I recently acquired this car and don't know the history. I will do my best to describe in detail. Please check the VIN with Carfax. I just applied for the title to be transferred to my name, DMV shows it as CLEAN. The Kelly Blue Book values the vehicle at $5608 for FAIR condition. Fair condition is described as:

Has some cosmetic defects that require repairing and/or replacing: Please read below.

Requires some mechanical repairs: I have not noticed any mechanical repairs. I have only driven the car a couple hundred miles and it seems to run just fine.

The paint and bodywork may require refinishing and body repair: The car looks to have been painted. I noticed that there is some residual paint around the lights, windows, and tires. Otherwise the paint looks nice and fresh.

The engine compartment has leaks and may require repairs: No leaks have been detected, but I have not had a mechanic look at it.

May have some repairable rust damage: No rust damage present.

The body has dents, chips, and/or scratches: Do not notice any scratches or chips. I can see a couple spots where there are shallow dents, but barely noticeable.

The interior has substantial wear, and may have small tears: Interior could use a good cleaning. The previous owner definitely smoked in it. There is no strong odor but there are a few cigarette burns. The headliner is in great shape.

Wheels may be warped or bent, have major scratches, scrapes, or pitting and require replacement: Looks like the hubcaps were painted, the silver is peeling a bit in places. Wheels are not bent and do not need to be replaced.

The tires may not match and need replacing: Tires look to match, don't look like they need to be replaced.

Needs servicing, but is still in reasonable running condition with a clean title history: I do have a clean title. Vehicle runs fine, but could probably use a tune-up since I don't know how well it was taken care of.

A few service records are available: There are no service records with this vehicle.

As you can see from the pictures all dash lights light up when the key is partially turned, then go off when the car is started. The car comes with two keys, one is not chipped and does not start the car, just unlocks the doors. The knob to open the hood is missing, but the release still works. The spare tire is included with the jack. The back left light cover is cracked as is the lower part of the windshield. Power windows and locks work just fine. Car seems pretty solid.

Is Fernando Alonso preparing to sit out 2016?

Mon, Nov 30 2015

Things have not been going well for Fernando Alonso since moving to McLaren. In fact they've been going so poorly that the Spanish driver may end up sitting out next season if things don't improve. At least those are the rumors presently occupying the Formula One paddock. The notion was first raised by McLaren chief Ron Dennis. When asked by reporters about Alonso's near-term future with the team, Dennis said, "I have an open mind to anything, and some of the ideas have involved those sorts of considerations, yes, sabbatical years etcetera." Though far from confirmed, the basic idea would be to see how next year's car performs in pre-season testing, and if it's not up to spec, Alonso could end up sitting out a season while McLaren and Honda get their partnership up to speed, so to speak. Alonso appeared to be puzzled by the prospect his boss raised, but couldn't rule it out, either. It would be a rather unprecedented move, but could end up avoiding some frustrations as the Anglo-Japanese teething process works itself out with time. Alonso has been a constant on the grid since 2003, missing only two grands prix in thirteen seasons: the 2005 United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis when all the Michelin-equipped teams sat out the race in protest, and the Australian Grand Prix at the beginning of this year, when Alonso was still recovering from a crash in pre-season testing. Out of 254 grands prix contested to date, Fernando has landed on the podium 97 times, including 32 wins and two world championships. This season, however, he's only finished in the points once, with his fifth-place finish in Hungary. Of the eighteen races he contested this year, his car failed to get him to the finish line altogether at seven. His seventeenth place in the final standings for the season are the worst he's done since his debut in 2001 with Minardi (the team now known as Toro Rosso).

Honda 'Hands' ad is a worthy successor to 'Cog'

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

The 2003 Cog commercial from Honda may have been named one of the best car commercials of all time, but an all-new spot called Hands looks to be even more entertaining even if it's digitally enhanced. The two-minute video - which starts and ends with a nod to Cog - highlights just about all facets of Honda's universe of products from passenger cars to racecars, the HondaJet to leaf blowers, motorcycles, ATVs and even Asimo.
Celebrating 65 years of innovation, the advertisement is as informative as it is amusing, and it even injects a little humor, too, like a glass of water being squeezed from the FCX Clarity. We just hope that the 1:10 mark of the video isn't hinting at a CR-V Convertible. We're not sure when Hands will air or if we'll see it on television here in the US, but the video is posted below; as an added bonus, we've also included the video for Cog.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
