Just come around here I'm going to show you something. C-milk - Okay.

Prozzie - It's pretty clear that someone tried to break into the car. Prozzie - If you look that handle has actually come off.
C-milk - Oh shit! Prozzie - Then someone tried to hot-wire the car.
C-milk - Oh my god! C-milk - It smells awful. Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - In an effort to hot-wire the car they potentially fixed it.

Prozzie - That may have happened. C-milk - They could have been driving it around. C-milk - You never know.
Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - It smells like farts in there, dude.

C-milk - So when you said you wanted to go on a road trip you meant in this car. Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - Let's go! Prozzie - There is no guarantee we're gonna make it. C-milk - That's freaking awesome! I'm happy, let's do it, let's go, let's go! Prozzie - Are you sure? That one looks pretty important.

C-milk - It smells like my Grandma's House. Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - Oh it's awful! Prozzie - Guys it's your fault. C-milk - Let's get some drinks and hit the road.

C-milk - Then we'll decide a destination.
Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - That's how road trips work with us. Prozzie - Yeah we don't know where we're going C-milk - Again in the commotion of trying to set up for a faux road trip C-milk - #1 I thought we were going to be on the bikes. C-milk - #2 I didn't pick out a place to go.

Did you have anywhere in mind? Prozzie - No. C-milk - Okay. Prozzie - So we're gonna have to stop somewhere and sort that out. C-milk - I don't think so, I think we just drive and #2 every time I just randomly do a road trip I always want to go north.

I just want to go north. Prozzie - Well we can't go south because then we would be driving in the ocean C-milk - We know. Take a left. Prozzie - That's just ridiculous C-milk - So we're going to go North if we take a left here.

C-milk - Go north until either our bodies can't handle it or our car can't handle it. Prozzie - Which do you think is going to go first us or the car? C-milk - I think the car is going to die first that's for sure. C-milk - So Prozzie was just telling me that at 100 km/h (62 mp/h) #1 The body is shaking like a banshee it's insane C-milk - Dude, the hood is rattling up and down! Prozzie - No it's not. C-milk - It is! Prozzie - It's not.

C-milk - I'm not even joking, dude. C-milk - It's going like this C-milk - It's like waving.
Prozzie - It's closed. C-milk - You sure?
Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - You latched it right? C-milk - If that opens, dude, you realize -
Prozzie - I'm so scared now from your commentary.

Prozzie - I don't want to go this fast. Feel my wheel. C-milk - We're at 3000 at 100 km/h oh my god that's shaking! Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - Oh no! You're sure you latched that, right? C-milk - Dude, we just ran over a tarp and it was a big tarp! Prozzie - It's still under my car.
C-milk - It's still under your car.

Prozzie - I'm not 100% sure what to do about it. C-milk - I know. Should we rip it out? Prozzie - I don't know what to do.
C-milk - I smell smoke. C-milk - It's probably burning, dude.

C-milk - Oh my god! C-milk - Dude, I smell burning plastic! Prozzie - I think I should stop.
C-milk - Dude, we got to pull the hell over. Prozzie - This guy pulled over.
C-milk - These guys pulled over. I just don't want to die, dude. C-milk - Shit, dude.

Prozzie - That's hot.
C-milk - Yeah. Prozzie - smells very hot.
C-milk - That's burning. C-milk - Yeah that's a tarp. C-milk - There we are, there's the culprit, my friend.

C-milk - I'm not littering, that's not my tarp. Prozzie - That smells awful.
C-milk - I told you. Prozzie - Minor hic, we only been on the road for what?
C-milk - 10 minutes. Prozzie - That was a minor hiccup C-milk - Okay, so we ran over a tarp and because the awful design of this car it managed to get stuck on every corner.

C-milk - Because it's so sharp and then catch on fire. Prozzie - We been on the road 10 minutes and we've  been on fire. C-milk - I'm worried now, I'm worried! Prozzie - That was not the car's fault or our fault the tarp came out of nowhere. C-milk - That's true.

Prozzie - it didn't look both ways. C-milk - I was looking at these signs and I thought if you were a foreigner and you didn't speak Chinese and you tried to pronounce the romanization here this would be called "Schlong". C-milk - It would be, Schlong, dude. C-milk - To us we can't even read it like that.

Prozzie - Oh.
C-milk - We have to pay. C-milk - This is our first checkpoint. I don't think we'll get caught on this. C-milk - If we're gonna get caught it's not going to be on this stretch this is too short.

C-milk - Here we go, is she cute?
Prozzie - No. C-milk - One little quirk that I pointed out cause Prozzie's forgotten about all the shitty aspects of this car C-milk -  is that piece of paper he had to lodge in the mirror otherwise it falls out. Prozzie - Prozzie - Yeah, don't take it out. C-milk - Then he was talking to me about how stressful it is to keep the wheel straight because there is something that happens.

C-milk - Be careful. Prozzie - My wheel is not straight. I don't know if that makes sense.
C-milk - Yeah, it's not straight. Prozzie - If I let go it just really pulls C-milk - Let go.

