The good old days of free everything online are long gone. It's hard to get free stuff any more online.

They are still doing that a lady on my block has a ugly green beetle that has advertising for a broker and financial firm all over it.

Its the ugliest thing you have ever seen.

How about a company that will give out free cars to people as long as they are hosted by the company? Of course with a $5 per month package!

Hey... I'm getting a free $25,000,000 from this bank in Nigeria that keeps emailing me. They have to get rid of it so they say they'll put it in my bank account.

LOL

That's a very old one.... Been going around 30 years ago even, not by email of course.

Just forward them your bank account details.* :D

Last year around this time I was so excited about getting a domain that I didn't know better about hosting and signed up for DigitalRice's paid service. Alas, too good to be true. I had to lose $70 before I learned my lesson :(

They've had a lot of downtime lately... My Internet Seer monitor reported only 75% uptime two weeks in a row, and four of those days it was down between 12-15 hours. :p :stickout

If you can get some money together take a look at the Shared Webhosting Special Offers (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=4) section of the forum or post in the Web Hosting Requests (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=32) area, you never know you might get a good deal. Just a suggestion :D

All you have to do is skip buying lunch one day a month and you will have a host, plus keep your sexy figure ;)

My brothers Range Rover is being paid for by the same company, but his advertising is some fruit drink.

I don't know the name, I will have to call my brother tomarrow anyway.

I tried and was turned down ( volvo station wagon ), but you fill out this 6 pages questionair, and you have to describe everything about your driving patterens ( morning /noon /night ). Every detail they want including do you street park or driveway ...

since my brother was accepted ( he's in florida ) they tried to accept me also ( seems that they have some sort of system when more than 1 family member get's involved ), but becaus eof the area that I drive in, I could not be welcomed into there plan.

So, does the company pay for your car bills, or do you suggest what car you'd like to have and they pay for it? :eek:

I do drive alot, but my car isn't anything that interesting to look it. It does attract attention however, negative attention that is. :D

Well I spoke with my brother. He said he switch from another company to lets-wrap, because they have a better payout, and the advertising can have the windows clear without writing.

I hate my brother sometimes. his payments is covered fully, and almost his gas is covered fully but he does put on about 40 miles a day so that's got to add up. I'm thinking of asking him to see if I can get myself on it.

Oh wow, I just checked out their vehicle gallery: http://www.lets-wrap.com/gallery/gallery.cfm that definately is alot of advertising, I wouldn't mind though (considering what I get to drive.)

Now I've just got to find something like this in Canada...
