Easy Money! 3 Simple ways to earn some extra cash with your smart phone.

     Money is always tight around the holidays so I figured I would share a few way that I personally make a few extra bucks just using my smart phone. I have used all of these and can tell you they work and are not a scam.








      First up is an app called "1Q" and  it is literally just that. You answer one question and you get either   $1.00 or $0.50 it is that simple. After downloading the app "1Q" and setting up your account you get a notification when there is a survey question for you, the catch is you only have a limited amount of time to answer it. The downside to this app is that is that you do not get questions very often....or at least I do not. You can find 1Q online HERE, on Google Play and in the iTunes APP Store

     Second is an app by Google by the name of "Google Opinion Rewards" and like the previous app you sign up and get notified when there is a survey for you to take. The surveys vary in length but still take less than 3 minutes to complete. As payment for taking the survey you get a credit put into your Google play account. So this is not "real" money but I have bought several app from the play store with the credit I have earned. You can also use it for book, music and movies anything in the play store. It can be found HERE or by searching the play store on your phone. Sorry not available for Apple for obvious reasons.

     Lastly is the app that I have made the most money using over $50 and the money can go straight into your Paypal account, it is called "AppTrailers". The way it works is you watch advertisements for apps and in return you get points the points can be redeemed for lots of different gift cards and even into your Paypal account. A good way I have found to rack up points is to just watch the same ad over and over while I'm just sitting watching TV or doing other mindless activities. You can find AppTrailers HERE or on Google Play on your phone and also on iTunes.

Let me know what you think about the apps or if you have other money making apps in the comments section below.

2015 Subaru WRX

     The WRX is powered by a new turbocharged 2.0-liter flat-four engine with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission or a surprisingly responsive CVT, the latter featuring eight manually selectable ratios. The WRX’s sophisticated all-wheel-drive system is made even sharper by a brake-based torque vectoring system.

2015 Audi A3

    2015 Audi A3 with 220 horses and 258 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0T Quattro could be Audi’s most composed sedan that doesn’t have an “S” in front of it, and after driving the pure stink out of the 2.0T Quattro, we can say that the $3K difference is well worth it. We estimate a 0–60-mph time of 5.9 seconds for the 2.0T, vs. 7.3 seconds for the 1.8T, and thanks to the deeper power reserves, the DSG feels less sleepy in Drive than it does with the 1.8T. In Sport mode, the higher shift points and predictive, throttle-blip downshifting make hot-shoeing more enjoyable. 23 city / 33 highway

Two New Awesome bikes from Kawasaki

     So if you aren't into bikes you may not have heard about these two "Brother" bikes. First the "Little Brother" Kawasaki Ninja H2 is the first production bike to use a supercharger and makes over 200 horsepower with a 1000cc bike that is around 500lbs.

Read about the Ninja H2 Here




Next is the "Big Brother" the Kawasaki Ninja H2R the R is for racing. This is because this bike is not street legal. Instead of mirrors it had wings to put down force of the front end. It has no headlights or turn signals only a brake light. The entire nose cowling is carbon fiber, it has a full titanium exhaust with no muffler just straight pipes. All this to reduce the weight by 22 kg that is  almost 50lbs and it comes from the factory with racing slicks. Oh and the last thing and most amazing is the power bumped to 300 hp on a bike that is very light weight. It also looks like something from Tranformers it is by all means ridiculous.

 Read about it Here.

Car Spy Photos and Camouflage.

I was looking up car spy photos and camouflage after some pictures of our test truck that drives around Columbus appeared on the internet. I think being a car camouflage engineer would be interesting.

How 4-Stroke Engines Work! (Otto cycle)

     Ok so this video show how a gasoline also called Otto engine differs from the diesel I posted earlier. the main difference to note is that this engine has the air/fuel already mixed when it enters the cylinder and the spark ignites the mixture. In the diesel only air goes into the cylinder then fuel is injected during compression and the heat alone from compression ignites the fuel.



  

How Diesel Engines Work - Part - 1 (Four Stroke Combustion Cycle)

     I thought since I work with diesel engines I would post  some videos that show how they work. This first video does a good job explaining the four stroke process of a diesel.

In The Beginning

     OK, So I  decided to start this blog and just post things that I find interesting. I may do a series related posts these could be a video series or just text. Depending on how I feel I may just post a random thing who knows.

     I do ask that if you like the blog, find what I post interesting or helpful or if you just want to help out. Click the PayPal Donate button, the donations ( if any ) will go towards a fund for a new car.
