SMALL DENT BY HEADLIGHTS, SCRAPED A POLE IN TARGET PARKING LOT. HIT A CURB AT TARGET (don't go to target anymore....!) and did underbody damage, swing arm, flat tire, all repairs made at certified local mechanic shop. SMALL RUSTED OUT SPOT AT BOTTOM OF DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. WAS DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTERS AND IF SOMETHING WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT WE ALWAYS HAD IT REPAIRED."

I have owned this vehicle for 10 years.  It has survived my teenagers and is still trucking along!  It always starts and gets you from point A to point B.  It would be a great fixer upper for someone with the know how.  It does have a lot of quirky old car issues.  The hood latch is rusty and not sure it is secure.  Just to be safe I secured it with a bungee from underneath.  There is a bad wire and the dash lights do not work.  There is a bad wire or switch and the brake lights stay on all the time.  If you  pull the fuse when you  park  it does not drain the battery.  When you leave you pop it back in.  These are easy fixes if you like to tinker and have the time.  Tires, battery, timing belt and ball joints replaced about a year ago.  A/C compressor also.  It has a rattle up front, have not had checked out yet.  Perhaps a spring needs attention or something in that area.  Interior is tan.  Okay condition for age, could benefit from a good carpet cleaner.  Spare tire and jack in the trunk.  Starts every time, shifts great and smooth and has good acceleration.  It's an old car, it is what it is.

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars

Wed, Jan 9 2019

Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
