I have a lot of new stuff ready to be posted, and will try to get it all up by the end of the weekend. A few shows, the SummerFest Parade (Windham), a Garage Party and Super Garage, and Phase II of Connie's Mustang Restoration.

Just got back from the Garage Party, so I'll start working on these this evening. Stop back later and there should be some new stuff for ya.

Best of the Best awards - 2009

For those who may be interested in the HotKarz Best of the Best Awards for 2009, here are a couple of quick pix.

Again, for those who may have missed it, you, the folks, will be able to vote via email for vehicles that win at car shows. You will be allowed to vote for any winning vehicle at each show that HotKarz covers. Over the course of the season, the votes will accumulate, and at the end of the season the awards will be given for those vehicles that received the most votes.

So, a vehicle must get into the winner's circle at a show in order to be eligible. And the more often a vehicle gets into the winner's circle, the more votes it could collect.

While this may eliminate some vehicles from qualifying, please bear in mind the purpose of the awards - to be given to the BEST OF THE BEST.

Good luck to you all!

Heat

As we begin to look forward to warmer days, some of you may already be thinking and planning on saving money on next year's heating bill.

If you are considering a pellet stove, have I got a deal for you! I am parting with an almost new American Made pellet stove, by ENGLANDER. It retails for nearly $1800, but I am packing this up with the pipe vent kit, outside air intake kit and 600 pounds of premium pellets for the first person to show up with a truck and $995. And unlike most private sellers, I do accept credit cards (Mastercard, Visa and Discover) and debit cards.

You can get more info and see pix at http://maine.craigslist.org/hsh/1087341736.html. If interested, you can email me at ptwoodycrew@aol.com. But at this price I don't expect it to last long. Come next winter, when fuel cost rises and inflation begins, you are going to wish you had jumped on this.

Now I am sure someone out there is saying, "Hey, Bill, if this is such a good stove (24 hour burn and heats up to 2200 square feet on a single fill), then why are ya sellin' it?"

The answer is simple economics - I have nearly 15 acres of woods. I see little point in buying pellets when I have a lifetime supply of free cordwood, so I am putting in a woodstove. Otherwise, there is no way I would part with this pellet stove. The second reason - I've put on too many pounds. The wife thinks the cuttin', splittin', haulin' and stackin' will be good for my girlish figure.

As a side note, I will soon be offering a really hot bargain on a 24' motorhome, 350 Chevy, rebuilt engine. Great condition. Will probably sell for about half of its value. Will let ya know when I'm ready to post it, but if you want to check it out ahead of time, let me know. Will consider possible non-vehicle partial trades.

See ya in a few weeks! Oh, and I will be posting pix of the HotKarz Best of the Best trophies for 2009. 1st place is 3 feet tall. 2nd is 32", and third is 28". They are pretty nice!
