How would you like to drive a brand-new car for free? Or, even better, get paid to drive your own car?
Imagine driving a new car that someone else has paid for. You don’t have to buy it, pay a deposit, take out a lease or sign a Hire-Purchase agreement. All you pay for is the petrol you use, and your own car insurance. Stuff you would have to pay for in anycase if you drive your own car.
It may sound too good to be true but there are actually companies that will give you a new car to drive around in. No, the car does not belong to you so you can’t sell it, and once you’ve driven it for a specified time or distance you have to return it to the company. So you don’t get to keep it.
Once you’ve returned their car they will then give you a new car to drive around in. The only catch is that the car they give you has to be your primary car, and you have to be the principal driver – in other words you should use their car as much as you can, and you’re not allowed to let other people borrow it. No worries, I’ll drive their car as much as I can thanks!
All you need is to be a resident of the USA, the UK, France, Spain, or Canada, you need a valid driving license with no violations on it and you need to be 18 years old or older.
Should you prefer you can drive your own car, you will then get paid every month for displaying an advertisement from the sponsor on your car.
While you can’t really choose the exact car you want (I would have chosen a Ferrari if I could have!) you will have some choice between models. It all depends on what is available at the time. Obviously they wouldn’t expect someone with four kids to drive a two seat convertible, and neither would they expect a newly married twenty-something year old to drive a ten seater people carrier.
In these times when cars are so ridiculously expensive this is a very handy method of saving some extra cash every month instead of spending it on a car that loses value from the moment you drive it out of the showroom.
Go ahead, take a look and see if you qualify on my Squidoo page dealing with the subject. What do you have to lose?

The biggest con of them all (people of all beliefs)?
There are lots of varieties of cons. However, if you see these three things, it is ALWAYS a con and you will not only not get what you think you are getting, but you will loose something in the bargain.
1. The Big Lie. It works because it is so unbelievable that no one would make up such a story, therefore is must be true.
2. Something for nothing. This one sets your greed button and causes you yourself to come up with rationalizations for the ‘red flags’ you are seeing. You come up with the plausible reasoning yourself as to why you should believe them (let alone your willingness to believe their excesses).
3. You must prove you are trustworthy (or worthy of such a windfall). This works because, how we honest people prove we are trustworthy, is by being trusting. We overtly trust them, show them our soft underbelly. We wouldn’t do that (in our own minds) unless we were trustworthy (worthy) ourselves.
So, if you see these three things, run away. It is ALWAYS a scam. Incidentally, the Christian evangelists that have come up to me offering their wares (a free trip to heaven) have offered all three of these warning signs: The big lie (God killed his own son because it was the only way for the rest of us to get to heaven), something for nothing (all I have to do to get to heaven is to believe this story), and I must prove I’m worthy (I cannot get to heaven unless I believe this story, no matter how good of a person I am otherwise). RUN AWAY!

Humanity is the biggest con of them all because humanity believes he has all the answers to life.

Oh good! None of these three apply to my religion (eclectic Paganism). Thank you for posting this (I actually mean that, it’s not sarcasm). It’s good for people to keep these things in mind.

people lie all the time- even satan will come disguised as an angel of light. THAT is why we have a bible to read and test to see if people are scriptural telling the truth. Beware of false prophets for there are many. God does not expect you to take the word of man-He wants you to challenge it.

In addition, they use tactics like framing (presenting their beliefs in a very particular way to show them in the best possible light when, if it were restated more plainly, they would not be palatable). << Note here this is why you often hear Christians puting forward ideas in nearly identical ways. That is because the idea itself is subsidiary to the spin and emotional content.
They create a since of urgency – "You’re only a heartbeat away from eternity. Areyou ready to face your creator and be judged".
They use guilt tactics.
Very many things they do are bread and butter for propaganda and sales.
