Alex

Alex is a student studying off-road vehicles and cars at the Car Share Club. He sent us a list of top 14 classic off-road vehicles and cars to add to our site. Thanks Alex for this contribution. This adds a new element to our site that we hadn't considered. Keep up the good work!

David Sides

Thank you to David of the Outreach Department of The Mesothelioma Center (www.asbestos.com). All automotive enthusiasts should be aware of the health risks associated with this hobby. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused from asbestos exposure that can take 20-50 years to develop. Asbestos was commonly used in the production of older car parts, including brakes, clutches and heat seals. David shares valuable information that promotes awareness not just to professionals, but also home mechanics of the dangers of asbestos and the steps involved if affected. For Do-It-Yourself individuals, the information provided on this website is helpful. The Our site features extensive information on asbestos and the center works 1-on-1 with individuals to help them find local doctors, treatment centers and support groups all at no cost.

“This is a great list of resources!”

Emily and Melissa

Emily and Melissa were working on an after-school project focusing on inventions and discoveries that have impacted our world. While conducting their research, they came across a website focusing on the history of the wheel. They recommended that we include the link (https://store.intellaliftparts.com/c/history-of-the-wheel.html) on our website and I couldn't agree more. The wheel is significant to our mobility. From automobiles to airplanes to wheelchairs to skateboards to motorcycles, our lives depend on the reliability and functionality of the wheel. Emily and Melissa, keep up the good work and be sure to thank your wonderful teacher for contacting us.

Evan Roberts

Evan recommended that we include the link to Automobiles of the Early 20th Century on our site. This was a great idea! Evan's mom, Whitney Roberts, told us that Evan is really into cars and trucks. Recently, he completed a project on the history and the evolution of the automobile. He is really into trucks and heavy duty vehicles and machinery, but really anything with an engine will suit his interest. This describes many of the visitors to this site! Thanks for your contribution and we are happy that you found this site useful! We look forward to including additional resources that will help all automotive enthusiasts and hobbyists.

Justin Jacobson

Justin is an enthusiast like the rest of our viewers. He's 14 and absolutely in love with cars. In his free time, he enjoys building models. Justin recommended we include the link to the Ultimate Guide to Car Museums in the US and Around the World on our resources page. Justin, did you know that I choose my vacation destinations on the car museums that I would like to visit? Thanks to you, I have a few more destinations to include on my list. Special thanks to Justin's dad, Don, for contacting us and allowing Justin to visit the site.

Kevin

Kevin of Washington is a teenager who loves the classics. While attending one of the weekly car talks hosted by the Cruisers Car Club, he shared the following classic car resource (www.titlemax.com/articles/classic-cars-101/) This site defines classic cars, provides tips for purchasing classic cars, restoring classic cars, and more. This is an amazing resource for those of us that love the classics. Thank you Kevin (and James of Cruisers Car Club) for providing this site. Keep Cruising!

“Thanks to this site; I was able to visit a museum that I didn't know existed.”

Melissa Donato

Melissa recommended that we include Auto List (www.autolist.com) on our resources page. Auto List is a great resource for individuals analyzing the buying market for cars. The site provides listings, pricing data and market analyses. Melissa calls it, "the next-generation car search tech". Thanks Melissa. I believe our viewers will find this resource helpful!
