We now have almost 400 cars submitted to the site and have recently been approached regarding advertising opportunities. (All without having spent a dime on marketing so far) In a recent development, showitortowit.com was featured on the website KillerStartups.com.

KillerStartups.com is a user driven internet startups community. Entrepreneurs, investors, and bloggers are using KillerStartups.com to stay informed on up-and-coming internet startups.

Here is an excerpt from the write-up on KillerStartups.com:
Sites that let users post a picture of themselves in order to be rated by the online community are nothing new. They have been proliferating ever since “Hot Or Not” saw the light of the day some years ago. Show It Or Tow It is one social rating site, but it has one distinctive feature – the photographs that are submitted are that of cars, and site users can vote on them from 1 to 10 – 1 standing for “Tow It” and 10 for “Show It”, naturally.

The site also makes for sharing the spots where car lovers hang out online, effectively acting as a showcase for car communities the world over.

Moreover, Show It Or Tow It doubles as a platform for the trading of vehicles, as cars can be sold through the website by way of the “Classifieds” section. Read The Full Article.

About a month ago I wrote about the upcoming President Obama backed/Government-Funded Cash for Clunkers program. The program was recently launched and the response has been mind-blowing. Car and truck owners looking to get rid of their gas guzzlers are flocking to dealerships to take advantage of the “cash for clunkers” program and get themselves a more fuel efficient vehicle.

Dave Kelleher, owner of two Chrysler dealerships outside Philadelphia said the number of shoppers has more than doubled at one of his dealerships and is climbing at the other.

“The last two days have been ripping,” said Kelleher.

The only problem is, that there is a limited amount of money that has been set aside for the “Cash for Clunkers” program. And according to insiders, at the current rate the money will run out by the end of August. So you’d better act fast if you want to take advantange of this offer.

Here is a recap of the “Cash for Clunkers” program:

Under the program, trade-in vehicles must be 1984 models or newer and have average fuel economy of no more than 18 miles per gallon. The new car or truck must get better gas mileage than the one that was scrapped. The payoff amount increases depending on the difference in the fuel efficiencies of the old and new cars. For instance, a new car getting at least 4 more miles per gallon than the old car will be eligible for a $3,500 voucher. Whereas a new car getting at least 10 more miles per gallon would get a $4,500 voucher.

To guarantee vehicles are actually roadworthy — and not just sitting on cinder blocks — trade-ins must be registered and insured to the same owner for at least a year.

So I figured I’d better go ahead and put in my request and see what happens.

Today, to my surprise I received an email letting me know I was in. Which makes me wonder…why did I get my number so fast? Maybe it was because I was an early Gmail user. Gmail was launched as an invitation only Beta release on April 1, 2004. I knew someone who was an early Beta test participant at the University of Texas and they sent me an invite on April 10,2006. (I signed up that day) Gmail wasn’t lauched to the rest of the public until Feb 7, 2007. So I wonder…are early Gmail users getting first dibs on Google Voice Phone Numbers? I don’t have the answer to that question, but what I do have is a killer San Francisco area phone number that I will keep for life! My new Google Voice Phone Number is (650) 866-XXXX. Now that’s a nice number. What do you think?

Check out the email I received below:
