Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong and smooth as you would expect.  4.0L V6 engine with automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive.  Only 12k miles.  No engine knocking, smoking, or dripping leaks. Shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has powerful acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  Has been fleet serviced since new.  Recent Service: new battery, all fluids have been changed.  Extended Warranty covers drive train components only.

Exterior     

Paint has all of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  This was a fleet/municipal vehicle and as such, does have some minor physical blemishes.  There are nicks, chips, scratches, dings, and other minor blemishes in a few spots around the body.  There is a scratch on the rear right side door and some scuffs on the front left side bumper edge.  There is some paintwork on the doors and tailgate where decals were removed.  Overall nice looking truck as you can see.  Please keep in mind this is not new but still a nice low mileage specimen.   

Interior

Interior is in very good condition with minimal wear.  There may be a few tiny holes drilled in some of the console panels where electronics were mounted.  Seats and floor are in like-new condition with no rips or significant wear.  A/C blows cold.  Radio and other devices work fine as they should.  SRS light is on due to a faulty seat track sensor.  The RSC light periodically comes on if starting up on uneven terrain.  This pertains to the anti-roll feature that applies braking if you corner too hard.  It doesn't affect performance of vehicle and has only come on a few times.  No evidence or smoking or pets.  Fresh and clean inside.   

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining.  Full set of factory alloy rims. 

I have test driven approximately 200 miles and assessed the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of my ability.  Known defects have been noted, but there may be repairs required and additional defects beyond what is listed.  Please keep in mind this is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle with previous flood damage history.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  Please keep in mind this was a gov't vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than normal vehicle.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and check out the truck for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  There will be no price adjustments or sale cancellations for failure to do so.  IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING AND PURCHASE.  FAILURE OF THE BUYER TO DO SO DOES NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS ON THE SELLERS PART.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.   

·  Payment Details

Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh

Wed, Sep 14 2016

Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron

Tue, Jan 3 2017

Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
