This is what I am forced to watch on July 4th during the afternoon. David Aardsma. AARDSMA, PEOPLE. IS THIS NOT AMERICA?

As I sat on my couch, playing Nintendo DS (The World Ends With You, to be precise) and halfheartedly watching the Mariners/Red Sox game, I realized that it was indeed our Independence Day (well, maybe not you, devil_fingers - you communist). Though I don't have much in the way of articles for you (big surprise!), I have received a few requests for advertising on this site - and I figured what could be more American than telling people on Driveline Mechanics how you can help support our site?! That's capitalism at its finest, if you ask me.

Since we're on the SB Nation platform, I don't handle the requests for advertising directly. However, please contact me first with your details, and I'll forward it on to the advertising team. In doing so, Driveline Mechanics gets mentioned along the way, and the brass is happy. We have text links and banner advertisements in all locations and sizes available, so there's room for all budgets. If you have quick demographics questions, feel free to check out our SiteMeter data in the bottom right of our webpage for visits and other miscellaneous information that may be of use.

So everyone out there buy some advertising, grill some burgers, and shoot off some Roman candles. What could be more American than capitalism, gluttony, and explosive ordnance?

Watch your fingers! (You don't want to get too much BBQ sauce on them.)
