Is it really possible to get a free car? I had to do some research on this one...

The easy and short answer to this question is yes.  Some companies are offering a free car if you allow advertising to be displayed on the car.  The link to one of those companies can be found below on this post.   I have scoured the Internet for websites that offer a free car without any kind of gimmick or attachment and I have not found anything of value except for the advertsing companies that provide a free car if the driver is willing to have various kinds of ads posted on the car.


Considering the cost of a car these days, that does not sound like a bad deal at all.


At  http://www.drivefreecar.co.uk/ "All you need to do is drive a certain amount of mileage every day and agree to the car carrying advertising like you see on rally cars and taxis."  That sounds OK.


At that website you will find a locator tab.  To find if a free car for advertising offer is available in your area all you need to do is enter your enter in the city or area that you will be driving in.  So, I clicked on the tab and a drop down menu showed with all of the cities.  However, all the cities were in the United Kingdom.  I could not find anything for Bangkok, Bejing, or Moscow.  Hmm.  Well, OK, every offer must be strictly for cities in Great Britain.  So, I clicked on the city of Sussex.  And I waited.  An instant later a new window opened and wallah! a car was available?

"Congratulations!

Drive free car finder has found
programmes available in your area."

But was it really for free?  I probably did not correctly understand the ad but this is what I saw. I am not an attorney.  That is what probably contributed to my reading error.

"The Drive Free Car Lifetime Membership: £14.95

Limited Time Offer Only: £7.95!"

I am just an ordinary guy with ordinary average reading ability.  So I probably missed something in the fine print.  However, it seems that driving the car for free is a true statement.  But, you have to be a member to drive the free car.  The cost for the membership as of this writing was L7.95.  How much is that in American dollars.  It equals US$13.0016.

That's thirteen dollars for a lifetime membership.  I suppose for some people that is not too much to spend for a lifetime membership.  If I had 13 dollars on me right now I would probably sign-up before all the memberships were taken.  Now know that I don't live in Great Britain.  It is one of the countries I have never visited.  I have no plans to visit there.  But, and there are a of buts in life, if I ever had to go to Great Britain I would be assured of getting a free car in some city, I assume, because I had a life time membership.  Life time memberships kind of have a cozy feeling to them, similar to the feeling that a person will always have their parents alive or that they'll always have money in the bank.  I guess it is a feeling of security.

Now there are other ways to get a free car, but for a limited amount of time.  I was offered to drive a car from the west coast of Oregon to North Carolina.  I needed to go to North Carolina to check out my housing accomodation on the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.  I had been accepted as a student at the university through the National Student Exchange Program through Southern Oregon University where I was a student.  It was a one-way drive.  I was paid a few hundred dollars and the drive took ten days.  I slept in the car and ate on the road.  I saved money that I would have otherwise had to spend on transportation from the West coast to the East coast.  So that worked out fine.  So, it is possible to get a free car and the possibilites may be a bit limited but it is possible.

Years ago I read in a California news paper where a new Jauguar was being given away for one U.S. dollar.  I didn't act quick enough.  Someone got there first.  The seller was a disgruntled and very angry maiden, young and beautiful, who had been jilted by her boyfriend.  The boyfriend had given her the Jaguar as a gift when at a time in the development of the romance when everything was coming up roses.  Then, one day, beautiful lips that ordinarilly offered honey began spitting venom like a cobra and the relationship quickly deteriorated.  For spite, and to help heal a badly broken heart, the fair maiden put up the Jaquar for a dollar, and sold it.  


There are cars for free but the free car enthusiast must read the newspapers and watch for the advertisements.  I have made that easy!  Google Blogger offers a free topic finder newspaper search engine to its Bloggers, ones such as me.  This Google topic finder search engine works simply as this.  When you click on newspaper feeds during the page design process, a window opens.  The webpage designer clicks on the window for the search topic.  I entered the terms "FREE CAR" into that search engine window.  Google computer servers then scan all of the many newspapers of the WORLD for those key terms, FREE CAR.  Now, here is the good news.  If there is anyone posting information in any one of those news papers anything about a FREE CAR, then that news story will be captured by the huge Google computer servers and displayed on the writer's webpage, just like this one.  It might be handy to bookmark this page and stop by every other day to see if there is the appearance of a newsfeed featuring the key topic words, FREE CAR.
