Look, first of all I am no military strategist. But I am no fool either to realize over the past 30 years, (im only 28) what china has accomplished in the world of economics and poisioning everyones pets! We need to hold our government accountable for being trade partners with a communist regime who do not believe in human rights and the sounds of G-UNIT. These jokers surfaced a submarine 500 yards away from our beloved USS KITTY HAWK last year and they keep “mooning” us in the face with poisoning Lassie, putting lead paint on my childs “Thomas the Tank Engine” and putting nothing but absolute crap in wal-mart. Our government seems to stand for hypocracy. We won’t have a thing to do with Cuba and the beautiful antique cars they have over there but we have our heads so far up china’s **** that the smell of their (you know) is irrelevent to our senses. Should the american people boycott china?

Help, I can’t seem to get two equations out of this!

A firm manufactures bumper bolts and fender bolts for antique cars. One machine can produce 130 fender bolts per hour, and another machine can produce 120 bumper bolts per hour. The combined number of fender bolts and bumper bolts the packaging department can handle is 230 per hour. What inequalities describe the constraints on each type of bolt produced?

I got one equation:

130x + 120y= 230.
Can you help me find the other one?

Thanks!

Classic car lovers in Doha the capital of Qatar are willing to face the bumps to go after their passion. Classic, Antique or some may call vintage cars until very recently appeared to be a territory only the rich royalties and the VIPs are allowed to enter. However, this perception has gradually changed, and now the market holds possibilities for even the enthusiasts that are willing to spare a bit over a hundred-thousand Qatari Riyals the equivalent to twenty-thousands US Dollars. This became possible due to the economic boom the area is witnessing, efficient communications with classic car dealers in Houston, along with the superior supply chain management allowed cars in Houston to be transported at low costs.

It now became possible for a knowledgeable enthusiast, with patience, and time at their disposal to buy classic car in Qatar, or an antique car in Dubai, or even a classic car to be shipped from Houston. It became possible to start the process with the equivalent of three thousand US dollars, or in other words for less than the ca was worth in the seventies or eighties.

This however sometimes holds true, and sometimes does not. For instance, Morris Minors was valued in Dubai and Qatar at about QR 15,000 in the eighties. It is very difficult to sell such a car for QR 10,000 in 2007 according to a car dealer. Cars that were easy on the pocket back in their peaking days are unlikely to hold value over the years. Hence, exceptions always pop up, for instance this fact doesn’t hold true with the iconic mini.

I respect, and always reflect my articles with both mine and the apposing; however I do not see a Qatar classic car dealer’s opinion holding true. He said “The classic car market, if it can be called that, will flourish because people have bought [these cars] for nostalgia and recreation — not for financial gain,” says a dealer in classic cars. “Most people, who have bought a classic car in the last ten years, knew their cars would have seen a rise on the value.” To contradict, According to Classic Car magazine, the US has seen a growth in the market for classic cars, particularly American sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s. Cars, such as Chevrolet Corvettes and Camaros, Ford Thunderbirds and Pontiacs, are said to have doubled in value over the past three years.

As I have been promising throughout the article series dedicated to Qatar classic car, the research journey has not stopped, rather the more research I make, the more I am interested to learn about the differences in tastes and markets.

Antique automobiles are an excellent hobby for anyone that enjoys the thrill of the open road, and the wonders of machinery. From repairs to fine tuning to the all-gratifying test drive, spending your spare time with antique automobiles can be one of life’s more enjoyable experiences. But have you ever considered the money making potential in trading in antique automobiles? Collectors up and down the country, and indeed over the world, share a common passion for automobiles and accessories of a certain era, and becoming involved in that kind of trade particularly if you share that passion could be a very lucrative move.

There are loads of different ways in which you can become involved in trading antique cars and car parts. It might be that you currently own a classic car of your own, or that you’re thinking about buying one to start things off. From there you could end up trading up to bigger and better, more expensive models, ultimately working up to a collection that can enhanced and sold off. Alternatively, some like to begin by buying and selling specific rare car parts to other collectors and dealers in order to turn a pretty penny. Still this can be a great way to get an idea of the marketplace, and trading antique parts in general.

