MUCH TO MY REGRET I MUST SELL MY 1990 FORD FESTIVA

I LOVE THIS LITTLE CAR.  IT HAS BEEN

A GREAT GAS SAVER FOR ME.  I DROVE IT TO

PA AND BACK ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

LATELY THE CAR HAS BEEN GETTING SLUGGISH AND I

BELIEVE IT JUMPED TIMING.  IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER

TO GO FROM 0 TO 15MPH AND THEN WOULD NOT LIKE

TO GO OVER 55.  ANYWAY, I HAD SOMEONE COME

OVER TO TRY TO WORK ON IT FOR ME AND

NOW IT WON'T START.  FIRST HE TRIED TO SET THE

IDLE, SAID HE NEEDED TO DO THAT BEFORE HE COULD DO TIMING.

WELL NOT IT WON'T START, IT TRIES TO, BUT WON'T.

I WAS TOLD THAT HE DID NOT THINK IT WAS THE TIMING, BUT THE

DISTRIBUTOR OR THE COMPUTER .  ANYWAY, I JUST CAN'T

HAVE SOMEONE WORK ON IT ANYMORE. I HAVE ANOTHER

VEHICLE, THAT I DRIVE A TRUCK, AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO

KEEP BOTH.  (THE GAS FOR THE FESTIVA WAS $32 A FILL UP)

THE TRUCK IS $100.  I AM WORKING ALL THE TIME AND I JUST

DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO MESS WITH IT ANY MORE.

IT WILL MAKE SOMEONE A GOOD LITTLE CAR, ONCE YOU GET IT

RUNNING AGAIN. 

IF YOU WIN THE BID ON IT, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY HOME. 

IF IT WAS RUNNING RIGHT NOW, I WOULD PUT A RESERVE ON IT, BUT IT IS NOT.

MY LOSS YOUR GAIN, HAPPY BIDDING.

For EV drivers, realities may dampen the electric elation

Mon, Feb 20 2023

The Atlantic, a decades-old monthly journal well-regarded for its intelligent essays on international news, American politics and cultural happenings, recently turned its attention to the car world. A piece that ran in The Atlantic in October examined the excesses of the GMC Hummer EV for compromising safety. And now in its latest edition, the magazine ran a compelling story about the challenges of driving an electric vehicle and how those experiences “mythologize the car as the great equalizer.” Titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Electric Vehicles,” the story addresses the economics of EVs, the stresses related to range anxiety, the social effects of owning an electric car — as in, affording one — and the overarching need for places to recharge that car. Basically, author Andrew Moseman says that EV life isn't so rosy: “On the eve of the long-promised electric-vehicle revolution, the myth is due for an update. Americans who take the plunge and buy their first EV will find a lot to love Â… they may also find that electric-vehicle ownership upends notions about driving, cost, and freedom, including how much car your money can buy. "No one spends an extra $5,000 to get a bigger gas tank in a Honda Civic, but with an EV, economic status is suddenly more connected to how much of the world you get to see — and how stressed out or annoyed youÂ’ll feel along the way.” Moseman charts how a basic Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck might start at $55,000, but an extended-range battery, which stretches the distance on a charge from 230 miles to 320, “raises the cost to at least $80,000. The trend holds true with all-electric brands such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid, and for many electric offerings from legacy automakers. The bigger battery option can add a four- or five-figure bump to an already accelerating sticker price.” As for the charging issue, the author details his anxiety driving a Telsa in Death Valley, with no charging stations in sight. “For those who never leave the comfort of the city, these concerns sound negligible," he says. "But so many of us want our cars to do everything, go everywhere, ferry us to the boundless life we imagine (or the one weÂ’re promised in car commercials),” he writes. His conclusions may raise some hackles among those of us who value automotive independence — not to mention fun — over practicalities.

Ford recalls 422,000 SUVs for rear view camera display that may fail

Thu, May 18 2023

WASHINGTON — Ford is recalling 422,000 sport utility vehicles in the U.S. because the video output may fail, preventing the rear view camera image from displaying. The recall covers 2020 through 2023 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair SUVs with a 360-degree camera. The recall expands and replaces prior Ford callbacks for the same issue in 2021 and 2023. Ford last year updated the image processing module (IPMB) software in an effort to address the issue. Ford said on Thursday it is "working together with suppliers to identify root cause and provide the correct remedy as quickly as possible". The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the loss of the rear view camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 26. Last year, Ford said it had reports of 17 minor crashes relating to the recall issue and more than 2,100 warranty reports but no reports of injuries. The NHTSA in August 2021 opened an investigation after Ford in 2020 recalled 620,246 vehicles for another rear camera issue. The investigation is reviewing if Ford had recalled the vehicles in a timely fashion and if it recalled enough vehicles. Recalls Ford Lincoln Crossover SUV

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?

Mon, Feb 9 2015

North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.
