Check My Ride Giveaway – Win $200 in Gas Cards

I’m giving away $200 in gas cards on my blog! Today’s giveaway is sponsored by Check My Ride (Facebook | Twitter), which is a website created by Experian Automotive (provider of AutoCheck vehicle history reports). Anyone can can create a free profile on Check My Ride and share their vehicle history and car stories.

My first car was a Plymouth Valiant. It wasn’t cool, but at least I had a car to drive when I was in college. The first car I was proud to own was an Eagle Talon. Now that was a sporty car. It’s too bad I don’t have the VIN numbers for my old cars. Then I could use the Where in the World is my Car tool to find out where my old cars are. I did use the tool to check up on my current car:

My Toyota Camry at Oregon Health Science University (OHSU)

According to the Check My Ride tool, my Toyota Camry was last seen at the Oregon Health Science University campus. I’m not sure how the data was obtained, but my guess is that hospital security must have run a check on my car because it was parked there so often. In 2007, our third child was hospitalized at OHSU for a week. In addition, our fourth child was also admitted to OHSU hospital several times in 2009 and 2010 for his many health problems. Luckily, we have not had to make a trip to the hospital this year.

Another cool feature of the Check My Ride site is the free AutoCheck vehicle history report. AutoCheck includes reports like accidents, title problems, mileage, vehicle use (ie: rental, taxi, government, etc), and ownership history. You can only get one free report, so select your vehicle wisely. Here’s part of my free car report:
