As you can probably tell I am a graduate, who is currently looking at jobs I wish to apply for but I am lacking in experience. So I am trying to style a seeking but specific cover letter at the same time, I don’t know whether this would be a negative move from me or not. Could you please please please review my grammar. Anyway I have two cover letters that I have used as of late but I do not feel they would be as strong as the one I have posted above, but for your reference to understand where I am coming from I shall add both here too.

1st paragraph– ‘inquire’ is more common and accepted that ‘enquire’ though they mean the same thing (wait, are you in Great Britain? then ‘enquire’ is okay.;

3rd paragraph. are you sure you want to say ‘invaluable’? you want a word that sets you apart from other grads and job seekers but telling someone they can’t live without you doesn’t sound quite right.

US SPEC INFORMATION: The 2009 Nissan GT-R will go on sale in the United States in June of 2008 with a base price of $69,850. The premium model will sell for $71,900, and will include a Bose sound system, side airbags, and heated seats. The Bose system consists of 11 speakers mounted in rigid aluminum diecast panels. The car’s pre-order program, available through select US dealers, will begin in January.

2009 Nissan GT-R: Awesome From Afar

The 2009 Nissan GT-R has broken cover. Or rather, several well-known automotive media outlets have blown its cover! When the December 2007 cover of Motor Trend got leaked (or swiped) from the printer, press embargoes were tossed aside, along with it the thin veil of secrecy the GT-R was still hiding. Namely its off-the-chart performance numbers: 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, 11.7-second quarter mile, and top speed of 193 mph. Better still, the supercar is expected to be in the amazingly affordable $70-80K range.

Unveiled at Last

The black covers that hid the GT-R’s nose are gone and reveal a chiseled carbon fiber nose piece, flanked on both sides by small canards molded into the bumper itself. Look closely, and you can see how the deep front splitter directs air to the radiator and around the car. The sleek shape of the new R35 is a commendably slick 0.27 Cd (co-efficient of drag). Twin NACA ducts in the hood channel air directly to the small IHI turbos located underneath. They’re not the only low-drag aero devices used on the car, either. The front fenders have functional air ducts that sweep back from the sides of the car, drawing heat away from the engine compartment. One detail not readily apparent is the rear carbon-fiber splitter that uses airflow under the chassis to develop downforce. While standard practice for LeMans prototypes, these types of details are reserved for only a few road-going machines. Nissan engineers knew the enormous performance envelope for this car would require every (aero) trick in the book! Rear styling of the R35 features the iconic twin round taillights of the GT-R series. All in all, Nissan stylists have created a modern, functional shape that pays appropriate homage to the legendary line.

V-6 Power First for GT-R

Looking under the hood of the new PM (Prime Midship) chassis reveals the front-mounted engine is mounted far back for better weight distribution. But there’s no blown straight six for this thoroughly modern supercar. The new twin turbocharged 3.8 liter V-6 is named the VR38 and puts out 473 hp at 6,400 rpm and 433 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm in its initial state of tune. No doubt Nissan will have more on tap for the future, but all appearances suggest that this is the engine to be federalized for North American use. Expect the compact IHI turbos to have little to none of the dreaded turbo lag of years past. An extremely clean turbo installation utilizes separate plenums and tuned intake runners for each bank of the engine. Expect to hear more details on this amazing powerplant in the near future.

Meanwhile, a carbon fiber prop shaft transfers power to the rear- mounted transaxle. Utilizing a six-speed, direct-drive semi-automatic gearbox, Nissan’s latest AWD creation can vary power delivery from 50/50 (front/rear) to 2/98 for heavy acceleration. By utilizing the paddle shifters, GT-R pilots may sample full-throttle, no lift upshifts, and computer-guided downshifts with full rev matching. The GT-R’s suspension is more familiar, with twin wishbones up front and a five-link rear. The dampers are electronically controlled, with three separate programs (race, sport and comfort) available at the touch of a button. More extreme are the 20” alloy wheels with massive six-piston Brembo (front) and four-piston (rear) calipers with equally enormous 15.2” rotors. You’ll need that kind of stopping power, as the latest R35 is expected to tip the scales at a touch over 3,792 pounds.

