Up for sale is my 1996 Ford Probe GT. It has a 2.5L DOHC V6 engine with 95k miles on it. The transmission is a 5-speed manual. It is a two door coupe that seats four. Everything on the car is stock except for the air intake and the sound system/speakers. I am only the second owner in the car's history, have had it for about 4 years and have put about 10k miles on it. The car's title is clean and I have it in hand.

The good:
-Less than 100k original miles is great for a car almost 20 years old
-Interior is in good shape, there are a couple of cosmetic problems but it has seat covers that match on the front two seats
-Brand new interstate battery with a 5 year manufacturers warranty (Feb, '14)
-Aftermarket kenwood sound system: cd/radio/aux input single din deck with four kenwood speakers
-full engine tune up when I bought it: timing belt, spark plugs, system fluids flush
-regular oil changes since I have owned it
-10% tint on all windows except the windshield
-All power options on the car work: sunroof, windows and locks, side view mirrors, cruise control, and even the remote locks. I have the original set of keys (key and key fob) along with a spare key
-Brand New rain-x windshield wipers
-Full detail including the engine bay
-Smoke-free environment

The bad:
-tires are at about 25% tread and will need replacing soon
-trunk struts are broken so the hatch does not stay open on its own
-one headlight motor is broken so it won't flip down, however both lights work when the headlights are turned on
-the steering is a little off and it probably needs an alignment
-it has California plates with expired tags

Overall, this is a good car. The car has treated me well over the years and I will be sad to see it go. Its a perfect first car. For all the parents out there, consider that its a manual transmission, so you have to drive with two feet and two hands most of the time so you're not gonna be using a cell phone while driving. It also has an aux input so you can play Pandora through the car's speakers!

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output

Mon, Jan 6 2014

How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.

Is that the Ford GT Le Mans racer in the background of this Forza video?

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Shortly after the reveal of the new Ford GT in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft announced that it was putting the new American supercar on the cover of the upcoming sixth installment of the Forza Motorsport video game series. Now it has put out a video of the process of digitizing Dearborn's latest. Whether you're into Detroit steel (or carbon fiber and aluminum in this case), exotic supercars or video games, the video is worth a watch in and of itself. But our eyes were focused on something else. In the background of one shot (around the 1:49 mark) you can see a design board with renderings of what looks to be the rumored racing version of the GT – complete with reshaped air intakes, deeper side sills, a bigger rear wing and a central rear fin like you'd find on the latest LMP1 racing prototypes. It wouldn't be the first time we've caught wind of the prospect of the Blue Oval's new supercar going racing. We first heard of the plans last October, further reinforced in December with reports of the new GT coming to Detroit. And as we reported just a couple of weeks ago following the supercar's reveal, a return to Le Mans could be in the cards – which would be fortuitous timing, since next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the original GT40 scoring its landmark 1-2-3 finish in the 24-hour race.
