1995 Ford Probe Gt Hatchback 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
White River Junction, Vermont, United States
She's got a high-performance engine and a recently replaced (used) starter. Functional flip-up headlights with high beams; fog lights not working. Leaky tires, differently sized front and back. Spacious hatchback trunk. Originally red - previous owner (unknown) had upper/front body painted black (coarse, matte) with a blue streak and a pink (acrylic, flaky) bottom/rear. Minor chips/scratches throughout. Recently dented side-right toward the rear - scratched + cracked. Okay/half-blown speakers. One spot of split upholstery on the driver's seat - interior otherwise in great shape (few colored stains in the back seat.) Uninspectable in the (thoroughly regulated) State of Vermont due to rust on the body - rear bumper, exhaust, back axle. Uni-body, no replaceable frame parts. Driver's door slightly loose; causes door to stick, unclosed, which may drain the battery. Fair gas mileage. Recently got to 100k in October. Purchased a year ago from a friend in Rutland, VT, who also purchased it in its repainted mode. In another state, she's still got a drive left in her. It hurts to let my dream car go.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
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.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