C-milk - Dude. Prozzie - I'm not doing that by the way C-milk - So we're going to drive 400 km in a car that pulls. Prozzie - Turning left the whole way there.
C-milk - Turning left the whole way there. C-milk - You're gonna get tired.

Prozzie - Yeah I know. C-milk - I'll take over at some point.
Prozzie - Yeah. C-milk - Dude, I have to piss like a racehorse. Prozzie - Well we're stopping at this little pitstop here.

You're gonna drive after you piss. Prozzie - We're gonna get some gas. C-milk - Most importantly we're gonna find out if the car starts again. Prozzie - Right.

This will be the first time we turned off the car since we started.
C-milk - Yeah. C-milk - Alright so one thing we're concerned about is this battery light has been on. C-milk - The battery light being on may mean after we get gas and turn off the car it won't turn back on again.  So we might be living at this petrol station.

C-milk - I honestly don't think the car is going to start. C-milk - Cause it was blinking and it never started in the past.
Prozzie - I think it will. C-milk - The guy that tried to hot-wire and steal your vehicle probably didn't do an amazing job. Prozzie - Well I hope he did because I paid him nothing.

Prozzie - Also I'm really worried about those wires, you refused to let me fix them. C-milk - I don't want to touch them, dude. Prozzie - Well you've already ripped one out with your giant *expletive* foot.
C-milk - No I didn't. Prozzie - We're gonna have to get out and fix that later.

Prozzie - This thing's got a giant tank in it. C-milk - Have to keep pulling out these RMBs. C-milk - It's still going, dude. Prozzie - So I was right, it's a 50 liter tank.

C-milk - That's insane! C-milk - Still going 45. C-milk - Jesus Christ, we're gonna run out of money! C-milk - What the hell? C-milk - My Lexus had a 40 liter tank. Prozzie - The whole time. C-milk - You ready? C-milk - You ready?
Prozzie - Yeah.

Prozzie - Come on baby! C-milk - Yes!
Prozzie - Just like that! C-milk - Thank The Lord Almighty! C-milk - Guys we are lucky little beaves aren't we? Prozzie - Is that a saying? C-milk - No, I just made it up. Prozzie - I can't believe it started. I mean I can I had faith. C-milk - I like that you can feel the entire engine shift to the weight of the car.

C-milk - It literally bucks the whole car. C-milk - We're making really good progress. C-milk - I found that the top speed of this car thus far is about 130 km/h. C-milk - Anyway I'm in the fast lane doing 120 now.

This car we theorized C-milk - Prozzie said "140" I said "130". C-milk - I wasn't able to get it over 130. C-milk - I feel like we could die if we try to go too fast. C-milk - What would a road trip be without maxing out the speed of your car? C-milk - What would it be? Prozzie - Fuck no! Prozzie - We're having a bit of an issue where the car is dying.
C-milk - it's stopping, dude.

C-milk - We were literally just - Prozzie - Are you sure it's dying?
C-milk - Yeah, I swear to God. C-milk - Oh no, it's electric, dude! C-milk - When I turn the lights on it died and the gas gauge is on empty. C-milk - It's really hot down near my shoes. C-milk - Oh shit it died again! It's every time I touch the electrics, dude.

C-milk - Watch you ready? C-milk - I'm gonna test. C-milk - Yup! Dude! C-milk - Every time we use the breaks it's gonna kill the car. Prozzie - We know it's electrical.
C-milk - She's dying, dude. Prozzie - We can't get it to a mechanic.

We have to get there. Prozzie - We have to make it to Renhua or Shaoguan. C-milk - We already passed Shaoguan. Prozzie - Shit.

Prozzie - It's not like the west where you can call a private tow company or something. C-milk - Oh shit! C-milk - Dude, we're dying! Prozzie - The other issue -
C-milk - Stay alive! Prozzie - God damn this thing! Come on! C-milk - No we're not okay, dude, it's dying. Prozzie - Keep it up to 3000.
C-milk - I can't I'm floored! C-milk - This is dangerous we're on a corner. Prozzie - All my stuff breaks in all my videos.

C-milk - Let's get the *expletive* out of the car. C-milk - So here we are and we almost made it. C-milk - We literally almost made it. We were so close.

C-milk - Yet we didn't make it. C-milk - This car, I guess we pushed her a little too hard. C-milk - Why do you have stretch mark cream in here? C-milk - There's a plant growing in your car! C-milk - What are we going to do? Prozzie - I'm going to pee. Why don't you open the hood? C-milk - I will have a look at it.

C-milk - Well, dude, in a way we kind of knew this was going to happen, didn't we? Prozzie - I don't know what to say, it's kind of nerve wrecking.
C-milk - I know. C-milk - It's so shit, so shit and it's pretty freaking cold out. C-milk - Worst case Ontario (scenario) the cops showed up C-milk - They said that we're not allowed to do the car so we're screwed. C-milk - We got to get the keys out, dude.

