For Sale 2005 Ford Escape Limited

Up for sale is my 2005 Ford Escape Limited. This is the fully loaded top of the line model, which has the following options:



Leather, heated seats, sunroof, upgraded audio with factory subwoofer, factory tow package, factory installed remote start. This vehicle has the 3.0L V6 and full time 4wd. All things considered it's decent on gas... Getting about 450kms per tank. It has had lots of recent work done including:



- flex pipe and ball joints up front (3k ago)

-front wheel bearings (10k ago)



Currently reads 243,000 on the odometer. I'm selling it as I started commuting for work and need something a little better on gas. Selling as is, I don't have the time to take it in for safety. Has a valid e test. Shouldn't need anything to very as I'm still driving it daily.



Asking 3900, but will accept reasonable offers, or trades ( must be a 4cyl, with a manual transmission and sunroof.)

Say What???

This sounds a bit bogus to me. I think the driver left it in gear and/or failed to engage the hand brake, then tried to blame the dog.



The reason? While it is possible he left it in neutral, the hand brake would still need to be engaged to keep it from drifting. So the dog would have to not only bump the shift lever into drive but disengage the hand brake.



To shift from Park into Drive the foot brake has to be applied which seems extremely unlikely.



One cannot overlook the possibility that the reporting is totally incompetent and the dog power shifted into a forward gear. Even so the hand brake should have been engaged stalling the engine.



Puppy drives car into Massachusetts pond - SFGate




Quote:








CANTON, Mass. (AP) — After going for a walk, a German shepherd puppy owned by a Massachusetts man decided to go for a drive — straight into a pond.





John Costello tells WFXT-TV (Puppy hits gas pedal, drives car into Canton pond - Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston ) that his 12-week-old puppy, Rosie, was so excited Sunday after going for a walk at Bolivar Pond in Canton that she jumped in his running car, hit the gear stick and shifted into drive, before falling onto the gas pedal and sending the car careening into the water.





A couple of passers-by saw the commotion and helped Costello rescue Rosie. Nobody was injured, but Costello says the Dodge Neon is a total loss.





The 911 call surprised even police. Officer Robert Quirk says he has never heard of a dog driving into a pond.

WWDC 2014 - Live stream to Canadian Apple TV?

Hi guys;



Has anyone had the Apple Event icon show up on their Apple TV yet? Are we being left out in the cold because we're in Canada? I got myself all settled in with the laptop on the couch ready for a very unproductive afternoon!



And is this video stream loading for anyone: Apple - Apple Events - Special Event June 2014

Where is your part source?

Hey EhMacers, just got a 13" mid 2009 Macbook Pro from my brother who is switching to PC. I was looking at getting his laptop running like new again (as it used to be mine a few years ago).



Now, the battery is unable to hold a charge and the charging cable needs to be replaced. My question is, where do you get your parts from? iFixit seems pricey and heading to any computer repair place is generally pricey as well. I have been checking Canada Computers trying to find a compatible battery that I can install.



If you have any tips or places you get your mac parts from, drop a comment!



Side Note: It currently also has 4gb of RAM. Does anyone know the max capacity of a Mid 2009 Macbook? Wouldn't mind upgrading that while I am changing out the battery.



Thanks!

Music Playlist on iPad

Friend is traveling to Thailand this winter. She has a Windows computer at this time with iTunes installed.



Considering an iPad purchase for taking her music collection with her. Asked me if music could be located on a USB stick and selections chosen and synced to iPad.



How do you discover the GB count of your music playlist ?



I have been rooting around this morning to find answers on line. I gather that many of you travel ( I do not ) and you would be able to offer advice for my travelling friend.



She is open to an apple laptop purchase.



thank you for any and all suggestions
