 Up  for auction is my 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra 1 of 1.  It is a one of one as it was recorded for the show Knight Rider (2009).  I worked on the show and the sound of the car in the show is my/this car.  I hate to sell it but I bought another car and this one just sits.  Not is a rush to sell, but will entertain all offers.  The car will come with Three signed letters from the Knight Rider sound supervisor, the Sound FX editor/Recordist, and myself.  It was mic'd up under the hood and on the rear bumper for the stereo recording. A GT500 was used as the car BUT the sound of the car was actually this 2003 cobra.   I will also include an audio CD (and wav files if requested) with some of the source audio recordings.  Now more about the car itself.  I am the only and original owner since new, purchased September 2002.  The car has 81k miles.  The only modifications have been:  A 2.76 pulley (since 13k miles), dyno tune, Cold air intake, short throw shifter, and a Mac 3 inch catback only (so it passes smog every time).  The car has always run great, I had it tuned a little rich as not to push the motor.  Only mechanical repairs in 10 years have been:  Rear pumpkin reseal (common on these, under warranty years ago), alternator, water pump? (cant recall), radiator, 02 sensors, batteries and a clutch.  The car only left  me stranded once in 10 years and that was when the alternator died.  Never had the dreaded tick that some cobras had.  The brake pads were replaced within the last 6 months (not sure if rotors can be resurfaced or not next time).  Tires are in great shape all around.  The clutch was done at about 50k miles and currently is just ok, minor marbling sounds (quiets down when clutch depressed) the last 10,000 miles but works well, no slipping at all.  The car was hit 3 times. In 2003 the drivers rear quarter panel and rear bumper were repaired, ~2007 the drivers fender and front bumper were repaired, and lastly the front bumper/headlight/hood were pushed in and cracked in and never repaired.  please see pics.  The exterior and interior are in POOR to fair condition.  I say this honestly as the paint is faded in spots, long scratch on hood (Keyed at dodger game), some surface scratches and scuffs around car, the drivers seat is ripped pretty bad, headliner is sagging just a bit in the back (not so bad to affect rear view really), boost gauge only works sometimes (usually when cold).  Kelly blue book on a fair condition 2003 cobra is ~13,200.00 and ~15,400.00 for good condition (which this one falls short of).  Of course KBB does not factor in 1 of 1 :)  Please feel free to see the car in person and have the car inspected before Bidding.  All Sales will be final, the car is sold as is.  Paypal deposit is due within 48 hours in the amount of 1000.00.  the balance and vehicle pickup must be made within 5 days from auction end.  Cash in person is preferred but paypal will be accepted (very small fee may be added if paypal is used),  The car is in Studio City, CA.  PICKUP/Local sales only OR USA Out of state buyers MUST arrange their own transportation, contact me before auction end,  and use paypal.  Serious buyers ONLY.  I listed this car as honestly as I can please check my feedback.  Ask ANY and ALL questions before bidding/offering.  This is a one of one 2003 cobra, audio recorded for the sound of K.I.T.T in the Knight Rider 2009 Series.  Thanks for looking, make me an offer I can't refuse!

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.

Ford made three big mistakes in calculating MPG for 2013 C-Max Hybrid

Tue, Jun 17 2014

It's been a rough time for the official fuel economy figures for the Ford C-Max Hybrid. When the car was released in 2012, Ford made a huge deal about how it would beat the Toyota Prius V, which was rated at 42 combined miles per gallon, 44 city and 40 highway. The Ford? 47 mpg across the board. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? Well, after hearing customer complaints and issuing a software update in mid-2013, then discovering a real problem with the numbers last fall and then making a big announcement last week that the fuel economy ratings of six different 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles would need to be lowered, the C-Max Hybrid has ended up at 40 combined, 42 city and 37 highway. In other words, the Prius trumps it, as daily drivers of those two vehicles have known for a long time. The changes will not only affect the window sticker, but also the effect that the C-Max Hybrid (and the five other Ford vehicles that had their fuel economy figures lowered last week) have on Ford's compliance with greenhouse gas and CAFE rules for model year 2013 and 2014. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? There are two technical answers to that question, which we've got below, as well as some context for how Ford's mistakes will play out in the bigger world of green vehicles. Let's start with Ford's second error, which is easy to do since we documented it in detail last year (the first, needing to do a software update, was also covered). The basic gist is that Ford used the general label rule (completely legally) to test the Fusion Hybrid and use those numbers to figure out how efficient the C-Max Hybrid is. That turned out to be a mistake, since the two vehicles are different enough that their numbers were not comparable, despite having the same engine, transmission and test weight, as the rules require. You can read more details here. Ford's Said Deep admitted that the TRLHP issue is completely separate from the general label error from last year. Now let's move on to last week's announcement. What's interesting is that the new recalculation of the MPG numbers – downward, of course – was caused by a completely separate issue, something called the Total Road Load Horsepower (TRLHP). Ford's Said Deep admitted to AutoblogGreen that the TRLHP issue had nothing to do with the general label error from last year.