Prozzie - They seem to be awfully - C-milk - They obviously want the money. C-milk - Yeah, Lord Almighty, we are in deep shit otherwise.
Prozzie - Yeah..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate an Old Car

Hi, my name is Luz Luis, and I'm here to tell
you how to donate your old car to charity. There's probably no better way to get rid
of an old car than give it to a charitable organization. It's a socially responsible
way of recycling, and also benefiting a local charitable mission in your area with a car
that you don't know what to do with. It's really easy to donate a car, but the first
step is actually choosing the charity that you'd like to benefit.

You're going to need
to find that charity, call em' on the phone, and ask em' if they accept old cars. You have
to give em' the year, make, and model of the car, and make sure that that old car is acceptable
to their organization. Usually, that charity will have a special 1-800 number or a website,
but again, you want to get that phone number and the website from the charity itself. In
checking out the charity you want to make sure that at least seventy five percent of
the sales proceeds of your vehicle go directly to that organization.

Never donate to a charity
that is accepting less than seventy five percent of the sales proceeds. There's a lot of for
profit lookalike charity organizations who will take your car, especially your old car,
but they're not really benefiting the charities more than five and ten percent. You want to
make sure that the charity's receiving less than, no less than seventy five percent of
your car donation. They'll probably want you to find a title.

Sometimes, vehicles older
than twenty five years old may not have titles in the state where you're wanting to donate
your car, so again, contact the charity and ask if the year, make, and model of your vehicle
requires a title for donation. But, in most cases you will need to find the title even
for an old car that doesn't run. So, call the charity that you'd like to donate your
car to, get the phone number and the website from them, ask if they'll accept a car older
than whatever the year of your vehicle is, and go through the donation process by submitting
your name, address, year, make, and model of the car, and the contact name and address
of where the vehicle is located. And then, they'll give you instructions about how to
handle the title.

But, the most important thing is make sure to sign the title on the
back side; excuse me, or on the title to release your ownership of the car, and then make sure
that the buyer or the new owner section is filled out with the name of the charity you
intend to donate. So again, to donate an old car just make sure that the charity accepts
a car of your make, and the the particular year, make, and model you're intending to
donate. Make sure that you like that charity, and you believe in their charitable program,
and that they're accepting at least seventy five percent of the proceeds of the sale of
your vehicle. And then, go through their donation process by submitting your donation information
and submitting your title..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Non-Working Car

Hi, my name is Luz Luis and I'm here to tell
you how to donate a car a non running vehicle to a charity. The most important thing is
you need to call the charity on the telephone and ask if they take cars that don't run.
There are some organizations that only take running vehicles. So, usually contacting them
by phone or if they have on their websites a place for you to submit a question, you
might ask them right off that if they take a car that doesn't run. Then from there, the
donation process is generally the same.

If they do take your car whether it runs or not,
they're probably going to give you a phone number a 1-800 phone or a website of where
to submit your donation information and that includes who's going to get the tax receipt,
the address where they're going to mail the receipt. They want to know the year, make
and model of the car anything about the car's condition including the fact of whether or
not it runs. If it has wheels, they'll need to know the contact information of who to
call to go out and pick up the vehicle and the location of where to get the car. Then
they will ask you to sign over the title.

Generally, running or not, charities will
need the title to accept a vehicle donation. The charity will ask you to sign your name
and date your signature and they will ask you to put the charities name in the buyer
of the new owner section. So, again call your charity of choose. Make sure that they accept
non running vehicles if your car doesn't run.

You'll still need a title for the vehicle
and then call to get the details about how to donate either 1-800 number or their website..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car to Charity

Hi my name is Luz Luis and I'm here to tell
you how to donate a car to charity. The first thing you'd like to do is pick the charity
that you'd like to receive your car donation, call the charity yourself, make sure that
the charity benefits a mission, a charitable mission that you'd like to donate to. Ask
that charity what percent of their proceeds go directly to fund their programs and what
percent pays for administrative cost. You really do not want to donate to any organization
that has an administrative cost more than 25 percent.

Once you've established that that's
your charity of choice then you'll want to ask if they accept your car donation. You'll
also want to ask what percent of the sale of your donated vehicle will actually benefit
the charity. Again, never donate your car to a charity that does not give more than
75 percent of the proceeds of the sale of your car to that charity. There are a lot
of organizations that look like charities that are not, they're for profit organizations
accepting your car donation and giving 5 to 10 percent of your car donation to a charity.
So make sure to call a charity that you want to donate, make sure that that car goes directly
to the organization that you choose to donate to.

That charity will probably give you a
1800 number or a website. You'll want to get your title of ownership for your vehicle and
then go to the website or call the phone number that that charity gave you to submit your
donation information. They'll ask you information like, whose name goes on the tax receipt,
what kind of car is it, year, make and model, they might ask you the VIN number for the
vehicle, they'll ask you the condition of the vehicle, and also contact information
so that they can go get the car. They'll need to know the contact phone number and the contact
address.

