Are you looking for an affordable way to beautify the hood of your car, truck, golf cart, or big rig? Don't look far! There are numerous and affordable hood ornaments to enhance the front of your vehicle or rig without breaking the bank. Today's contemporary mascots are more fashionable, universal and inexpensive
The classic vintage style mascots were vehicle specific or for all intents and purposes, company logos like the Rolls Royce Spirit of Ecstasy, Dodge Ram Head or the Mercedes Benz Star. In reality, it is still used as a company logo. The difference is obvious; instead of installing the ornament on the hood, it is presently displayed on the grille. Even though, it still exist for some manufacturers like Rolls Royce or Bentley Motorcars, the likes of companies such as Honda, Jaguar, Ford, Buick, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan and more recently, Cadillac and Jaguar are displaying the factory logo ornament on the grille.
Out with the old and in with the new. No matter where today's manufacturer decide to place their mascot or logo, we should concern ourselves with the more current contemporary style ornaments like the flying lady or the flying goddess, the sexy lady, the nude lady or the wing style hood ornaments. If you have ever thought of adorning a present-day hood gem on your car, truck, golf cart, boat or even a big rig, it is very much do-able.
One popular trend that is visible with today's mascot is that they are universal. Besides the numerous designs available, they are universal and will basically fit most vehicles with a flat hood. Unlike the vintage ornaments of past years, they are custom fitted to the hood lines and curve of each individual vehicle, and as such, almost impractical to fit any other model. The present-day ornaments are not only universal; they offer a much more modern design and options. Whatever your taste, there are modern designs available; nude ladies, flying ladies, atlas, sitting ladies, winged ladies, animals, birds and replicas of vintage ornaments like the 1931 and 1941 Cadillac style ornaments.
If you have ever thought about purchasing a vintage hood ornament, you know how hard and expensive to find a cheap one. And beside the exorbitant prices tagged on the ornaments, you more than likely will spend additional funds to restore it to its original mode. One striking note to finding a genuine hood ornament is the lack of authenticity. Too many fakes are showcased everywhere especially on the internet. Why waste precious time and money when the modern styles crafted by either Gem Manufacturing or Grand General are easily and readily available. The modern day mascots are real cheap and affordable, and can be found everywhere online and offline.
If you are looking for a more modern, easy-fit, affordable, trendy and inexpensive ornament to adorn on the hood of your automobile, you now have options that will offer a distinguished setting to your ride without creating a hole in your wallet.

Corvette Corvette Corvette Classic Stock Or Hot-Rodded?
The introduction of the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray heralded major changes in the march onward in the Chevrolet Stingray. The Sting Ray was available as both a "Roadster "version with a removable hardtop and a "Coupe" sometimes referred to as a fastback.
Onwards from 1963 to 1967 the Sting Ray got even better with a greater number of options for both luxury and power performance. This was the heyday of the days of sports car customizers. And the Corvette Sting Ray was the perfect 100 % raw material for the sports car customizers. Headlights were molded and in and the bumpers were removed. So many Corvettes received an extra pair of taillights that people that they were actually a General Motors Chevrolet Corvette factory option. Later when the low profile wide tires came along, so did large fender flares. The speed equipment industry had boomed, so the majority of Corvette engine parts were being replaced by the latest: Hot Setup". Rochester fuel injectors were being removed because of service problems, and everyone heard that the single four barrel in a high riser manifold was better. In 1965 the first Chevy big-block was introduced in the Corvette, and the performance was more than awesome.
Another new body style - both larger and heavier was introduced in 1968. Many thought that this was the beginning of the decline of the Corvette, But in the vital performance department, the 427 cubic inches Rat Motor with its three two-barrel carbs and the 435 horse power ratings more than powered the Corvette legend of lore. No letting down of the powerful image of the 'Vette.
Things got even better right on up to the 1969 L-88with aluminum cylinder heads the 1970 LS-6 rated at a mighty 465 horse power rating. The word Corvette invokes the image of high performance sports car performance. An older age group replaced the street racer cult as the primary consumers and purchasers of the Vette. More and more of the Corvettes were equipped with such luxury and comfort options as air conditioning, power steering and telescoping steering columns. It was not long before the Corvette with emission devices and soon the real 'Vette type of performance was history.
What was more than interesting was the response original hot rodder modification group. The amazing part of all of this is how the circle came round. Karma sneaks in.
The same dedicated group of sport car enthusiasts and hot rodders, who modified the older, pre mainstream luxury comfort model Corvettes, is now the very ones who restore this same converted Corvette back to exact stock specifications.
How could these people justify the work and effort of taking these cars back in time to factory specs when a great amount of time, effort and cost had been invested in these very cars? A used Corvette at the time was essentially a very attractive sports car buy.
Why were restore cars in vogue and even preferred over the earlier modified ones. Partially it was a case of limited supply and very high prices being offered by the stock type Corvettes and classic car auctions and the prices being asked in the special car groups and publications. All in all it can be said it can be a combination of the custom cars getting old and needing refurbishing and the 55 mile speed limit in the time. Perhaps as well it was a question of maturity on the kids who were the Corvette hot rodders at the time. See the influence of time, life and having a family with its change of priorities can have on the wildest kids.

What is the best way to create levels in a rat cage?
I've just aquired my rat cage for my future rats and it needs lots of interesting stuff for them! I believe it's 36 inches long, 14 inches high, and 14 inches wide. There's enough space to put, at least, one more level, but I need help figuring out how and what materials I should be using. I've read about using wood and wooden rods to create ladders and such, but I'm more worried about the actual second story, if you get what I mean. How do I attach a piece of wood or other kind of material securely to the side, and still have it able to come off for cleaning? Any ideas?
<3,
Malz
I built a large cage for my chinchillas and used custom built ledges that can easily attach and be taken off. They were modeled after chinchillas leaping Ledges:

However, I just bought a pice of pine wood and cut it to my specifications (you can make them for corners, or straight across), then you get a bolt thing and a washer and one of those wing shaped metal pieces (sorry, my tool lingo is not that good, but you can see these things from the example pictures). You drill a hole and screw in the bolt thing, then you can attach it to metal bars by putting the washer on the outside of the cage and then screwing the wing shaped thing in. You can put multiple bolts on each side of the ledge to help support it (again, please see pictures). When you want to clean it, just unscrew. Pine wipes down easily.
If you dont want to build, go to any pet store and go to the chinchilla section. You can buy a couple of the smaller ledges and put them side by side to create a bigger platform. Few satores carry the larger ones.
You can also do this with one of thoise parrot branches, or buy one in the bird section at the pet store. They usually come equipped with the hardware to attach them to a cage. You can also find your ladders here too.
You might also consider a rodent hammock (hangs from the top of the cage, kind of like another fun level), usually in the ferret section. Or a plastic platform from the store with those plastic tubes in it. Rats and mice love running thru these things.
Good luck!
Lessons from the Puddle
Only recently I have come to understand the lessons I learned from a tiny puddle of muddy water in northern Lamar County, Texas, called The Pool. In other parts of the state it is called a stock pond, a pond, or a tank. For the uninitiated, that means cows drink from it.
Thanks for visiting!
