The engines displacement isnt the only mystery surrounding Pathfinder XV1. Searching online, I found reference to a model called the X2000. While the funk that remains is all over this truck, its only skin deep. There were no changes to the mechanicals. That means you can expect a 300 horsepower 5. Im headed to Portland, Maine, today to drive a Jeep with 647 more horsepower and an infinitely faster 060 time than my 1948 Willys CJ2A. Jeeps have come a long way.

Ford Expedition Limited Bring The Funk Long before there was the Ford Flex there was todays Nice Price or Crack Pipe limited edition Funkmaster Flex Expedition. Its still fresh, but will its price have you saying in Flex we trust When it comes to pickup trucks theres a battle waged over space utilizationdo I want a big bed at the expense of some stretching room in the cabin, or do I want some extra lockable space up front at the cost of that bed space With yesterdays custom 2.

I am looking for a childrens story Called Number Nine it is about and old fire truck 9 who doesnt get to go to the fires much any more. Roush Raptor, the answer was an unequivocal neither as it rocked both a short cab and a short bed. Of course, the point of that truck wasnt hauling, it was hauling ass. Oh boy, that joke never gets old. Sadly for the seller of that custom F1. Tonka Tough Truck Adventures: The Biggest Show On Wheels Cartoon Online ' title='Tonka Tough Truck Adventures: The Biggest Show On Wheels Cartoon Online ' />Today were sticking with Ford, but were going to go much cheaper, and a whole lot funkier. Have you ever been to a SEMA Show, the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association orgy of the outrageous held annually in Las Vegas Its sort of like Burning Man for the car industry. Its also quite frequently a venue where auto makers allow the famous and near famous the chance to serve up a custom take on some model that perhaps is in need of some buzz. That was the case at the 2. SEMA show when Ford gave a Fusion and an F1. DJ Rapper Funkmaster Flex aka Aston George Taylor Jr. Apparently Ford and Flex hit it off since he was back at SEMA with a signature Expedition the very next year. That model was so fly that Ford went to the length of putting it into limited production for 2. Here we have one of those 2. Ford Expedition FMF editions, one of 6. East Coast cred. The Funk was pretty pervasive on these huge truckwagons, including custom two tone smack yo ass red and black paint, 2. FMF badges, and a series number applied to a plaque on the console. This one has the paint and the seats, but strangely it lacks the custom front bumper and red painted horizontal grille expected of an FMF truck. In their place are a standard bumper and what looks to be an aftermarket grille in black. Perhaps, theres some front end repair in this trucks history. Another kind of important thing thats missing here is the center console lid with the series number and related Funkmasters signature. You can see where it once lived there in the dash, right ahead of the cherry red shift lever. In its place is four mounting holes and a whole lot of aww shitWhile the funk that remains is all over this truck, its only skin deep. There were no changes to the mechanicals. That means you can expect a 3. V8 under the hoodsee, there it isand six speed automatic backing that up. All wheel drive adds both inclement weather stability and weight, bringing the truck up to a stout 5,5. A 2. 8 gallon fuel tank to feed the heavy beast means youll be the most hated person at the Costco gas pumps come Saturday. While its got some missing bits, the parts that are there look to be in pretty decent shape, I mean for almost 1. There does appear to be a sizable dent on the hood behind the bug guard and the headlights show signs of sandblasting, but other than that its all preasonably clean and tidy. The truck under the Funk is a Limited so it has all the bells and whistles you could imagine, including a power third row and 2. Nav. Hopefully it doesnt also have all the squeaks and rattles its age might imply. The ad notes that it comes with a clean title and recent smog check. If youre looking for a big truck with a lot of Funk, this might just be your ride. The asking price is 8,5. Flexmaster connection may not have held up as a value enhancer over time, you can bet youll be the only one in the carpool line rocking his FMF badge on your fenders. What do you think, does this custom Expedition seem like its worth that 8,5. Or, is that a price that needs some flex You decide Charlotte, NC Craigslist, or go here if the ad disappears.