Once they have the information, generally it's about 2 to 4 days to go out and pickup
the vehicle. They'll want you to sign the title over directly to the charity. Never
leave the title blank. Sign to release your ownership of the car, date your signature
and make sure that the buyer section or the new owner section of the title says the name
of the charity that you're choosing to donate your car to, never leave this blank.

So again,
find your charity, call the charity directly, ask them questions about their charitable
mission and how much goes to their charitable mission. Get the phone number for the car
donation agency directly from that charity, and then follow their instructions. Make sure
to stay close to the charity and keep in contact with them until you have your receipt in your
hand for your tax deduction. If you itemize on your taxes, generally you can use that
as a charitable donation..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in Utah

Hi my name is Luz Luis. I work for the National
Kidney Foundation of Utah in Idaho, and I'm going to be giving you some tips about how
to donate your car to charity here in Utah. The most important thing is to call the charity
directly. Find out about their charitable mission.

Make sure that the programs that
they're funding are ones that you want to benefit with your car donation. Ask the charity
what percent of their funding goes to administrative costs and what percent goes to fund their
charitable mission. Never donate to a charity that has an overhead cost of more than 25%.
You want at least 75% of all of the proceeds that go to that charity to fund their charitable
mission. Then ask them how they accept their car donations.

Sometimes they'll refer you
to a 1-800 number, or they'll refer you to a website. Then you need to get out a title.
You have to have a title to donate a car in Utah. If you don't have a title to the vehicle,
you can usually get a replacement title from the DMV. When you find your title you're going
to sign your name over to release your ownership of the car, and you're going to need to make
sure that the buyer section or the new owner section is filled out with the name of the
charity.

Never leave a title blank. Always put the name of your intended charity here
in the buyer's section. To donate your care to the National Kidney Foundation of Utah,
it's very simple. Get out your title, and call 1-800-TOW-KARS.

It's t-o-w-k-a-r-s. Or
even easier, donate online at Towkars.Org. That's t-o-w-k-a-r-s. Get out your title,
answer all of the questions.

We'll come out and get the vehicle, write your receipt for
your tax purposes. And be in contact with the Kidney Foundation during the donation
process. Again to donate, call 1-800-TOW-KARS, or donate online at Towkars.Org..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in the NYC Area

Hi, my name is Luz Luis and I am with the
National Kidney Foundation and I'm going to be giving you a few tips about how to donate
a car in New York. The first most important step is to choose a charity. Call the charity
on the phone, ask them what their charitable mission is, find out how much money they spend
on their programs, and how much goes to overhead. You really shouldn't donate to any charity
that has more than a twenty-five percent overhead.

Also ask them if they take car donations,
and then ask 'em what that process is for car donation. Then you follow their instructions.
Usually they'll give you a one-eight-hundred number or a website where you can donate.
You go to the website that they refer you to. You probably shouldn't get a website or
a phone number out of the newspaper or off of the Internet without first confirming with
your charity of choice that that is in fact their car donation site or the car donation
phone number. The next step is probably to get your title.

You will need a title to donate
a vehicle. If you don't have a title, most of the time you can go to the DMV in your
area, or even the DMV website and apply for a duplicate title. When signing over a title
to the charity, you'll need to make sure that you sign your name and date your signature
to release ownership, and very importantly, you'll need to make sure that the buyers section
or the new owner section of the title has the name of the charity that you're going
to donate to. Never leave that portion of the title blank.

Then simply follow the directions
that they give you. Usually you're going to have to give the name of the person who's
going to get the tax receipt, give some information about the vehicle like the year, make and
model of the vehicle, what's wrong with the car, and then once the information's submitted,
they're going to call you back and make arrangements to come out and pick up the vehicle. Depending
on the charity, it's usually two to four days to go out and pick up the vehicle. If you
choose to donate your car to the National Kidney Foundation which is the country's oldest
and most substantiated car donation program, all you need to do is call 1 (800) 488 CARS,
or you can donate on-line which is actually very simple.

It's kidneycars.Org. And again,
you get out your title, you submit the information, they'll come out and get the car and then
you can get a receipt that you can use for your tax purposes, if you itemize on your
taxes, you can use it as a tax deduction. So again, to donate your car to the Kidney
Foundation, you could call 1 (800) 488 CARS. Or donate on-line at kidneycars.Org..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in Pennsylvania

Hi, my name is Luz Luis. I work for the National
Kidney Foundation and I'm going to be giving you some tips about how to donate a car in
Pennsylvania. The most important thing is to choose the right charity to donate to.
Make sure that you call the charity on the phone, and that they're local and that their
address matches the address that's in the phone book or on the Internet. Ask them if
they take car donations and if they do take car donations, ask the charity what percent
of those car donations go, what percent of the sale of the vehicle go to benefit, their,
their program.

