Hate to see this baby go. After 7 faithful years and 300,000 miles of mostly carpooling kids to schools and camps its time has come. Engine went the way of the dinosaur and it's time to get a new horse and carriage for the kids.

Bought in 2006 as a same-year barely-used model with only 16000 miles the van lived a happy life watching kids grow up, hear their laughter, witness their rascalities, listen to their homework studies and inside-gossip. Before it landed on my driveway the van was used as a crew vehicle for the Sopranos. Some bragging creds right there. (A "Soprano's Crew" tag is still attached to the sun visor.)

During its tumulous life span the van saw heat and cold, sub freezing temperatures and iron melting heat; new asphalted highways and others less so. Little scratches and standard wear are visible all over as a charming sign of age. Back door is adorned with stickers added by jovial adolescents expressing individuality and uniqueness.

The 2 front tires are merely brand new. I just bought them at the end of summer. I would suggest you put them on on the rear for good traction. The spare tire is fully inflated and in top shape having barely been used.

1 of the 13 passenger cabin seat belts doesn't work properly. Driver's armrest came off when a suitcase was pushed against it. First bench cloth has a rip (fixable with a needle and thread, ask Mom to do it for you).

AC is in top shape. The only complain I ever heard, even on the hottest days, was "Can you lower the AC?" which was music to my ears. Heat on the other hand works only in the front. Now, on most days, even very cold ones, the front heat covers the whole cabin all the way to the back. But I will show you an easy fix for that. It's just a screwdriver and a couple twists away.

All 4 rows in the passenger cabin area come out to provide multiple configurations of cargo hauling space.

Hope I didn't let anything out. Feel free to ask any question even as mundane as when I filled up gas last or as daunting as the age of the kids I chauffeured.

Goes without saying that the van is not in a position to revolve its wheels on its own. It needs a tug. Preferably on top of a muscular flatbed but 2 barn yarn cords connected to a pickup truck will get it out of my driveway just as well.

As for payment, I'll give you a chance. I will accept your check and wait the mandatory couple of days till my bank contacts your bank and has a Brinks truck deliver the money straight to my bank account. In other words no need for paypal (unless you insist, that is).

Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