Fire trucks are cool and fire safety is an important topic for every family. Reading books about fire safety is a great way to start a lesson or discussion. Here are 2. 0 childrens books about firefighters and trucks we have reviewed over the years. Some we loved and some not so much. As always we want to hear your opinion about the books we feature so leave a comment telling us your take on these books. Fire Fighters In My Neighborhood  by Paulette Bourgeois is a great book. This is a book for preschoolers who want to go a little more in depth with fire safety and what fire fighters do. My son loves this book and at the height of his fire fighter obsession asked for this book a lot. Of all the fire themed books weve read I think this one is probably the best choice to use when discussing fire safety with young kids. Its far too long for toddlers though. The Little Fireman by Margaret Wise Brown is a tremendously odd little book. The story is about a big fire fighter and a little one who both rescue 1. Are you still with me  Odd right Well the magic of books especially ones with bright colors and a subject that is well loved by the child reading it is that even odd things get a pass. My son really liked this book and happily added it to his favorites for a long time. Firefighters A to Zby Chris L. Demarest is an alphabet book that teaches about fire safety and the danger firefighters face every time the alarm sounds. My son is fascinated with firefighters right now, he loves to dress up as one at preschool and we often take the long way home to swing past the station and see if the engines are in or not. He loves this book but I dont think your child needs to have the level of obsession mine does to enjoy it. The Great Big Fire Engine Book by Tibor Gergely was written in 1. The illustrations are fantastic and I loved that my son who was 4 when we first read this immediately noticed some of the differences. No air tanks, only Caucasian men and the firemen all held on to the sides of the truck. But his biggest observance was the lack of radios and walkie talkies. I love the art work in this book and your kids will too. Firefighters to the Rescue by Kersten Hamilton is a beautifully illustrated look at the heroic happenings of a group of firefighters. Unlike many of the other books on this list we never bought this one, because we took it out from the library so often. The retro  illustrations are so beautiful and the refrain of Firefighters to the rescue is so fun that my son was absolutely drawn to it. Its simple and doesnt go into too much detail which makes it a good choice for kids under 4. Firefighters Speeding Spraying Saving Patricia Hubbell is a wonderful rhyming book all about the work firefighters do. After only reading it twice my son was rhyming along with the simple but well crafted text. I liked that there was a mix of male and female firefighters, that the text incorporates information about equipment as well as tasks the firefighters complete on a call. Perhaps my favorite thing about this book are the details in the illustrations by Viviana Garofoli, the soot on the faces of the rescued and firefighters, the unique angles used in the illustrations and the fun colors. Great book The Little Fire Engine  by Lois Lenski is a simple little book about a fire engine that goes to put out fires. Nothing special but every time my son sees it at the library he wont let it go. In 6 months weve taken it out 4 times. I think the bright retro illustrations and the simple text is what makes it so appealing. Even Firefighters Hug Their Moms by Christine Kole Mac. Lean was disappointing. The illustrations are adorable but it seemed like the author was writing the book more for moms to read than for kids. While some books successfully entertain both parents and children, this one wasnt very entertaining for anyone. I really wanted to like it, and maybe you will but I wont be adding it to any must read lists any time soon. I Want to Be a Fire Fighter Sesame Street by Linda Lee Maifair was a Goodwill find and a great bargain considering we have read this book countless times. Yes its a character book but its a good one, besides who doesnt love Grover In it Grover is getting ready to have a visit from his uncle who is a firefighter and so he decides to play pretend firefighter. He dresses up using a mix of found items yay for creativity and then after his uncle arrives they visit his fire station. He gets a tour and finds out why there is dinner on the table but no firefighters anywhere, because they are out on a call. In a simple narrative there is a lot of great information. Big Franks Fire Truck  by Leslie Mc. Guire is another book that manages to tell a good story and fit a heck of a lot of facts about firefighters and all the different things they do as part of their job. My son loved Big Frank, probably in part because hes so big he almost looks like a firefighting super hero. What I liked was how the book did a good job explaining not just about how they fight fires but how firefighters also teach fire safety, check alarms at businesses and attend to car accidents. The text is long it was a great fit for my son was 4 but I wouldnt try to read the whole things to a child who is much younger than that. Flashing Fire Engines by Tony Mitton is a favorite at our house. Normally even after my son and I read the books we review I grab them to do the write up, this is on my sons shelf where it always is I know the whole thing off by heart as does my son, so no need to grab it for reference. The book is a rhyming masterpiece, somehow keeping up the rhyming pace as it explains how firefighters fight fires and rescue people Details like what gear they wear, and how hoses and hydrants work are included as well as ladders and sirens. My son loves this book and as an adult who has  read it hundreds of times its fun to read,  even over and over again. Fire Engines by Anne Rockwell has been a  favorite at our house for a long time. I found it at a thrift store for twenty five cents and I am definitely getting much more than my moneys worthIts a cute book with easy text and cute cartoon dalmatians as fire fighters. I particularly love that there is a fire boat in the book since we often see those around here. Simple book for fire engine lovers from an author who is consistently well loved by both my kids. LEGO City Fire Truck to the Rescue Level 1 Fire Truck To The Rescue by Sonia Sander is another great Lego book for emergent and early readers. If your child is like my son and loves fire fighters and fire trucks this is a great book. Not just because of the subject matter but also because they may already be familiar with how some of those words look in print, giving them some confidence to tackle this book soloMy son likes to make stations out of duplo and act out this book after reading it. Its also a favorite for rides in the car. Richard Scarrys Busiest Firefighters Ever Little Golden Booksis a throw back to my childhood and one thing I know for certain is that when you are excited about a book your kids will be too. I told my son how much I loved Richard Scarry books as a kid and he was that much more excited to read. The story is familiar but there is something about Busytown that just makes the story more fun. The goofy details and cartoony vibe  makes this a great book for younger kids but my son who is 5. All Aboard Fire Trucks by Teddy Slater is never where i expect it to be in my house, because my son carries it around to read all by himself.
