1993 Ford Escort spent the last two years sitting up. Was started from time to time. Few days ago I put a new battery and started driving it around. Recently started making a weird whining noise hard to explain I believe its coming from the transmission but not sure. I plan to continue driving it as well as have a mechanic look it over while this auction is up and will update if anything changes. Heater works. A/C worked just seemed to take a little longer than I remember to get cold. Vehicle can be used for parts or an everyday vehicle if given a little tender care. Previous owner said it did not have power steering but a mechanic once told me it does have a power steering pump that is not working. I have never bothered looking further into it since it has never been hard to steer. I have listed a reserve simply to avoid it selling for $5.00 or something to that effect. Other than that not looking for a particular price just want to get rid of it before it goes to waste. I am not experienced in mechanics or selling a vehicle so any further information needed please send me an e-mail with any info you would like to know that I have not mentioned.

Just got the car back from the mechanic shop. Mechanic said he drove it longer and further than I have and said he believes the noise is in fact coming from the transmission and he did notice rough shifting and a few slips. But couldn't tell me more since he doesn't work on transmissions just motors. He also said there was some hesitation here and there from the motor that can be easily fixed with a full tune up and some injector cleaner. The car does have power steering which he says worked fine after putting fluid in it but leaked all out of the high pressure line. I priced the line at O'Reilly's for $25. I will buy one and leave in the back seat upon the vehicle selling.

Brought it back to the shop today cause it started running horrible. Same mechanic looked at it and said its the same issues with needing a tune up injector cleaner ran through it and so on for sitting up so long. He said no damage has been done from me driving it. Only a day left in the auction so I'm just gonna park it in the mean time.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
