EMAIL : EdwinGrant3b721@yahoo.com 1976 Ford Gran TorinoStarsky & Hutch CloneNO RESERVE AUCTION This vehicle isbeing re-listed as the first buyer was unable to afford the car beyond theinitial deposit. But their loss could be your chance to own the second mostrecognizable car in american television history (the Duke's of HazardGeneral Lee got #1). Up for sale is a 1976 Ford Gran Torino remade into aStarsky and Hutch clone. This is not one of the 1,000 Starsky & Hutch limitededition cars made by Ford. It is an affordable vintage vehicle which is adefinite eye-catcher you will not be afraid to drive for fear it may getscratched. It is not a "show quality" car, but what is termed a "daily driver".In other words, you can drive it, show it, and just enjoy it. This probably isn't going to help sell the car, but I remembered a couplethings I forgot to include. Fortunately, no one has put a bid in yet so no harmdone. First, the steering wheel is not original to the car and the horn buttonon this after-market steering wheel had never worked. I tried to think of waysto fix it, but was not too successful. Yada, yada, yada, I used an orange hockeypuck and cobbled together a working horn, but was never really happy with it.Second, the left-hand turn signal cancel does not work. The right hand sidedoes. This is controlled by a plastic piece with plastic pins in the steeringcolumn. I replaced it once with a used part from my parts car. It workedproperly for about 2 months and then quit working again. I'm sure one ormore of the pins broke off.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
