Huntington, New York, United States

For Sale is my "beautiful" (in my eyes) 1993 Land Cruiser FZJ80. with LOCKING DIFFERENTIALS.

I purchased it from a local private owner in September of 2010 with the intent of fixing it up a bit to take camping, use in the snow, go shopping, and throw the bikes in the back and go have some fun. 

It is by no means in great cosmetic condition. Though interior is very clean brown colored cloth and in very good shape. 

When I purchased the truck I was told it had a fresh motor professionally installed at approximately 90k miles. I have no paperwork on the engine swap, though there are markings on the motor supporting that is is not the original. 
I have had ZERO issues with the engine in my 2+ years of ownership. Only maintenance has been regular oil changes. Mileage shows on title as Exempt. 

The Good..
Newly Inspected and registered in New York State.
Only approx 5k miles on the tires. 
New factory-style exhaust installed in 2011.
Starts up each and every time.
Most capable vehicle in poor weather conditions. 
New Bluetooth Telephone and Alpine audio system w/ speakers.
7 Passenger seats.
Roof Rack.
Sun Roof. (recently replaced rubber due to small leak). 
Very Desirable Locking Differentials.
Fancy 1993 Style Faux Wood Trim. 

The Bad.. 
Paint is poor and faded on hood and top of vehicle. Scratches on paint. Rust hole in hood. 
Passenger front window goes down, but goes up very very slowly. (may need new motor)
Rear wiper no longer works.
Transmission slips from 2nd to 3rd gear (can be corrected by blipping the throttle and was never an major issue to me.)
Bumper on passenger side is bent up slightly (see picture with of vehicle with snow. no structural damage.
Rust spots on various parts of the vehicle. 
Aftermarket fog lights not working.
Slight power steering fluid leak. 

All in all, its a great vehicle which I don't need to sell. I'll be happy to use it this winter if there isn't much interest. Thanks for taking a look, and I know the pictures are quite vague so please ask for anything specific and I'll be sure to take much better photos soon.

The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:

BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

People, us included, make a big stink about the importance of family sedans. There's no doubt they're critical - they represent a huge slice of the market's annual sales and profits. However, despite accounting for far fewer transactions than the midsize sedan segment, the fullsize sedan is getting attention from manufacturers now that our market's entire lineup of those (slightly) smaller four-doors has turned over in the last two years or so. As most of the fullsize segment's mainstays derive a fair bit of their platform and powertrain technologies from their midsize cousins, these larger four-doors offer the potential for fatter profit margins, too. And with the newly stylish duds found on many of the industry's most successful midsize sedans, it's only right that automakers no longer think about fullsizers as big, squishy, vanilla family haulers with flat seats, vague steering and a thin layer of 'luxury' in the form of faux wood trim.
As manufacturers have again started diving into large sedans feet-first, the cars themselves have become sharper. The interiors are now of a higher quality and loaded with tech, while the exteriors have become further extensions of each manufacturer's design language. There's perhaps no greater example of this than the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus, two models that evolved from subpar offerings into market leaders. This segment-wide transformation happened quite quickly, whether because of coincidental timing or because manufacturers are trying to get more out of their big cars, recognizing they account for a small portion of overall sales (just 3.5 percent of the new-car market in the first half of 2013).
The 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is one such vehicle. We remarked on the changes to the V6 variant last year, and while we previously had a quick steer of the gas-electric hybrid, we figured the new model was worth a closer week-long look.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