Silken Hammer

Inside the cockpit, it’s luxury blended with pure performance. Racing-style leather seats with large side bolsters will hold you (and your passengers) in place, although I’m not sure anyone really wants to be tossed around in the smallish 2+2 seats in back! A beautifully sculpted instrument panel features a center-mounted tach (with a 7K redline) and a smaller speedo on the left. The instruments move up and down with the steering wheel, so each driver can find the perfect position. Nissan continues their superb job in blending traditional control surfaces with cutting edge technology. A good example is the center stack with traditional HVAC controls in the center and a large video screen just above this. Toggling through this display provides such diverse information as turbo boost, g-loadings, engine performance parameters and which of the really hot girls is lusting for a ride in your new GT-R. OK, I made that last one up. Step into the new R35 and you’ll find everybody wants a ride!

Bad ass. I’ve wanted one since i saw the nurburgring shots 2 years ago. Nissan knows how to build it. Finally, godzilla in the us.

Please humor my idea for a moment. I had this idea for an eco-friendly car. Its basically the Ford Fusion only with solar panels covering the car with the fusion generator that is already currently built into it (instead of using gas as a kickstart). The vehicle would gain solar power while the vehicle is parked which juices the battery. As you drive down the road, both axles turn, the gears turn for the generator (fusion) storing energy so the car maintains a solid energy source that can be manually toggled between solar and fusion power usage. I’m not an engineer, but I think at least some part of my idea could be used in creating an eco-friendly, sleek and very cool looking car (5 speed manual, 2 door, seats 4 adults, reflective silver or scratch resistant mirror-like material with black racing strips, the solar panels are built into the racing strips so that it blends into the design, limited power/automatic features so that the battery is not drained too much, vehicle uses 6 car batteries and 2 generators ). A second option is that we could simply buy the same alternative energy hybrid or fuel cell
vehicles that are used currently in the UK.

Something to think about:

Wow, 3 days and no answer. I guess no one reads this section and no one cares about using alternative energy for their vehicles. God help us all when we run out of oil. I guess we will just kill each other while fighting over gas and charge $100 per gallon of gas 20 years from now, so be it.

Solar panels make energy so slowly that your idea won’t work well. I believe you need to get into "the numbers" yourself. You don’t need to be a licensed engineer. "Build your own Electric Vehicle", a book by Seth Leitman and Bob Brant, 2009, is very readable even as it goes through many of the numbers you need. It doesn’t cover solar well so you’ll have to find a simple source describing how much power you’re really going to get.

What I found, when I looked at the idea of solar cars, was that a normal weight/size car was going to require 10,000 watts at normal speeds. Drive it for an hour and that 10,000 "watt-hours" or "10 kilowatt hours". Cars aren’t very big and the solar panels of that size will take a few days to replenish what you just expended. I discussed my disappointment on this with my cousin who’s been involved with the MIT solar car; he said "put the panels on your house"!

BTW, the MIT solar car is far from normal in many respects. The typical american driver wouldn’t even consider it a car. The MIT students are given cutting edge components by companies which want to help MIT. There’s no drive to make something remotely cost effective.

You’re not alone in your desires to find alternatives to gas-powered cars. Check out the EAA (www.eeaev.org), a group of people who convert ‘normal’ cars to electric; they certainly ‘know the numbers’.

Your idea of having 2 motors has been proposed by some. And the new EVs (Electric Vehicles) are designed with "direct drive" where a lot of the traditional gear train is omitted.

As for the few answers, realize that your question carried a lot of reading requests; many people probably didn’t want to spend the time to look at it all.

Ok so Im about to buy a new car from a friend and this is what it looks like (except hers is white):

http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Used-Cars/Small-Medium-Family-Prestige-Cars/AdNumber=TP000242840?BackToResult=true

Would this car look good all girled up like pink fluffy seat covers, stickers on the back windscreen and all that?
Im also a metal head listen to alot of death metal so would that just look weird a girly car with slipknot pumping out of the system?

please don’t do the pink thing it seems to be everywhere in every car and as you listen to metal in your car you are already individual as your not listening to the regular music that all sounds the same which comes out of every car.
So go with an individual look.

http://www.maxpower.co.uk/article.asp?asset=4065&p=6

white is a good colour to start from so have your own look i would say,as you sound individual.

Next to the steering system, the brakes are the most important system in a car. It is the driver’s most reliable ally when coming to a stop especially at high speeds. To improve brakes’ functions and performance, automotive engineers concentrate on minimizing injuries caused by collisions. These engineers take into consideration the moments before an expected impact.