The beauty with trading antique automobiles and parts is that it’s something that can be done in your spare time, or potentially as a full time income. What’s more, it’s an excellent way to indulge in your hobby if you have a particular liking for antique cars. As a dealer you’ll be able to experience most of the cars you ever wanted to try, before turning them over for a profit. Simply by finding old neglected pieces and showing them some TLC, you can have fun doing what you love the most while also making a handsome profit at the end of the day.

For the trader in antique automobiles and automobile parts the Internet has given rise to a myriad of opportunities for making money from your passion. From finding obscure car parts to picking up your next project piece, right through to actually selling your work, the Internet is a cost effective advertising platform for your business to draw benefit. Online auction sites can be a good place to start for picking up bits and pieces, while you might like to consider designing your own brochure site for selling off your antique collection.

Trading in antique cars is a great starting point for anyone looking to make a bit of extra income in the spare time while indulging their love of cars. Thanks to the Internet it is now easier than ever before to enter the market, and doing so is continually costing less and less for the part-time would-be dealer. With a little determination, and a desire to make your passion into a part time business, you too could soon be working with the antique cars of your dreams while earning a supplemental second income.

My parents own two antique cars: a black ‘51 buick and a red ‘66 T-Bird with tan hardtop. My mother’s t-bird has a 390 V-8 motor under the hood; the buick has a straight-8. My point? I just bought myself a brand new 2006 GMC 4-door with a 4.8 V-8 motor. I get 16 mpg in town, and about 21 mpg on the highway. Curiously, I find my mother’s T-Bird gets close to the same gas mileage, yet her car is made of solid steel and iron with a huge motor. If today’s cars are supposed to be more advanced and fuel efficient, why didn’t they put a motor in my truck that can get 50 mpg, or 100? Also, my mother’s T-Bird can pull a boat, camper, trailer – anything you can think of because of it’s huge transmission and engine plus the steel frame. If I tried that with a 2006 T-Bird, I’d rip out the transmission because of the strain. Today, I’d have to spend $40,000+ on a diesel truck to do the same job. Does it seem like the American people are being ripped off?

Having an old car can be a pretty neat experience. Everyone knows that certain older cars might be considered antiques or classics. But how is one to know which is which? It isn’t always easy, especially if you aren’t an especially extreme car lover. Determining if your car is an antique will require some time and research on your part. This is something that tends to be a little fuzzy around the edges and not always so clearly defined. Don’t be surprised if you turn up some conflicting information. Antique cars are not something that everyone agrees on.

The exact definition of an antique car tends to be a highly debated topic. The Classic Car Club of America states that an antique car is one that was manufactured before the year 1948. It is likely that you will come across sites and organizations that do not agree with this and instead have different years listed. If you need the information for insurance purposes then your best bet is to get the details directly from your insurance company. They will have their own regulations and specifications regarding what make your car considered an antique.

Most antique cars are considered to be those that were built before World War I. During the war auto production was brought to a halt and the manufacturing facilities were used to make war vehicles. Those cars made before the war are considered very rare today and many of them are worth millions of dollars due to that rarity. Of course the rareness of a certain model can directly affect if it is labeled as a classic or antique. Availability certainly does play a role in determining what makes a car antique.

There are many neat tidbits of information that comes from antique cars. Many people for instance do not know where the Mercedes received its name from. An Austrian man contracted Daimler to create a fleet of 30 cars for him. He wished them to be called Mercedes, which was the name of his own daughter. This is interesting since that name has once again become a common name for girls. Many don’t know that it started out that way all along.

The early designs of vehicles should be appreciated and respected regardless of their classic, vintage or antique status. They are the direct link to the cars we all love and drive today. The very first cars were nothing like modern day vehicles. They had no windshield and no safety features. It’s astounding to see the way the vehicle has evolved since the days of the original antiques.

It is important to note that a classic car and an antique one are not at all the same thing. They have differing definitions and are not grouped together. Classic cars tend to be sports or muscle cars from the 1950s to the 1970s. However, like antiques, the exact years seem to change depending on your source. Seek out a professional for an expert opinion on antique cars if you find these sources to be lacking.
