This van was a municipal vehicle and as such has the sealed holes and markings on the roof from the old numbers. The van has several scratches in the paint and rust forming on the inside of the passenger door. It is missing the center portion of all four hubcaps. The van has a hole cut in the middle of the interior roof about a foot by a foot and a half, the material for it is still there but not attached. It has numerous scratches in the paint. The muffler is rusted and has a hole. The wear on the front tires I believe is an indication it needs an alignment although it drives straight for me . The underside of the van is showing some rust but is solid. Over all this vehicle appears to have been maintained well . I have had the vehicle for under a year. In that time the brake vacuum booster failed and was replaced. I added an older bench seat and a folding bed frame to the inside of the van. The bench seat is an older style with the lap belts attached. The fold down bench I removed the seats from and attached a sheet of half inch plywood to, it is able to accommodate a full size mattress with storage space underneath in the back of the van both the bench seat and frame are relatively easy to remove. I have the seats for the fold down bench available with the vehicle, I'm not sure that the seat mechanism works as i wasn't concerned with putting it up. This vehicle has been a dependable and solid driver for me since I purchased it last summer. It also has the rear heat and ac option on it which is functioning. The sliding side door works as it should. I have the metal partition that goes between the front seats and the cargo space, if you purchase the van you are welcome to have it with the vehicle as well as the benches. If any of these things are not wanted I will be happy to remove them after a deposit has been made and before pickup of the van. It has a two inch receiver trailer hitch and attachment for trailer lights. I installed Naugahyde blinds in the rear windows and a screen to cover the inside of the van from the front that hangs on the coat hooks behind the front seats. The blinds roll up and are secured by Velcro. It has an am/fm radio. This vehicle has a vinyl floor that is the worst for wear with some tears and stains but still functional. With the turbo diesel that is in this vehicle it has been alot of fun to drive which maybe sounds weird for a van but when the turbo is wound up it moves out. If you have numerous questions on this vehicle please feel free to email me and i will get back to you with my phone number as I will be happy to talk with you regarding the vehicle. This vehicle is posted for sale locally and if it sells before a sale here I reserve the right to cancel this posting. This vehicle is also still being driven and as such the mileage will likely be higher than currently posted. In regards to payment, within a twenty four hour period of the winning bid I request a five hundred dollar deposit into my pay-pal account. The remainder of the balance will be expected in cash or cashiers check at the time the vehicle is picked up. Would prefer pickup of vehicle within seven days of sale. Full payment of vehicle will be expected in the form of a cashiers check or cash within seven days of the sale.Vehicle is being sold as is. Thanks for looking.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
