Want some Porsche Wallpapers & Screensavers

I’ve always enjoyed cars, trucks - vehicles of any kind really. I appreciate the workmanship and style especially of some of the fine cars.

Perhaps you enjoy nice cars as well? I know some people are quite the enthusiasts - purchasing car magazines regularly, going to car shows, collecting models and when possible, if they have the income even collecting a variety of cars.

Well I can’t afford to purchase a high end vehicle but I can dream.

If you dream of nice cars like I do you might be interested in visiting Vcars. Vcars is a company that specializes in helping clients find Used Cars. They have a network of over 50 manufacturer specific websites such as Audi, Honda, Ford, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen and they can help you find a used car in your area.

My favorite part of their site is downloads area. You can download screensavers and wallpapers for all of the major vehicle manufactures.

Since one of my favorite cars is the Porsche I gravitated towards that area to see what kind of Porsche Wallpapers they had.

I found four different Porche Wallpapers. You can download the Porsche Gemballa GTR 650 Avalanche Wallpaper, Porsche Cayenne Wallpaper, Porsche 911 Turbo Wallpaper and the Porsche Boxster Wallpaper. All of the wallpapers are of a steely blue design as if you were looking at the car at night time under street lights.

My favorite model out of that selection is the Porsche 911 Turbo. You can download the 911 or any of the wallpapers in a size that suits your computer monitor settings from 1280×1024, 1024×768 to 800×600. Just select the size you’d like and you’ll be taken to a new page with the correct wallpaper size where you can right click over the image and download it to your desktop or save as wallpaper right then and there.

I also like the fact that if you wanted to send one of the wallpapers or a screensaver to a friend you can simply fill out a form beside your download selection and send it to whomever you’d like.

The image that I included above is the Porche Screensaver. It’s a dynamic screensaver with a calendar and clock built right into it. I think it’s great. You can download the screensaver in a version for a PC, osX or Linux.

If you want a new screensaver or wallpaper for your computer check out the site. It’s free after all.

Too many birthdays this month

This is a busy month. We’re not only preparing for the holidays, but several of our relatives also have birthdays this month. Busy, busy, busy! To make things a little easier I went looking for greeting cards online and I found American Greetings. They have a large selection of ” happy birthday ” cards in stock. Some are free, and some are available only to subscribers of their service. After looking at the quality and variety of cards they have I think it would be worthwhile becoming a member.

I was surprised to find that not only do they have a variety of different types of birthday greeting cards- from funny, or animated, Family, belated, Over the Hill, to serious and mushy, plus there’s even ones for specific Birthdays such as a 40th. They also have Birthday invitations, printable birthday cards, and even a desk top calender that you can use to list the birthdays, important dates and anniversaries of all of your friends and loved ones. There’s a reminder service that goes along with that too! It’s pretty much a one stop shop for birthdays.

It’s really easy to send an e-card. Simply pick out the ones that interest you. I’m not a member yet so I went with the free cards to begin with, click on the card of your choice, take a look at it when it comes up on your screen, and then click on the Personalize and send button. You’ll be taken to another page where you can create a personal greeting and list the email address of the person that you are sending the card too, your email address so they know who it’s from and your very own personal greeting. You can even change the font colors in your personal greeting if you’d like. Birthday invitations work in a similar manner as I’ve described for the cards.

If you want to print out your own cards you need to register on the site first. You’ll get a one month free trial when you become a member. Once you are signed up go ahead and select the card you want to print out and follow the easy to understand directions.

Give it a try if you are like me and have a lot of upcoming Birthdays!