You might also ask the charity how much of the money that they earn as an
organization goes to overhead. You shouldn't donate to any organization that has more than
a twenty-five percent overhead and at least seventy-five percent of their proceeds go
directly to fund charitable programs. Once you've made that selection, you simply need
to follow their directions about car donation. Go to their one-eight-hundred number, or their

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in Michigan

Hi, my name is Luz Luis, and I'm here to tell
you how to donate a car to charity in Michigan. The first and most important step is to decide
which charity you're going to donate to. Make sure to call that charity on the phone, and
you want to ask questions like, "What is your charitable mission? What percentage of your
proceeds actually benefit your charitable mission?" You never want to donate to a charity
who has an administrative overhead of more than twenty five percent. So you need to make
sure that at least seventy five percent of all of their funding goes to fund their charitable
mission.

Then ask if they take cars as charitable gifts, as charitable donations. Then, find
out from them if they have a different phone number or a website that you need to visit
in order to submit your car donation. The second most important thing is to find your
vehicle title. They're going to ask you to sign the title over, to release your ownership
of the car, and make sure to put the name of that charity here in the buyer's section
or the new owner's section.

You should never leave the buyer or the new owner section blank,
it should always have the name of the charity that you're going to be donating to right
here. Then you go to the phone number or the website that the charity has instructed you
to submit your information to. They're going to ask you questions like, "Whose name goes
on the tax receipt?" The year, make and model of the vehicle. And whether or not the car
runs.

They're going to ask you who to call to go and pick up the vehicle, and the vehicle's
location. Once they have that information, then they'll call you to come and get the
vehicle, and they'll write you a receipt for your tax purposes. To donate to the National
Kidney Foundation, the country's largest and most substantive car donation program in the
country, celebrating this years twenty fifth anniversary of the Kidney Kars Program, it's
very simple. You can call 1-800-488-KARS, or donate on line at kidneycars.Org.

And then
just be sure to stay in contact with the charity that you're donating to throughout the donation
process until you have your tax receipt..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in California

Hi, my name is Luz Luis. I work for the National
Kidney Foundation, and I'd like to give you some tips about how to donate your car in
California. The first and most important thing is to find your charity. Choose a charity
that is in your state.

If you find their phone number, either in the phone book or on the
Internet make sure that the charity is located near you and benefits local programs. Ask
that charity what their overhead is. You never want to donate to a charity whose overhead
is more than twenty five percent. Ask them if they accept car donations, and then get
the phone number and the web address of their car processing center directly from the charity.
Make sure that the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle come to the charity, at least
seventy five percent.

Again, you never want to donate to some of the organizations that
come out of the newspaper, or on the Internet that are giving five to ten percent of the
sale proceeds of your vehicle to those charities. So again, be in contact with the charity.
Make sure how, ask the charity themselves how they accept the car donations. Make sure
that the money is going to programs that you care to benefit, and then donate through their
phone number and their website. The other most important thing is about the title.

You're
going to have to find the title of the vehicle before you begin the donation process. Make
sure that the title is signed over directly to the charity that you want to benefit. Never
leave a title open. So, you sign to release your ownership of the car, date your signature,
and then write, as the new owner or the buyer, the name of the charitable organization that
you'd like to benefit.

As for donating to the Kidney Foundation, it's very simple. You
call 1-800-488-CARS, or donate online at kidneycars.Org. Again, you submit the information, they take
the information about who gets the tax receipt, information about the vehicle; year, make,
and model, what's wrong with the car. They instruct you how to sign the title, and then
once they have the information they'll come out and get the car, and then you can use
a tax receipt for your taxes.

You can write it off as a tax deduction..

Used Car DonationHow to Donate a Car in Brooklyn

Hi, my name is Luz Luis, I work for the National
Kidney Foundation and I'd like to give you some tips about how to donate a car in Brooklyn.
The first, most important thing to consider when your donating a vehicle is which charity
you'd like to choose. Make sure that the charity is in your area, benefits your local area
and call that charity directly. Try not to get car donation programs out of the newspaper,
on the internet without calling the charity itself to make sure that those are legitimate
facilities to donate your vehicle to. The second thing is to ask the charity how much
of the money that they get from car donations go directly to their programs.

You should
never donate a car to an organization that accepts less than seventy-five percent of
the sales proceeds. Also, ask the charity what percent of their money goes directly
to their own programs and how much is overhead. So just be sure to donate to a charity that
is local, that is a charity that you'd like to benefit and that no less than twenty-five
percent of their overhead goes to pay for their administrative costs. The second most
important thing is to find the title to the vehicle, you'll need to sign the title over
directly to the charity, never leave the title blank.

So when you sign your title, make sure
to release your ownership of the car with your own signature and date your signature
and then make sure that the buyer section or the new owner section of the title has
the charity's name in there. If you don't have a title you can go to your local DMV
either on the DMV website, the New York website for the DMV or you can go to your local DMV
office. Then you call the phone number that the charity has given you if it's not the
charity itself to give the information about your vehicle, whose name goes on the receipt,
what kind of car it is, where that car is located. And then once they have your information,
whether you've submitted it over the phone, by mail or on the internet, they will come
out and get your car and issue you a tax receipt.

