1991 Toyota Celica GT Convertible!! This rare car still only has 97,000 certified actual miles. We purchased this car from the original owner in 2005 and has been a joy to drive. The automatic transmission shifts properly as it should. The brakes and fluids are all good and serviced regularly. The car has always been in a garage. It goes down the road straight and has no shakes. Best of all this car maintains ALL its original paint and body panels. No accidents.!! The motor and transmission are all number matching!!

You could buy the car now and enjoy next Spring as is, or turn into a show car with very little effort. Items that need to be addressed: The knob on the dash that turns on the Air Conditioning unit is cracked but the switch works fine. (These are available for $3). The plastic window on the convertible top has a couple cracks (but no holes) and these are also still available! This is a common issue with convertibles. The hold piston on the trunk lid is bad and needs to replaced. The Air Conditioning works but needs to be recharged. The pump and compressor are perfect. (We were planning on converting from R-11 to Puron but never did. (We like the top down!!!)The trunk opens and closes as it should, it just wont stay up as it should. These are still available. The trunk area has one "outer" dent the size of a dime from the corner of the trunk lid. The car has NO RUST issues what-so-ever. The top is power and works perfectly.

The tires and fluids are all good and serviced regularly. This car has always stayed in a garage and is owned and driven by fussy , non smoking adults. Buyer will pay all shipping but I will assist on my end anyway I can. Car must be picked up within seven days of the end of the auction. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. This is an auction to purchase the car. If you are the winning bidder it does not give you right to then inspect the car and decide if you want it. Inspections welcome until auct2on ends. Happy Bidding!

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

2014 Toyota 4Runner revealed at Stagecoach Music Festival

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

Toyota has just pulled the sheet off its updated 2014 4Runner at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival near Palm Springs, California. Toyota is the title sponsor at the festival, and claims that this is the first ever global reveal of a new automobile at a major music festival. We're also guessing this is the first time that the 4Runner has seen duty inside what looks like a vintage circus act's cage.
We can see from the photos (and the earlier teaser images) that the body-on-frame SUV has received a freshened look with new smoked light fixtures front and rear, along with a reworked front fascia and grille. The profile view seems largely unchanged, though there are new wheel patterns on offer.
The 4Runner will continue to be offered in three trims, including SR5, more luxurious Limited, and off-road-ready Trail specification. Both 4x2 and both part- and full-time 4x4 models will continue to be available, all will be powered by the same 4.0-liter 270-horsepower V6 and five-speed automatic as last year.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Subaru and Toyota PHEV, Nomadic Power grant

Sat, Jun 20 2015

The next generation of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid looks to be important for Mazda and Subaru as well. Toyota will likely need to sell more of the new plug-in hybrid to meet stricter ZEV standards in California. That means it will get more extra electric range, as customers have been asking for. Subaru and Mazda will also have to adhere to the California standards beginning in 2018. Those two smaller automakers will likely license a plug-in hybrid powertrain from Toyota in order to fulfill compliance. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla is partnering with Dalhousie University to improve battery technology. Tesla signed a five-year research agreement with Dalhousie's Jeff Dahn, a lithium-ion battery researcher. Dahn and the 25 researchers in his lab will work with Tesla's Director of Battery Technology, Kurt Kelty, to increase capacity through improved materials. The collaboration could be important both for Tesla's automotive and stationary batteries. "Our research group's goal is to increase the energy density and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, so we can drive down costs in automotive and grid energy storage applications," says Dahn. Read more from Dalhousie University. Nomadic Power is receiving a European Commission grant worth ˆ2 million (about $2.26 million) for trailer-mounted mobile batteries. Nomadic Power's mobile batteries, called Nomads, have incorporated photovoltaic systems and can be used to extend the electric driving range of a plug-in vehicle, or to provide backup power to a home. The Nomads use an intelligent energy management system to learn and predict user behavior and manage the solar system based on weather forecasts. "We see a strong future in electric-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular," says Nomadic Power CEO Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner. "Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements." Read more from Nomadic Power, and at Green Car Congress.
