Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility prepares to serve and protect

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Crossover , Ford , Police/Emergency Ford Police Interceptor Utility – Click above for high-res image gallery When Ford took the wraps off of its Taurus -based Police Interceptor sedan earlier this year, we were told that a second, utility-oriented police pursuit vehicle would be coming down the pipeline. Enter the Police Interceptor Utility, based off the 2011 Explorer crossover. A Flex -styled paddy wagon would have been cool, but the Explorer’s higher ground clearance makes it more versatile for law enforcement officials who require all-terrain capability.

IndyCar: 2010 Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300 [SPOILERS]

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Motorsports , Racing 2010 Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300 from Chicagoland Speedway – Click above for high-res image gallery It might seem that the 2010 IndyCar championship is a foregone conclusion. After all, Team Penske’s Will Power has a sizable lead in the standings and there are just four races left to run. Ah, but those four are all on ovals, and Will has never claimed the top step of the podium at an oval track. Plus, right behind Power in the race for the overall IZOD IndyCar Championship are Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon – two drivers who have considerably better luck than Power when everybody only has to turn left.

Sounds About Right: San Francisco spending $25M to determine how much parking should cost

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Government/Legal If you reside or frequent a large metropolitan area, you’re probably all too aware of the cost to park your vehicle. In cities like New York or Chicago, you can pay upwards of $30 or more for a full day of parking. To make matters worse, even with astronomical costs many drivers can’t even find an open spot. San Francisco is looking for a permanent solution to its parking problems by going high tech and paying big bucks to do it.
