Email me at : duhawdarylrosen@netcourrier.com
Selling my personal 2010 Ford F-150 Platinum. Reason for selling is that I would like to get the Raptor. Needless to say and count the numerous factory options that the Platinum Trip already has, which at the top of my head I can count: Bluetooth Calling and Audio connectivity, Rear View Camera, Automatic Headlights, Automatic Windshield Wipers, Automatic Door steps that only extend when the door is open. Heated and Cooled front seats and heated rear seats. LED interior trim light with over 5 color variations for an extra luxurious look at night. Now to the list of upgrades I put on this truck:1) 5 Nitto Mud Grappler with XD black 20 wheels: $3,000 parts and labor 2) Passport Laser Radar 9500ci with GPS location and 3 Radars: $2,500 parts and labor3) Ranch Hand front Bumper: $1,900 parts and labor4) Ranch Hand 2 projector lights for front bumper: $500 parts and labor5) Roll and Lock leather bed cover: $1,500 parts and labortotal upgrades: $9,400 The truck drives like a dream and handles amazing with wheels and tires. the cons are two things. the mpg i get 14 mpg combined and the moonroof is inoperative. never cared to see why the moonroof button is unfunctional because in Texas we dont open windows. the engine and transmission are as smooth as it could be. all buttons on the inside are function except the moonroof button

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
