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

Europe on track to buy more PHEVs than hybrids by 2019

Mon, Apr 27 2015

LMC Automotive, formerly the forecasting division of J.D. Power & Associates, predicts that plug-in hybrids will sell better than conventional hybrids by 2019. By 2021, it envisions PHEV sales at 600,000 units yearly compared to 325,000 standard hybrid sales, and by 2024 PHEV sales are expected to account for 1.2 million sales every year. Part of LMC's prediction is based on a few factors, such as that it believes "electric-only operation will come to be seen as a true luxury characteristic and will be prized sufficiently to command significant premiums." Certain PHEVs are helped in countries like the UK and The Netherlands by generous incentives or other perks, like avoiding inner London's congestion charge, that allow them to address their price differences compared to standard offerings. And the number of PHEVs on the market will soon eclipse regular hybrids, coming from makers across the spectrum. Volvo has twice recently, and only belatedly, learned of the popularity of PHEVs: in 2013 it had to triple production of the V60 PHEV, and just this month it said demand for its XC90 PHEV is four times expectations. The Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid is outselling the traditional hybrid Panamera by more than seven-to-one. And then there's Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Europe's best-selling PHEV with 19,855 units, a volume more than three times larger than the second-best seller. Although LMC sees hybrid growth slowing, they're still doing well. Toyota and Lexus build the top-five selling traditional hybrids in Europe, combining for 72 percent of European sales, with the new Auris and Yaris hybrids alone selling 123,506 units in 2014. For LMC's forecast to come true, Europe will need a spectacular change in buying habits, since the top ten conventional hybrids tallied 175,847 sales in 2014, and the top ten PHEVs rang up 36,138 sales.

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