The stability control systems of vehicles have increasingly become more capable of catching spins before a crash. Nowadays, brakes can be programmed to detect panic stops and use maximum force for undecided drivers. BMW, for one, boasts of its ‘active steering’ that can counter overly aggressive moves of drivers to produce the necessary emergency maneuver. The Infiniti brand also offers an auto safety feature that warns the driver when the car is drifting toward an adjacent lane. This is done to avoid fender-bender occurrences.

Advances in technology also produced systems that put the car into protective mode when sensors indicate a collision is impending. The protective mode cinches down seat belts and closed the sunroof and windows. There are also automakers that are working on using computers that are programmed to decide how aggressively to act depending on how closely the driver is paying attention to the road. So far, the newest braking technology covers brakes that apply on their own when a collision seems likely.

The Acura RL is equipped with the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), which monitors the following distance and closing rate between the RL and the car directly in front of it. The system warns the driver when a collision is forthcoming and helps reduce impact when a collision becomes inescapable. It alerts the driver by giving a warning tone and a flashing light on the dashboard. Then, it gently tugs the driver’s seat belt. Finally, the system applied the brakes forcefully to slow the car. It will happen without any action from the driver to prevent a rear collision. Acura’s braking system takes advantage of onboard computers in the car to control features like antilock brakes and pretensioners that pull seat belts taut in case of a collision.

The Lexus Pre-Collision System also operates the same way. When it detects an imminent collision, it retracts the seat belts and primes the brake system so that full braking power will be available immediately. Said system is an option on the Lexus LS and GS models. Volvo brakes already use the system to avoid accidents on the road.

The common denominator of all the pre-emptive braking systems is the adaptive cruise control. Unlike traditional speed controls produced to hold a steady speed, adaptive controls can also maintain a set distance to cars ahead. The car’s motions are in response to measurements from a laser or radar unit. The pre-emptive safety systems utilize existing sensors to monitor cars and stationary objects on the road to evaluate the possibility of a crash.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), of the 6.2 million crashes reported in the United States during 2004, more than 20 per cent were rear impacts. This is the primary reason why automotive engineers have rear end collisions as their logical starting point in creating more functional brakes.

While pre-emptive safety systems are now offered on only a few vehicles, they are expected to become more available in time. Mike Thoeny, an engineer at Delphi, the automotive supplier, said the company was working with several automakers to develop new applications, including systems that use a camera to differentiate moving objects from stationary ones. “By the end of the decade pre-emptive safety systems will also monitor the driver and tailor responses based on alertness, issuing a warning sooner if the driver’s eyes are not on the road. We have this technologically ready today,” Thoeny concluded. “It’s simply a matter of integrating it into the vehicle.”

I am getting tinkerbell for my car . it is a blue and purple design sorta . it includes .. two seat covers .. a steering wheel cover .. cd case(visor cliper) .. 4 floor mats for front and back ..
they look like this ….
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000BV823K/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive

what kinda things can i do to my car to make it look cool ? i was thinking light bright green lights underneath and around the license plate.
give me some ideas with pictures maybe ?

it’s hard to make a 92 tempo look cool. not picking on your car it is yours it’s a 92. don’t dump a ton of money into it bc it’s not going to last forever. if you know what i am suggesting. save the money you would have used to change it’s appearance. put it into a bank account. and when something fails. you have the money to either fix it or get another car.

I got a 1984 Lebaron car and I wanna get a seat cover the only problem is that it has a arm rest and I don’t know if I gotta buy the armrest piece also. I wanted to know if I can buy a Bucket seat cover without the arm rest will it fit over the seat properly or do I need to make adjustments

This is the seat I want to purchase

(http://www.amazon.com/Tinker-Pixie-Universal-fit-Bucket-Covers/dp/B000VXBBW2/ref=sr_1_146?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1209576056&sr=1-146)

If you’ve got the tools and knowhow, you should take off the armrest and then put the cover on. Having done this use the car for a week or so without the armrest, so the cover can ’sit’ in. Then find out where you need to make a hole in the cover to re-install the armrest. If you do it straight away you risk tearing the material because the hole might be in the wrong spot. Then each time you sit down it will pull down and ruin the cover..
