The internal combustion engine is a combination of
several concepts that ultimately result in the power to
turn the wheels of car. In order to understand how, and
more importantly, why an engine works-it makes sense to
seek the knowledge of an expert.
Luckily, we at Bananasaboutcars.com have just such an
expert on staff: Mr. Monkey! The links below contain a
basic explanation of each concept involved in the engine's
operation, hence, the name Combustion 101. More
advanced discussions can be found in the auto articles
section of this site.

| The Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary is home to about 500 monkeys on 186 acres in Texas. Their goal is to give the monkeys the best quality of life possible with minimal human interference. Many of the monkeys have been rescued from abusive or exploitative situations. We at bananasaboutcars.com really like what Born Free USA is doing and support them. We invite our readers to check out their website and if possible offer support as well. If you love monkeys as much as we do, it's an opportunity to help monkeys directly.

| Our Favorite Charities |
| This is another of our favorite charities, Monkey in My Chair, an original recipient of the nationwide Pepsi Refresh Grant, is a beneficial program that helps cancer patients stay connected to their classmates. Monkey in My Chair was originally developed in honor of Chloe Watson Feyerherm for pre-school and elementary aged children who are away from school because of a cancer diagnosis. Each child is provided with a "monkey kit" which includes a huge stuffed monkey that takes their place in school when they are unable to be there. There is also a smaller monkey that stays with the child. All kits are sent out at no cost to the families or hospitals. Through Monkey in My Chair, children can stay connected to their classmates in a number of ways including online access to Monkey Message. Monkey Message is an online component that allows the sharing of pictures and documents to ensure the line of communication stays open between the patient and the classroom. For more information about the program visit www.monkeyinmychair.org.
