Environmental Spotlight: Honda FCX Clarity

GOING GREENER WITH HONDA!

Honda has paced the industry in the development and deployment of zero-emissions hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology as well as the refueling infrastructure that will be required to take it to the mass market.

Honda's next-generation fuel cell car, the FCX Clarity, is the only fuel cell vehicle (FCV) built from the ground up as a FCV, and it is the first to be mass produced on a dedicated production line.

Jimmie Johnson gave Rick Hendrick his 13th win at Dover, the most by any team owner.

Johnson up to second in standings

Johnson won the pole, led the most laps (191) and scored maximum points (195) as he vaulted four positions to second in the Cup standings.

"It's a huge weight off my shoulders that we were able to come here and win a race in the Chase, rebound from last week," said Johnson, who won for the sixth time this season, the sixth time at Dover and the third time in the past four races at the Monster Mile.

With 53 Cup victories, Johnson is 10th all time, one behind Lee Petty and two behind Rusty Wallace.

Johnson regained the lead from Carl Edwards on Lap 366 of 400, when Edwards brought his No. 99 Ford to pit road during a cycle of green-flag stops. Johnson pulled away from Burton the final 35 laps.

"[Sunday] is a great day for us, because it shows us what we are capable of and the fact that we can win races and be competitive in this Chase," Johnson said. "This summer was hard on us -- there's no way around that. We had bad races and finished bad. We had good races and finished bad. So it's nice to do things start-to-finish all weekend long on the right foot."

Jimmie Johnson won his 53rd Cup Series race in his 319th start. This is Johnson's 15th top-10 finish in 2010.

Redfish tourney to aid needy families at Thanksgiving

RUSKIN — Redfish will be the catch of the day at an upcoming event, organized by the South Shore Anglers.



The fishing club will host its third annual longest redfish tournament starting tonight, and continuing tomorrow


For the second consecutive year, proceeds from the event will benefit the South Shore Big Give.


"Our goal isn't to get a certain amount of anglers to our event or hit a certain fundraising number," said Tiger Hoffman, president of the South Shore Anglers. "We just want to raise some money for them and do our part."


The Big Give - a volunteer-driven collaboration between area businesses and organizations that has helped feed hundreds of homeless and hungry families on Thanksgiving the past two years - began as an initiative of Beth Howard, co-owner and manager of the South Shore Gallery in Apollo Beach.


Last year, Beanie's Family Sports Grill in Ruskin hosted the South Shore Big Give, which fed about 500 people. Beanie's will also be the site of the captain's meeting and weigh-in for the redfish tournament.


This year, the Big Give is expanding.
Instead of coming to Beanie's, a group of area churches and other civic organizations will host diners at their venues, with food provided by Beanie's. Volunteers will serve the prepared feast and deliver dinners.

"I just figured that, instead of paying $500 or $600 for a tent like I did last year to accommodate people here, that money would be better spent on helping feed more people," said Donald "Beanie" Tichy, owner of Beanie's.

Honda Cars of Bradenton, Mike King with a nice Redfish!

Tichy said four churches in Ruskin - Northside Baptist, Southside Baptist, Ruskin Methodist and Destiny - have already agreed to participate. He is also in discussions with churches in Sun City Center and hopes to feed between 600 and 700 people this year.


"During times of need, I think people are more likely to go to a church anyway," Tichy said.


The redfish tournament is the latest charitable effort from the South Shore Anglers, which has helped raised money for the Bloomingdale Library attack victim, the Riverview High School football program and Wildlife Rescue Ministries.


"Anything we can to help charities in the area, we're more than happy to do," Hoffman said.

Schools in Session: What's the best first car?

School's back in session all over Florida. And for many parents, it's decision time: Do you continue driving your teenager or college student wherever they need to go or provide some wheels of their own?

Bottom line: If you, and they, are in the market for a first car, there are plenty of decisions to make: New or used? Big or small? Here are some talking points to help you along.

The family car: You may already have the best first car. It's a tradition, and often a good one, for a teen to inherit the family car. It's a known quantity – you are familiar with its repair history – and there's a good chance your teen is familiar with it, because it may be the car in which he or she learned how to drive. The car is also known to your insurance agent and carrier.

"What's the best car for a first?" It's a great question to ask, but it usually seems to be followed up with, "I want the BMW or the Corvette ZR1?"

The best advice I can offer in this situation is to look for the smartest car for a first time driver.

Get pre-approved. It’s easy and most can even be approved online within 24hrs at Hondacarsbradenton.com

Comfortably afford. Monthly payments for high end cars, you know, can be huge.

So, what is the smartest "best" car for a first? Based on what we've covered above, it would be a car that you can easily get approved for and comfortably afford. In addition, you'll want to look at a car that serves your needs (i.e. gets you to work, to school, can hold your stuff, gets good gas mileage, etc.) and not so much your wants (i.e. lifted truck, flashy sports car, etc.), although you may still be able to find one that serves both, your needs should be priority one.

Honda Cars of Bradenton has one of the largest pre-owned inventories in the area, with many options for the first time driver. Come by or give us a call, we are open 7 days a week!

A funny, but relevant, saying to keep in mind is "that you are just dating your first car and not marrying it."

Honda Makes 3 in Top 10 Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

Today's economy presents some enticing alternatives to buying new.

Honda Accord

When it comes time to buy a car, consumers basically have two choices: new or used. Buying new will cost you, but you'll get all the latest bells and whistles, a comprehensive manufacturer warranty and the peace of mind that you're not purchasing a vehicle that has been put through the wringer. Go the used route, and you typically get more for your money. However, you never know if you'll get a peach or a lemon — or do you?

Honda Odyssey Touring Elite

There's a relatively new type of used car on the market that offers the advantages of buying both new and used. That is, you get more for every dollar spent, as well as the solace of knowing that the vehicle's health and well-being is guaranteed by the vehicle's manufacturer or an independent agency. It goes by many names, but is most commonly known as certified pre-owned (CPO).

Heres a link to read more on the three Honda's as well as the other 7.