Generally, if you itemize on your taxes you
can use the deduction as a tax deduction. So make sure to contact the charity and stay
in direct contact with the charity during the car donation process and make sure that
your contact with them is good. As for donating your car to the Kidney Foundation, it's a
very simple process. You can go online to Kidneycars.Org, to donate online is the fastest
and the simplest way to do it but you can also call 1-800-488-CARS.

Those are the Kidney
Foundation's numbers, they'll take the information from you over the phone or if you submit it
online and within a couple of days they'll go out pick up the car, write your tax receipt
and you can us that deduction on your taxes if you itemize..

Used Car DonationCar Donation Tips

Hi, my name is Luz Ruiz. I work for the National
Kidney Foundation here of Utah and Idaho. I'm here to give you some tips about how to
donate your car to a charity. The first most important step is to choose the charity you'd
like to benefit from your car donation and call that charity directly.

Usually you can
find your charity on the Internet or in a phone book but make sure that the address
matches the phone book over the phone. Make sure that you verify the location of that
charity. Also ask what percent of the proceeds from the sale or the recycling of your vehicle
benefit that charity. You should not donate to a charity that accepts less than 75% of
the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle.

Also ask the charity how much of their own
money they use to benefit their charitable mission. Again you should not donate to any
charity that does not allocate at least 75% of their funding to their charitable mission.
Once you have determined that the charity is a legitimate charity in your area and that
the funding allocations are over 75% then get out your title to the car that you'd like
to donate. It's really really important that you have a title, that way you can convey
ownership directly to that charitable organization. Never leave the title blank.

Once you've decide
which charity to donate your vehicle to, sign the title to release your ownership of the
car and then make sure that the buyer section or that the next owner section is filled out
with the correct legal name of the organization that you'd like to benefit. Once you have
the title in your hand, make sure to call the charity that or sometimes charities will
use car processing centers, experts in the field of car donation so that the charity
themselves don't spend the time to process the vehicle donation. Make sure that the phone
number and the website where you've contacted to donate your vehicle are again; that those
references are given to by the charity itself. Once you've called that car processing center
make sure to have the title in your hand, answer their questions.

Usually they're questions
like who, who's name will go on the tax receipt. Where is the location of the car, if it's
different from the mailing address they'll want the title number and the VIN number.
And then once they have your information whether you have submitted it directly to the charity
over their donation website or whether you have mailed it directly to the charity, once
they have your information they'll come out and get the vehicle. If you itemize in your
taxes, you can use the charitable donation as a, as a tax deduction. So you will get
a receipt for your charitable gift.

Any question that you have through out the donation process
should probably be directed directly to the charity so that you can be sure that you're
in direct contact with the charity at the time of your donation..

The War On Cars

We may be witnessing the death of Americas
car culture. And its not dying of old age. People are still buying lots of cars. But theres been a concerted push by government
bureaucrats and environmentalists to transform car ownership from a source of pride to a
source of guilt.

Ever since Henry Ford built the Model T, cars
have been central to the American experience. Thats because cars are more than just another
way to get from point A to point B. They allow us to go wherever we want, whenever
we want, with whomever we want. Think about it: with trains, planes, and buses,
the routes are planned and the schedule is timed.

Only cars allow you to be spontaneous. When you get behind the wheel, you are in
control. You are free. The very reason people love cars  personal
freedom -- is also why regulators can't stand them.

Government  at all levels  craves control. And when it comes to your car, they want you
off the road. So do the environmentalists with whom they
have made common cause. This antagonism toward Americas car culture
can be traced back to the 1970s.

In response to the Arab Oil Embargo in the
early part of that decade, Congress passed national fuel economy standards for cars and
light trucks. These standards, known as CAFE (short for
Corporate Average Fuel Economy), forced automakers to increase fuel efficiency. Rather than let the free market decide what
kind of cars customers wanted to buy, the government decided to do the dictating. Their regulations have cost car companies
and consumers many billions of dollars.

But in the last decade or so, the governments
heavy hand has come down harder than ever. Beginning in 2009, the Obama administration
sought to dramatically increase CAFE requirements. These Obama-era standards make cars more expensivearound $4,000 per new vehicle, according to economists Salim Furth and David Kreutzer. This prices millions of middle-class families
out of the new car market.

The regulations also encourage the production
of smaller, lighter cars, that are generally less safe than larger, heavier ones. The laws of physics are tough to argue with! To make matters worse, the new CAFE standards
push automakers to produce more electric cars, a lose-lose for consumers and, ironically,
the environment as well. Consumers lose because, according to a study
from the consulting firm Arthur D. Little, electric vehicles cost significantly more
to operate over their lifetime than comparable gasoline-powered cars -- around $20,000 more.

