#60 Michael Shank Racing Ford with A.J. Allmendinger, Ozz Negri, John Pew a
2012-01-29 23:27:00 (Photo Credit: Daytona International Speedway Facebook Page) What battle for the lead it was during the final 2.5 hours between the #60 Michael Shack Racing Ford driven at the time by A.J. Allmendinger and the #8 Starworks Motorsport Ford driven at the time by Allen McNish that was then turned over to Ryan Dalziel for the final two hours for the race. These two beat and bang on each other, swapping the lead between the two of them several times. But in the end, it was the #60 Michael Shack Racing driven by A.J. Allmendinger with co-drivers Ozz Negri, John Pew and Justin Wilson that captured the overall victory in the 50th (2012) Rolex 24 at Daytona. Hell of a job to Michael Shack Racing and the drivers. And also, great job to second place #8 Starworks Motorsport Ford with co-drivers Dalziel / Luhr / McNish / Popow / Potolicchio. In GT, it was Andy Lally, John Potter, Richard Lietz and Rene Rast in the No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche over the #67 TRG. What an interesti...
Here?s Why I Think Shares of Ford Could Jump 50%
2012-01-27 19:00:00 Many of you invest right alongside me and my $100,000 Real-Money Portfolio. And since your money is at stake here, along with the $100,000 in real money that StreetAuthority has given me to invest, I'm constantly monitoring my holdings. As some of you may have noticed, there's been some real buzz about one of my core holdings… After a solid recent move in its stock, Ford (NYSE: F) needed to deliver a strong quarter to maintain its momentum. The just-released fourth-quarter results are a bit shy of the consensus view, and the stock is being hit by profit-taking on Friday. [Read my original take on Ford here.] Said another way, Ford's stock had risen 19% thus far . . . → Read More: Here’s Why I Think Shares of Ford Could Jump 50%

$82K takes home this 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe at the 2012 Barrett-Jackson in
2012-01-21 21:55:00 (Photo Credit: Barrett-Jackson.com Official Website) So some of my readers may be asking, why would he write about this collector car, a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe Custom that went across the block and sold for $82k on a Saturday afternoon? Well that's easy, as a car enthusiast, I have a list of collector cars including custom ride that I would love to own one day before I died and this particular collector car is on my wish list. Yes, someday I would love to own a 1940 Ford Coupe. However there is one more part to this story. Back in January 2009 at the World of Wheels in Boston, Massachusetts, I stood in line for 6 hours to get Chip Foose's autography. I received a picture with Chip, an autographed discast that I bought just a few hours before and a signed sketch that he did in front of me of what looks to be a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe. The signed sketch was incredible, but the experience of meeting Chip Foose was perfect. He ended up signing autographs for over 6.5 hours ...

Toreador?s Next Move: The ZaZa Merger and Eagle Ford Play
2011-12-16 16:57:00 Environmental concerns about hydraulic fracturing are impacting shale oil and gas exploration all over the world—Canada, the United States, New Zealand—but none as much as France. One year ago, the Paris Basin in northern France was one of the top international shale oil plays in the world. And just like in North America and the Bakken, a junior player was the leader—Toreador Resources, TRGL-NASD. How this world class play got developed was textbook geological sleuthing. I wrote a full length story on it HERE. Toreador’s stock ran from $5 last year to $18 in February this year before the French government took a fast and bold step to ban fracking country-wide—sending the stock to under $3.

Ford Dividend
2011-12-09 08:00:00 Ford Motor canceled its dividend in 2006 as it restructured itself. Now, five years later, Ford will pay a dividend of 5 cents per share with an ex-dividend date of January 27, 2012. Ford does not yet have an investment grade debt rating, which prevents many institutional funds from owning the stock. But once Ford attains an investment grade rating there could be institutional demand for the shares that is missing today. The combination of new dividend, strong auto sales, and potential future institutional buying makes this a reasonable time to start or expand on a position in Ford stock.

NASCAR fans boo First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden at Ford 400, a
2011-11-23 22:51:00 Last Sunday before the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season finale, the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, that saw Tony Stewart capture his 3rd Cup Series title by winning the race, made headlines before even the drop of the green flag. You see, (President Barack Obama?s wife) the first lady Michelle Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden?s wife, Dr. Jill Biden were in attendance to be the grand marshals of the race and when they were introduced and gave the command ?Gentlemen, Start Your Engines?, they were booed by several NASCAR fans in the crowd.You could hear the booing on the live ESPN telecast and it was disrespectful. The fact is, you just don?t boo the first lady, nor do you boo women in general. However, if you want to voice your displeasure of someone or in this case, you didn?t like the First Lady being at a NASCAR race and that would include me, then try being silent. I truly believe that a silence is a bigger response makes a statement than booing someone, besides you?re no...

