Fellow URL-aholic Scott Winkler sent this one in. Oh, Bad URL, how much do I hate thee? Let me count the ways...
1. dot-org dot-sucks
2. Changing the C in cars to a K only confuses the matter
3. Using IM lingo 4 for "for" is only a good idea when you're targeting kids (or shall, I say... cids?)
4. Combining the phone number and URL only works when they are one and the same. In this case, they don't own 1-877-Kars-4-Kids.org. They don't even have Kars-4-Kids.org. The actual URL is Kars4Kids.org.
I hate to pick on non-profits but they're just squandering donations pumping money into ads like this that end up lining the pockets of domain squatters. This URL should be 4-closed.

what is even worse it that they sing the song on radio commercials all the time - "1-877-Kars for Kids, K-A-R-S Kars for Kids...."
While I agree that this is a bad URL, I'm interested to hear why you don't like .org in this case.
wonder how they came up with it
Steve - I'm anti anything other than dot-com and dot-net (and even the latter is a stretch.) In a world where the avg. consumer is exposed to hundreds of marketing messages each day, the brain can't recall alternate domains.

don't donate to this org..they are a scam
Considering how often that f&*^%& n' commercial is on the aradio I would say they are spending all of their money on advertising. I truly despise hearing that song - please someone stop them from paying this idiotic jingle over and over again. I am being driven to psychosis.
