2012 Dodge Grand Caravan with Very LOW miles, 2672! This van was converted for my father who was a disabled veteran. It is a Braun Ability Conversion with the floor lowered and a side folding ramp for easy access into the vehicle.
  It is modified with an electro mechanical rear kneeling suspension that lowers the van so wheelchair users have an easier time entering. The center seats have been removed to allow room for wheelchairs to move around. The floor is covered with  durable, washable flooring and has a rail system with adjustable locking points to secure wheelchairs etc.
With the floor being lowered it provides 54 1/4 inches of headroom floor to ceiling at the center of the van.
Both side doors and the rear hatch are powered for remote opening and closing
The drivers seat is multi position power adjustable and can back up and swing around to allow easier transfer from a wheelchair.
Both seats are removable so the driver and passenger can stay in their wheelchairs if needed.
This van is equipped with the Mobility Products "Classic 3500 Series" Hand control to accelerate, brake use the horn and dimmer switch.
This system can be removed and replaced with one of the AEVIT controls if the driver has less mobility. 

The most notable feature of this van is the AEVIT 2.0 Advanced Electronic Vehicle Interface Technology or "drive by wire" system.
This is a touch screen display that controls:
Gas/Brake
Steering
Aux Battery System
Ignition Start/Stop
HVAC
It is also modular and can be fitted with optional input devices and orthotics that adapt for drivers with limited mobility.
If AEVIT is entered on YOUTUBE there are some videos showing people driving with this system.

  
This vehicle has very low miles and is in as new condition.
The van was purchased new by my father on 8/29/12. The cost of the van was $31,505. for the chassis. The cost of the conversion and adaptive equipment was $80,437.70 for a total cost of $111,947.70.
Unfortunately with his failing health, he was unable to drive it much.

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper

Sat, Jun 6 2015

MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
