This is the Lightning Electric Car that was featured on the 2009 Hot Rod Power Tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_EiejWX_S4 and by Pete and Jakes Hot Rod Parts at the Back to 50’s car show in St. Paul, MN. This car is no stranger to the race track either. It has run successful tests at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI and at the Brainerd International Speedway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDEAtmMiz00&feature=plcp This is the first of its’ kind Lightning Electric Car (EV) with styling based on the sprint and indy cars of the 40’s and 50’s. The Lightning chassis features 4-wheel disc brakes, and independent front and rear suspension with cantilevered coil over QA1 shocks and rack and pinion steering in the front, and an independent rear axle with QA1 coil over shocks. This Lightning is powered by a Net Gain 9” DC motor, a 1000 amp Net Gain Industrial Controller, and 13-12 volt FMP deep cycle batteries. With the FMP batteries the Lightning Electric Car will take you up to 40 miles between charges, and recharging takes only about forty cents worth of electricity. Plenty of range for your 10-15 mile commute...and no need for a special charging station. It plugs in to a regular 110 volt outlet. The battery pack is easily upgradable to lithium ion batteries that will increase the range to about 100 miles. The current price for a lithium ion battery pack is around $8,000. Plenty of fun to be had with the $700 FMP battery pack for a couple of years until the cost of the lithium batteries becomes more affordable. The FMP batteries also come with an 18 month free replacement warranty. This Lightning has been driven over 2,200 trouble free miles since May 2012 on about $25 of electricity. Open air muscle car performance and zero emissions. It’s the most fun you can have driving. Make it yours. Price includes delivery to anywhere in Lower 48 Has it's own web page at http://lightningelectriccar.com

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid
Fri, Aug 28 2015Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
