I purchased the BII used in March of '09. I have done regular maintenance and replace some minor parts to keep it in good shape. Nothing major, it just works and works. Runs great, no lifter tick. Everything works like it should. I did install a new grill and light assemblies, but still have the original grill. I drive it on the weekends, and it is never anything but a blast to drive. I was going to restore it and make some upgrades (suspension, paint, interior...) but no longer have room to keep it. The paint is old, and has some rock pecks, but will still shine up nicely with the exception of a 12"x12" spot in the center of the hood that is oxidized. All the chrome looks new, as does the bumper trim. The body is straight with a few minute door dings. The engine and transmission have no issues at all. No leaks, properly serviced... I did change the plugs and replaced the alternator from a 60 amp to an 85 amp, a couple of weeks ago. The air, and all power options work properly. The interior is age worn, but still looks decent. The only things that do not function properly are: Fuel gauge, and the brake and rear anti-lock lights come on from time to time in the instrument cluster (even though there are no issues with either). Basically, it's just a good little car that's fun to drive, great on gas (20 mpg), and a good find for any collector or BII enthusiast. I don't have a long list of things I have done to it, as it simply hasn't needed anything in the last 4 years that I have had it

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue
Tue, 28 May 2013We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
