Thank you for viewing my auction. I am selling my 2000 Ford Focus ZX3. Car is black in color with gray interior. It has a little over 216,392 miles on it and recently had spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a new coil replaced. Car has been running great as I used it to travel to and from work about 26 miles total a day. I am selling it as we are saving for a bigger vehicle as we have two children. Their is noticeable rust on the top of the car as the paint has peeled off and a some damage to a fender from the previous owner. Both can be easily replaced. The front bumper cover has a temp fix on it as it was cracked. The passenger door handle probably needs looked at or replaced as well as the hatch latch in the back. This car would be a decent to and from work car as I have used it for since 2009. The stereo works great, drives decent (could use an alignment). The front passenger side sway bar link needs replaced (I have the new part to give). I have had regular oil changes done, replaced transmission fluid and filter, new air filter and cabin filter, brakes are very good. Their is a few cigarette burn in the interior from a previous owner (I do not smoke), the car has no odor. The exterior license plate light trim broke off but a replacement can be found. The original key cylinder was replaced as it had a known defect and locked up on me. Car will come with 3 keys, and 2 key fobs. Car also gets great gas mileage of about 25mpg and even up to 28mpg. With a new paint job and a little more TLC you'll have a decent car for safe, reliable, travel. The AC also work fine for a month or two after being recharged. The ac compressor needs replaced as it squeals when the ac is turned on. The ties are all relatively new except the front drivers side is showing some toe wear. I have also replaced many other parts on this car including a new radiator, new rear swaybar linkage and bushings, new front struts. I have the majority of all receipts and service records if requested. Car has a fully functional spare tire, jack, and trunk lining. I have repaired 3 small chips in the windshield by safelite auto glass repair ( you won't even know its there till I point it out). I'm also going to include a Garmin Streetpilot C330 GPS unit that I installed. Other than that, shoot me an email with any other questions. Please only serious bidders. Winning bid will accept purchase AS IS based on the the description and pictures provided. I have done the best to describe vehicle as accurate as possible. Winning bidder is responsible for pick up. Title WILL be released upon verification that the car is insured by new owner and temporary plates have been issued. I will be more than willing to provide a bill of sale upon request. Deposit or full amount is due within 48 hours with remainder due at time of pickup.

2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.

Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
