Museum Car: 1928 Ford Model A Rumbleseat Roadster

Ford released the Model A in a time where all of the working class was in search of a very reliable mode of transportation to get to and from work. Recognizing the opportunities that were there Henry Ford created the Model A to accommodate their needs. He created, in my opinion, the easiest car in the world to maintain, find parts for, self-service, and customize. When people noticed these features bundled into one fine automobile they jumped in and increased the demand for Ford to produce these cars. At the time that The Model A came out the car was a fairly new piece of machinery to the world and to people’s garages. The world had not yet invented businesses such as quick lube that had the means to help you with the maintenance and repair work of your car. No, Ford sent all of his cars home from the factory with a service manual and made it possible for the individual owner to create a bond with their car that would impact history to an immeasurable degree. Out of this spawned race cars, gear heads, motor specialists, and car enthusiasts that make up this wonderful, community based, hobby of cars.

This example of Ford’s 1928 Model A has been in a humidity controlled museum of convertibles for the last several years. It is a solid car with a good drive train and hydraulic brakes. This is a good car with a strong engine. The paint is in fairly good condition; however it is cracking in places. We have enjoyed owning this car. The wind deflectors that attach to the windshield are in the trunk because one of the brackets needs replaced. Furthermore, this car is not offered with a top. We purchased this car without the top. It is such a fun Sunday driver that we have never wanted a top on the car, as we do not get this car out in the rain. The only thing that a new owner would want to do to make this car roadworthy would be rebuilding the starter.

Before I list anything on eBay I like to get it out on the road and test it to insure that nobody will be paying for buyers remorse. This car has been on the road several times throughout our ownership, but when I went to start this car and get it out of the museum the starter seemed extremely weak. I cranked it the first time and it was struggling to turn the engine over right towards the end the engine made the noise like it was getting ready to fire. I turned the key off and pumped the gas again and adjusted the choke. When I turned the key again all was silent. There was no clicking, pecking or grinding noise. It was simply working one time and not the next. When I was trying to start it I knew that it had a weak starter and tried my best to be extra careful not to mess it up, however there is not much a person can do to be easy on a starter other than avoiding holding the key in the start position for an extended amount of time. I am the one that got the last crank out of this starter. If this car finds new ownership, I will see to it that there is a new battery installed. I can possibly lend some assistance with the started. The best thing about Ford’s Model A is that parts can be found easily for them. All cars have their own personalities; I believe that, all quirks aside, ownership of this car will be pleasurable for whoever it may be. It would be my pleasure to show the car in person. If you would like to see the car in person, or would like more information or pictures, I encourage you to contact me by phone, text, or Email. I will consider any offers that are made. Thank you for your interest in this fine automobile.

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best

Tue, May 3 2016

Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh Â– but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS Â– finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS Â– the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.

2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