Congrats to Tony Stewart on winning the Ford 400 and the 2011 NASCAR Sprint
2011-11-20 23:00:00 (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)Oh man what a race, what a day. The Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway not only lived up to the hype, but surpassed it with this tight points battle as it was a dead heat between Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart coming in to Homestead and it was a dead heat between the two down to the end.The last 30 laps were heart pounding, but of course so was most of the race in watching Stewart carve his way through the field a few times after the team had to fix a big hole in the grill from what I would say was parts from Kurt Busch?s blown transmission.But damn, what a drive for Tony Stewart, he drove from the back to the front a few times including a four wide pass to do the only thing he could do, win the race, to win the championship and that?s exactly what Tony Stewart and the entire #14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Team did today.Yes Stewart and Edwards tied in points with the tiebreaker of most wins goes to Tony Stewart.That is one hell of a win fo...

ROB FORD, SINDACO DI TORONTO
2011-11-01 11:11:00 Il sindaco di Toronto. Rob Ford, è stato eletto soltanto un anno fa dopo una campagna molto populista centrata sulla promessa di ridurre le spese inutili e i profitti facili, ma adesso la sua popolarità tra gli uomini politici delle grandi città è tra le più basse del Canada, dopo aver disilluso il suo elettorato e i suoi concittadini con una serie di errori e la paura del taglio nei servizi pubblici.Rob Ford, già assessore comunale e uomo d?affari,è stato sostenuto dal primo ministro Stephen Harper, ma i canadesi hanno ridotto il loro appoggio dal 70% a meno del 40%, sorte appena migliore di quella del sindaco di Montreal. Tra i sindaci più popolari figura invece Naheed Neshi di Calgary che gode del boom economico derivato dalle estrazioni di petrolio.Che cosa ha fatto di male il sindaco di Toronto, la quinta più importante città del Nordamerica? Recentemente ha chiamato insistentemente il 911 (l?equivalente del 118 italiano) perché la troupe televisiva del programma satirico ?The ...

GM reacts to Ford?s MT82 problems
2011-08-17 00:46:00 And while the T-56 and TR6060 trans haven’t always been perfect, GM has always stood behind them.

Ford choose an off-the-shelf Getrag that was rated lower than the torque capacity of the new 5 liter engine. And while ...

Robbe?n Ford, Michael Landau: Renegade Creation
2011-06-25 09:25:00 WANT A RECIPE for a record guaranteed to make an electric guitarist?s mouth water? Start with a healthy helping of Robben Ford, a master of sophisticated jazz/blues and tone idol to legions of gear hounds; add an equal portion of Michael Landau, a session ace with credits that include music?s modern legends (Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, etc.) and a Who?s Who of pop music since the ?80s; stir in a Grade A rhythm section?drummer Gary Novak and bassist Jimmy Haslip?and serve piping hot. If you expect the resulting dish, Renegade Creation [Blues Bureau International], to be a non-stop head cutting session, you may be disappointed?these are, after all, two of the most tasteful guitarists on the planet. Most guitar fans will, however, find that there is plenty of quiet fire on display by each. It takes until the ninth tune, ?Who Do You Think You Are,? for Ford and Landau to go head to head with a satisfying round of trading fours, but not only is it worth the wait, strong songwriting and ...

2011-05-01 20:08:00 Jill's MPGs after her 4.5-hour segment hypermiling in a 2011 Ford F-150 with EcoBoost.After one day with the CleanMPG guys, I wish I could tell you I'm a reformed lead foot. But I'm not. Yet. They do, however, have one more day to convert me. Day 1 was a tough day for the 30 mpg fuel challenge in the 2011 Ford F-150 with EcoBoost as we traveled through the mountains out of LA and into Williams, AZ. Lots of ups and downs. Lots of headwinds. Sadly, we didn't quite make 30 mpg. I managed to get up over 30 mpg in one long stint of downhill driving, but the overall MPGs for my segment rang in at 28.5 mpg. Which,...
