Up for sale I have a 1993 Ford Taurus SHO with a 5-speed manual transmission. This is the third SHO I have owned, and the best one. The car goes like a scalded cat -- runs great, stops with authority, handles crisply, just plain does everything well. It also has four nearly brand new Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires on it. The car has been lovingly maintained throughout its entire life; I am the second owner. The original owner garaged the car and sold it to me in August of 2009 because she had two other vehicles and wanted it to go to a good home. I have always taken good car of the car -- it has never been beat on, always adult driven, and maintenance has been kept up on. I use only Motorcraft oil and filters, specifically synthetic blend 5W-30 oil and FL-400S filters, changed about every 3,000 miles. When parts have been replaced, I've also used Ford and Motorcraft wherever possible, and I always use super unleaded gasoline. The vehicle almost never sits in traffic -- the vast majority of the mileage I've covered has been out on the highway, where it gets fantastic fuel economy.

Here's a comprehensive list of what I've done to the car since I've owned it:

$70 for headlights (plus shipping)

$30 for rear sway bar links

$15 for power antenna mast
$243.72 for cooling fan assembly, installation, installation of power antenna, and LOF.
$450 to replace power steering pump and power steering belt tensioner pulley
$483.82 for four Continental ExtremeContact DWS 225 55-16 tires installed at about 218,400 miles.
$60 to mount and balance Contis.
$120 to replace driver's rear Monroe Sensatrac rear strut, Mevotech strut mount, and sway bar end link.

While there is some ugly rust on the passenger's quarter panel (my body guy looked at it and had no problem fixing or replacing it, but I've got three cars), a spot on the trunk, and a spot on the driver's quarter panel, the car is very clean overall. It is sound underneath, the paint shines brightly, and the interior is beautiful. There is very little wear on the driver's seat, and essentially no wear on the others. They have truly held up wonderfully. This is a fantastic car that runs beautifully -- it performs like a car with a fraction of the miles. It has 221,846 on the clock. Of course, as with most used cars, the car is not perfect. The A/C does not work, for example (all other climate control functions are fine). But it is far nicer and runs far better than most I've come across of this vintage.

I love this car, but I have two other vehicles, and am trying to trim the fleet -- that is the only reason I'm selling. Otherwise I would keep the car and enjoy her for many more years and many more miles. There are no lights on the dash, no squeaks, rattles, or noises. The Carfax is clean, the title clear. By the way, the exhaust is awesome. It consists of a high flow Y-pipe from Magnaflow (a very well known and worthwhile modification on these cars that frees up about 12 horsepower), and custom work from there back (a small section of the original exhaust was saved where it splits to go to the tailpipes), including two Dynomax three chambered mufflers with double walled Magnaflow tips. This system does not drone. It is quiet at idle and out on the highway, but has a mellifluous growl and smooth tone when you accelerate.

This is a solid, reliable SHO. She's ready to go -- all she needs now is another good home.

As you'd expect, the car is sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I have title in hand for easy transfer to the new owner.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

How privacy fears are driving automakers in the age of the connected car [w/poll]

Wed, Aug 27 2014

A recent GAO report concluded car companies don't adequately disclose how and why they share location data. As cars collect and store more and more data about the whereabouts of their drivers, automakers are responding to critics who say they should be more transparent about how those details are used. Ford is hiring a global privacy policy attorney to craft the company's customer privacy policies in the era of connected and autonomous cars. "In this emerging space, there is an important need to address customer privacy policies," reads a job description posted on the "people and careers" portion of the company's website. "As part of our compliance and ethics organization at Ford, this person will have an immediate and direct impact in shaping existing and future policy and corporate thinking in this area." Ford is creating the new position, based at its Dearborn headquarters, at a time technology advances are outpacing privacy protections. Earlier this year, a report from the federal government concluded car companies don't adequately disclose to motorists how and why they share location data. That report, from the Government Accountability Office, found many car companies did not describe how they shared location data, did not allow consumers to request their data be deleted and that there was a "wide variation" in how car companies retained vehicle-specific or identifiable location data. It noted there is increased risk of location data being used in ways "consumers did not intend." Ford was one of 10 companies the GAO surveyed while compiling its report. Customers are opting to share that data largely by using features like maps and turn-by-turn direction that are run by a vehicle's telematics unit. Depending on the company, it can be unclear how that data is collected, retained or shared. At the time the GAO report was issued, AAA, the nation's largest motoring club, urged carmakers to be more transparent in how they handle data and to offer stronger security protections. Shaping Autonomous Car Regulations At Ford, the new hire could change how the company handles that data. According to the job description, the successful applicant will, "demonstrate visionary thinking around privacy strategy – imagine how consumer and employee expectations around privacy may evolve and how business should adapt, develop approaches that maximize the benefit of data sharing for consumers and business, etc." (Emphasis from Ford).

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
