Kick the Oil habit!!! GREEN CAR, the answer to... Gasoline crises?  

E85-Stations

As - E85 Fuel - hits the markets across United States Cities there are more questions than answers... So is is the E85 fuel the answer to America's (and the world's) addiction to oil?

US does not even produce half as much ethanol as universal E85 would require. We make about 5 billion gallons of ethanol, but use 140 billion gallons of gas... What that tells you?

Are we close?... Can we breathe easily thinking that our troubles are over? (at least to a near distance in time). E85 ethanol fuel may make a small contribution now, but it is a dead end some smart minds tell us.

Rio Hotel Casino

The 14th Alternative Fuels & Vehicles National Conference + Expo 2008 is a leading fuel and vehicle neutral conference and exposition. The conference was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 11-14, at the Rio All-Suite Hotel , the premier international conference representing all alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles where internationally renowned experts.

"Don't wait for the perfect alternative fuel. There ain't one," said Sam Swearngin, fleet manager for the city of Kansas City, Mo., as he addressed fellow fleet managers from across the nation.

Today there are other options: hydrogen fuel cells, compressed natural gas, methane captured from garbage dumps.

Las Vegas led the nation with almost 63% of its vehicles using alternative fuels, including 450 vehicles using B20 biodiesel (20%), in addition to using less-polluting compressed natural gas, electric hybrids and zero-polluting hydrogen vehicles.

Top 10 Alt Fuel City Fleets
City%
Las Vegas, NV 63%
Honolulu, HI 51%
Albuquerque, NM 42%
Dallas, TX 39%
Denver, CO 31%
Phoenix, AZ 28%
Los Angeles, CA 25%
Seattle, WA 25%
Portland, OR 25%

 

 E85 Fuel - is readily available here in Southern Nevada. But can your car use it? Newer cars can use both E85 and regular gas but your car must be equipped for the gas or you should not use it. At one gas station, here in Vegas,  the owner replaced premium gas with E85.

Check the label inside your Fuel Door and or check your VIN number. Write down the 8th Character in your VIN number and call your local Dealer. With that 8th character they will be able to tell you if your vehicle is compatible with E85 Fuel.

Creative Real Estate ... Lease 2 Purchase contract!

The Lease 2 Purchase agreements are gaining popularity because they can widen the pool of potential buyers.

Lease 2 Purchase, a lease option or a rent-to-own agreement, are really talking about an arrangement that contains both a lease contract and an option to purchase contract. By definition, this is really a Lease 2 Purchase (or lease option or rent-to-own). Thus... Lease + Option to Purchase = Lease 2 Purchase AND lease option AND rent-to-own

The Lease 2 Purchase offers homeownership opportunities to consumers with little cash and/or poor credit, who are prepared to bet on themselves. The bet is that before the option period expires, they will qualify for the mortgage they need to exercise the purchase option. During the option period, they have the opportunity to rebuild their credit and accumulate equity while living in the house.

Lease 2 Purchasing is truly a Win /Win Strategy in the field of creative real estate. The reason is because it is not adversarial. There are plenty of advantages and profits for everyone.

 

Imagine negotiating and moving into the home of your dreams today and buying it several years from now! Consider the market need for helping others who can't get past the bank by helping them to get started in home ownership. Yep, the advantages for the Tenant/Buyer are such that they will beat a path to your door.

 

  • Very Low Down Payment (1-2% vs. 10-30%)
  • No Loan Qualification Necessary Up-front
  • Rent Money Is Working For You (AKA: Rent Credit)
  • Option Consideration Is often Credited 100%
  • Price Is Usually Locked In Up-front
  • Profits From Any Appreciation
  • Time To Check Out The Home (Make sure the roof really doesn't leak... all that)!
  • Time to Check Out the Neighborhood and Neighbors
  • Time To Obtain the Best Financing (No pressure, no rush, no bank financing up-front).
  • No Taxes To Pay.
  • Buys Time To Repair Credit or Develop Needed Down Payment (time on your site).
  • No Lengthy Escrows or Mortgage Approvals
  • Rents are Negotiable (everything is negotiable)!
  • You can live in the home of your Dreams today which you can Buy Tomorrow.

"Blue Eyes"... a tribute to Las Vegas! (Updated)

As my previous post about Sinatra - "Blue Eyes"... a tribute to Las Vegas! - brought an impossible glitch to my Blog as no one would be able to leave a comment, nor to see the page correctly displayed in the window, I am reposting it after redesigning it. 

It is neither to undersell nor overstate Frank Sinatra's contribution to Las Vegas. He made the city swing... he took the city by storm... he gave Las Vegas something equally important: an image.

Sinatra was a Las Vegas fixture for 43 years, from his first appearance in September 1951 until May 1994. And the city has an intoxicating admiration for the men that put Las Vegas on the map. Sinatra's magic was more easily described: gambling, womanizing, drinking till dawn -- and all of it with style.

He did it all HIS WAY! And this becomes, in many ways, the mantra that caries Las Vegas up to the hills of its success... glamour, gambling, ephithemy of good time, good life and sheer excitement... Sinatra aura brought international royalty and made Las Vegas a global destination. The capital of entertainment.

What if there had been if Sinatra wouldn't love this city? is nearly impossible to imagine, because the rise of the singer and the Vegas Strip were inseparable. "With his little gang of merry men he established forever a sense of free-floating fun and frolic that captured the imagination of the world," Gregory Peck told celebrities two weeks after Sinatra's death in May 1998.

********************************

A new stamp honoring Frank Sinatra goes on sale next week. First-day-of-sale ceremonies for the 42-cent stamp will be held Tuesday at three locations familiar to the famed singer and actor. via Florida Times-Union

********************************

I don't imagine anyone on this planet would not love and enjoy his music.

Here is my favorite!... Speaks to my heart.
"... much more than this, I DID IT MY WAY!"
