The time has come to let go of my reliable buddy.  My good friend.  My truck.  It has served me very well and taken me to many interesting places over the 150,000 miles we spent together.  Instead of telling you everything that's great about this truck (Google can tell you that), I will let you in on all that is wrong with it perhaps with a short narrative.  The truck has several dings and dents (All of which are pictured)  either caused mysteriously or by one of 3 minor accidents.  The front bumper was hit by one of the many fools on the road.  As I waited at a stop sign, the woman in front of me decided she was too far into the intersection and popped her boat of a car in reverse without ever looking behind her...and banged into me.  She hopped out of her boat and began apologizing profusely with her blonde hair and Russian accent.  Since the damage was cosmetic, I let it go.  The next accident happened one winter morning on my way to work.  I pulled out onto the road and as I put her into 4th I realized I was no longer gripping the pavement, but was sliding freely into oncoming traffic, spinning slowly.  I finally came to a stop in the opposite lane after spinning roughly 200 degrees.  Lucky for me, it was so early that there was no traffic in the opposite lane.  All was well...so I thought.  Unfortunately the car behind me hit the same ice patch and also began sliding freely until she came to a stop by knocking into my front driver side headlight.  It didn't stop there.  Many more cars kept piling on.  Ironically, I was the only driver not at fault.  Although there is a police record of this, I left my insurance company out of it.  The headlight was replaced but because of the dent below the lamp, it does not fit as snugly as it once did.  The final accident was all me.  I backed into a street sign while leaving a parking spot.  This left a nice semi-circle dent on the back passenger side corner of the truck.  There are other minor dings and dents but luckily for you, I have no explanation for them.  
Over the years some things stopped working.  The radio and cassette player stopped working long ago.  The windshield wiper fluid leaks.  This began shortly after having the fuel filter replaced.  My mechanic likely cracked the reservoir but it may be a loose seal.  The driver side door doesn't always want to open with the key.  One or more pins in the lock must be sticking.  I have loosened them and gotten the key to work but they eventually get stuck again.  Worst case scenarios...the lock will need to be replaced or you will get in the habit of opening the truck from the passenger side.  The check engine light has been on for about 6 years.  Once in a while it goes off.  It stayed off for a few weeks straight after having the catalytic converter replaced.  The emergency break light stays on too.  Even when the emergency break is off. And of course the windshield wiper fluid light is on.  I recently had the wheel bearings and ball joints replaced on the front passenger side.  It is logical to assume they will need to be replaced on the driver side eventually.  If that becomes the case, there will be plenty of warning.  For a few weeks prior to having them replaced, it felt as if the power steering had gone.  The seats have some staining and discoloration.  There is some glue markings on the tonneau cover in the pictures.  The cover is in great shape.  No rips or tears. I put the tape on the cover while visiting a friend in a high crime area in order to deter any potential theft.  I will have the glue cleaned off by the time the truck is picked up.  White paint spilled on the bed liner as can be seen in the photos.  Otherwise, the truck is in great shape.  It runs beautifully.  I am only passing it on because my brother gave me his Subaru...and I couldn't pass up all wheel drive.  Feel free to message me with any questions.  Should you be the happy future owner of my truck, payment must be made in full within a week of the auction's close.  
Thanks,
Keith

Toyota FCV rallies to the hydrogen cause as zero car

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

It's been two decades since Toyota dominated the World Rally Championship with its Celica Turbo 4WD. But this past weekend, Toyota hit the rally stage in a very different vehicle.
That, as you can see, is the Japanese automaker's Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV), which is still in its prototype phase. We're still at least half a year away from seeing the FCV in production trim, but the model has already been pressed into duty as the "zero car" at the Shinshiro Rally, the last round of the Japanese Rally Championship.
The zero car, for those unfamiliar, is to rally what a pace or safety car is to circuit racing, driving the rally stage to check for signs of trouble before the competitors put their feet to the floor, so it's not as if the FCV needed extensive modifications. From the looks of things, it just needed some jazzy stripes, mud flaps, probably different rolling stock and an interior with racing buckets and harnesses, roll cage, radio equipment and maybe a bit more ground clearance.

Lower gas prices mean there are excellent deals on green cars right now

Sat, Jan 17 2015

The phenomenon was big enough to make news in 2006, then in 2008, in 2011, in 2012, in 2013, and again last year: a big move in gas prices means a big move in alternative-fuel-vehicle sales. True Car's TrueSavings report, which averages transaction prices across the country to figure out what people are paying compared to MSRP, shows that electric cars and hybrids are ripe for excellent savings right now. The Ford Focus Electric presents the greatest disparity, with the average transaction price of $25,168 representing a 16.1-percent saving off its $29,995 MSRP. The Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Prius also snagged spots in the top five, with the Kia offering a 10.7-percent discount and the Toyota a 10.1-percent discount. One hybrid managed to show up among the top five lease offers, too: the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is just $315 a month for 36 months after $3,875 down in some markets. Alt-energy vehicles got bumped out of the top five finance deals, however. That was dominated by light trucks and, oddly, two subcompacts. The press release below has more details. TrueCar finds hybrids, EVs top list of best savings in January Gasoline price plunge = savings for consumers on alternative fuel vehicles SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford's Focus Electric hatchback, which sells at an average of 16 percent off MSRP, tops January's list of best savings on new vehicles, according to TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform. The "TrueSavings" monthly report analyzes current transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings. "Fuel savings are not top of mind to many consumers right now, and that makes this a great time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle," said John Krafcik, president of TrueCar. "With gasoline prices now averaging just $2.10 per gallon, and vehicle preferences tied so closely to short-term gasoline prices, automakers are heavily discounting their most fuel-efficient cars to clear inventories." Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling alternative fuel vehicle for more than a decade, also makes January's list of best savings. Customers who purchase a Prius Two model this month can save 10 percent off the hybrid car's $25,025 MSRP. "Gasoline prices and vehicle type preferences are strongly related, and this relationship is cyclical in nature," said Krafcik.