And the environment loses because electric
vehicles produce three times as much toxic pollution as gas powered ones when you factor
in the mining of rare earth minerals that electric car batteries require. And this doesnt include the environmental
consequences involved in ultimately disposing of these batteries. Adding insult to injury, a typical electric
car gets fewer than 100 miles per charge and can take 4 to 8 hours to fully charge the
battery. So much for the freedom of the open road.

Maybe that explains why consumers have shown
scant interest in these cars, despite hefty government subsidies and privileges. Still the regulators, bureaucrats and environmentalists
persist. Urban planners are adding bike lanes, reducing
parking spots, and pouring billions into more public transportation all to get people
out of their cars. Former Boston Mayor Tom Menino once declared,
The car is no longer king before banning all cars in a popular downtown shopping district.

Arlington, Virginia, a suburb of DC, actually
encourages people to adopt a car-free diet and live in one of the countys urban
villages. Seattle, meanwhile, plans to aggressively
discourage driving by limiting parking spots, even though cars are an unavoidable part
of work and life for most people, according to the Seattle Times. Time will tell if these regulations and strategies
will work. Americans are explorers.

We value our independence, and weve never
been good at staying put, or being told where to go and at what time. Maybe thats why, despite the governments
best laid plans, sales of trucks and SUVs are breaking records as low gasoline prices
inspire people to drive more and buy bigger vehicles. Why shouldnt they? Personal car ownership is part of Americas
fabric. It brings people together, and makes this
big country of ours seem a little smaller and more free.

Americas car culture isnt deadyet. So long as Americans still want to live in
the Land of the Free, Americas car culture will never die. Im Lauren Fix for

AT LEAST YOUR HICCUPS ARE GONE. HMM...YOU'RE RIGHT. HA, THEY SAY A GOOD SCARE
WILL GET RID OF THE HICCUPS. HA, HA, AND I'VE HAD
A GOOD SCARE.

NOW IT'S TIME TO GET TO WORK. I'VE GOT TO DRILL THIS,
SAND THAT DOWN, HAMMER THIS IN, UH... THE CHAIR IS
LOOKING GOOD, PAPA. WELL, THERE'S STILL A LOT TO DO,
BUT I THINK I CAN PULL IT OFF.

WE'VE BROUGHT YOU
SOMETHING TO EAT. THANKS, CUBS, BUT THERE'S
NO TIME TO STOP. [ MUNCHING AND GULPING ] "WHEN EATING YOUR FOOD,
REMEMBER TO CHEW." "IT'S NOT JUST GOOD MANNERS,
IT'S HEALTHY FOR YOU." MMM, GOOD MANNERS
AREN'T GOING TO HELP ME. FINISH THIS CHAIR ANY FASTER.

WE'LL HELP YOU, PAPA. THANKS FOR HELPING OUT, CUBS. AHH, THIS CHAIR IS REALLY. STARTING TO COME
TO-- HIC ...GETHER.

OH-- HIC, THEY'RE BACK. [ HICCUPPING ] AND NOW I CAN'T HOLD
MY CARVING CHISEL STEADY. [ HICCUPPING ] UM...TRY
HOLDING WATER. IN YOUR MOUTH
WHILE PUTTING.

YOUR FINGERS
IN YOUR EARS. DO YOU THINK THAT WILL WORK? IT'S WORTH
A TRY. [ GULPING ] WHERE DID YOU HEAR
ABOUT THAT HICCUP CURE? I MADE IT UP. AND I THINK IT'S
GOING TO WORK.

[ SWALLOWING ] HA, HA, HA, NO MORE HICCUPS. I'VE DISCOVERED A CURE! [ HICCUPPING ] [ PAPA ]: OH, NO. OOPS, I GUESS. I DIDN'T
DISCOVER A CURE.

I'VE GOT TO-- HIC, FIND
SOME WAY TO GET RID OF THEM. OR I'LL GET-- HIC,
WAY BEHIND SCHEDULE. DON'T
WORRY, PAPA. WE'LL THINK OF
SOMETHING ELSE, RIGHT, BROTHER? BROTHER? BOO! [ HICCUPPING ] NOT EVEN A HEADLESS BEAR
CAN SCARE THESE HICCUPS AWAY.

[ HICCUPPING ] AWW...I THOUGHT
THAT WAS. GOING TO WORK
FOR SURE. TRY STANDING
ON YOUR HEAD. THAT MIGHT WORK.

[ HICCUPPING ] OHH, I'LL TRY ANYTHING TO GET
RID OF THESE PESKY HICCUPS. [ GRUNTING ] [ HICCUPPING ] DON'T WORRY, PAPA,
WE'VE GOT YOU. [ MAMA]: AHEM... I CAN SEE YOU'RE ALL VERY
HARD AT WORK ON THE CHAIR.

WE'RE TRYING TO HELP PAPA
GET RID OF HIS HICCUPS. I'M SPENDING MORE TIME-- HIC,
ON HICCUP CURES. THAN I AM ON GETTING
THAT CHAIR DONE-- HIC. WELL, THE SQUIRE
JUST CALLED.

AND SAID THAT THE PARTY IS. GOING TO BE IN THE AFTERNOON
INSTEAD OF THE EVENING. [ PAPA ]: WHAT?
WHOA...OOF! NOW I'M BEHIND SCHEDULE
BY HALF A DAY. WHAT ABOUT THE PAINT? DOESN'T THE SQUIRE KNOW
HOW LONG IT TAKES PAINT TO DRY? WELL, AT LEAST THAT NEWS SCARED
THE HICCUPS OUT OF YOU, PAPA.

HUH? SO IT DID. HA, HA, HA...SO WHY AM I
STANDING HERE TALKING? I'VE GOT A CHAIR TO FINISH! OHH...I DID IT. [ YAWNING ] I ACTUALLY DID IT. OH...TIME FOR BED.

MMM.... AND TIME FOR A BEDTIME SNACK. [ CHUCKLING ] [ MUNCHING AND GULPING ] [ YAWNING ] [ HICCUPPING ] OH, NO! [ HICCUPPING ] UH, OHH...WHAT'S GOING ON? I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. I JUST CAN'T GET RID
OF THESE-- HIC ...UPS.

OH, I THINK WE SHOULD VISIT
DR. GRIZZLY TOMORROW. IT CAN'T HURT TO SEE
IF THERE'S SOME REASON. WHY YOU ARE GETTING
THE HICCUPS ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. ESPECIALLY SINCE
WE HAVE TO GO TO-- HIC, THE SQUIRE'S FANCY PARTY. OH, I SURE DON'T WANT-- HIC,
TO EMBARRASS MYSELF THERE. WITH MY-- HIC, HICCUPS.

OH, WELL...GOOD NIGHT, DEAR. [ YAWNING ] [ SNORING AND HICCUPPING ] [ GROANING ] [ DR. GRIZZLY ]: THERE'S A PART
INSIDE YOUR BODY THAT HELPS. YOU BREATHE AND IT'S
CALLED THE DIAPHRAGM.

IT'S HERE, AT THE BOTTOM
OF YOUR CHEST. NOW, WHEN THE DIAPHRAGM
BECOMES IRRITATED, IT PUSHES UP IN A JERKY MANNER. AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOUR
BREATH COME OUT IN A FUNNY WAY. HICCUPS! HICCUPS! EXACTLY.

MMM, BUT WHAT CAUSES
MY DIAPHRAGM. TO GET IRRITATED
IN THE FIRST PLACE? DIFFERENT THINGS. SOMETHING COULD BE BOTHERING
YOUR THROAT<i> OR</i> YOUR STOMACH, OR SOMETIMES,
YOU CAN GET HICCUPS. IF YOU'RE NERVOUS OR EXCITED.

EATING TOO QUICKLY
WILL DO IT ALSO. "WHEN EATING YOUR FOOD,
REMEMBER TO CHEW." "IT'S NOT JUST GOOD MANNERS,
IT'S HEALTHY FOR YOU." EXACTLY RIGHT,
SISTER. IT'S HEALTHIER
TO EAT SLOWLY. AND CHEW
YOUR FOOD WELL.

YES, HA, HA, I SUPPOSE
I HAVE BEEN EATING. A LITTLE TOO FAST LATELY. HA, HA, HA,
A<i> LITTLE</i> TOO FAST? GOODNESS, YOU'VE
BEEN EATING. LIKE A VACUUM
CLEANER.

HA, HA, I DO LIKE
TO CLEAN OFF MY PLATE. [ LAUGHING ] OH, LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE HERE. AND THEY ARE ALL
GOING TO SEE MY WORK. RELAX, PAPA, EVERYONE'S
GOING TO LOVE YOUR CHAIR.

MM-MMM, THE SQUIRE SURE KNOWS
HOW TO THROW A FANCY PARTY. THESE APPETIZERS ARE SO GOOD. [ MUNCHING ] IT LOOKS YOU'RE TAKING
DR. GRIZZLY'S ADVICE.

ABOUT EATING YOUR FOOD SLOWER. OH, YES. I'M MAKING
HEALTHIER CHOICES NOW. THIS IS THE LAST PLACE
I WANT TO GET THE HICCUPS.

OH...OH, LOOK. IT'S TIME FOR
THE GIFT PRESENTATION. OH...I CAN'T LOOK. [ SQUIRE ]: HAPPY
BIRTHDAY, DEAR.

[ SQUIRE'S WIFE ]:
OH, HOW LOVELY. [ CLAMOURING ] WHAT A FANTASTIC
CHAIR, PAPA BEAR. [ MAN ]: DO YOU THINK
YOU COULD MAKE ME ONE? OOH, ME TOO. HA, HA, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T
NEED THEM BY TOMORROW, HA, HA.

CONGRATULATIONS, PAPA. YOUR CHAIR IS A BIG HIT. AHH, THANK YOU, DEAR. [ HICCUPPING ] OH, NO, NOT THE HICCUPS AGAIN.

JUST KIDDING. HEE-HEE-HEE... .
