It grows a foot a day, 60 feet a season and can be harvested twice a year and not even hurt the stand.” WOW, bring it on! Seems like there are all kinds of stuff out there to make ethanol out of. Hi everyone My name is Doug Mizell (co-founder of Agro*Gas Industries, LLC in Cleveland, Tennessee). Thanks for your support of our company’s efforts to create renewable fuels from “Zero Valued Feedstocks” Our Mission Statement is to NEVER make FUEL from FOOD or FEED. We are in development of harvesting equipment as we speak through a Chattanooga company called GREENWAY LOGISTICS. We will use a multitude of feedstocks other than seasonal Agri-waste and kudzu alone. We are cotracting with several fortune 500 companies to utilize their industrial waste streams to make fuel. In addition to that the AG Community can be tapped for agri-waste after the food crop has been harvested. Even the present recalled tomatoe crop could be made into fuel if were made available to us.Processes from our ethanol production will compliment the growth of algae and we can make bio-diesel from the algae at a fanominal rate . Our processes and techniques produce only salable bi-products and NO hazardous waste of any kind. For more info on Agro*Gas you can google search: (Doug Mizell kudzu) and f

Rear end issues

by dano67 on Wed Nov 21 13:57:48 PST 2007

I have had the same problems now twice with only 65K on my 2003 Expedition. Besides this issue I have really enjoyed my truck. The first time I took it to Greenway Ford in Orlando and they "discounted" to $480 for replacing the clutch on the differential(38K miles - nice warranty,2005). On the second fix early this year (65K) I took it to Goodyear and they recommended a drive train shop that does a lot of high performance work. They replace the diffenertial in full for $600. and handed me a little bottle of Motocraft friction additive and said any time anyone services your rear end have then add this to the fluid and to not just depend on the additive that is already in the fluid. Ford has been absoultely no help on this matter or at least their dealerships have sure stunk it up.

Greenway Mercedes Houston

by jimdoug on Thu Nov 30 19:16:44 PST 2006

First time posting a message. I went to Greenway Mercedes in Houston. If you live in Houston, you know that this is the dealership in the center of the city. Long story short, We agreed on a lease price for an 07E350P1. The manager came out to congratulate me on the deal. I go back to the financial department, and they tell me they have "made a mistake" and did not calculate in some "taxes", which now, should be paid by me, the consumer, after we agreed on a price. CERTAINLY this may have been on HONEST mistake, certainly this could have been a used car lot ploy, but whatever it may be, they did not honor the agreed price initially decided by me, the salesman, manager and financial "person", and they tried to get me to agree to another deal, i.e, more money down, longer lease, etc..

Central Florida Escapism

by 6feb76 on Sun Sep 24 05:04:35 PDT 2006

Just yesterday concluded a second weekend and one long Friday of shopping, driving, haggling, and most importantly, researching on Edmunds and others. Honda CR-V was beginning to falter, (after 171,000 miles) so wife and I embarked on a search for a replacement. Used vehicle pricing + higher interest rates made new vehicles more appealing, even accounting for the inevitable depreciation slapdown. We cross-shopped the 2006 Highlander (4 cylinder, stripper models) which have a choice of $2000 incentive to customer OR 0.0% or 1.9% interest rates (48 and 60 months, respectively). Best quoted price out of 2 Toyota dealers in the immediate Orlando area was $23,789. After tax, tag, and title, we were looking at $26,138, which was a richer price than Mami and I wished to pay. Tales from the Highlander forums suggested $22,500 was our target price to pay for such a vehicle, but we have to finance, so we could not take advantage or the $2000 rebate. Plus, the arithmetic said the interest rate saved us more than $2,000 over 5 years than the best possible non-Toyota rate available (I used 5.99% as my comparison, and there is no guarantee we could have obtained that low a rate anyway). Long story short, there didn’t seem to be much wiggle room to get this car down to the $22,500 neighborhood. Besides the two dealers we visited, I also made e-mail inquiries to a third, relayed I would be a buyer at that price, and even selected a white Highlander out of that dealers stock and referenced it in my e-mail. I never heard back from them. The salesperson at Courtesy Toyota who provided the written offer at $23,789 was unfailingly courteous (seems appropriate) each time we conversed by phone, but never gave the slightest indication that there was any more room to dicker-he just wanted to know if I was going to come in soon to complete the transaction. From these experiences I concluded that perhaps we really had touched bottom on Highlander pricing despite anecdotal evidence of lower pricing in other markets. It was time to drive an Escape. Visited Greenway Ford in Orlando, closest one to my work and home, and took home a 2007 XLT FWD, (4 cylinder engine) for an extended test drive that night. My wife is the primary driver of this vehicle, so I wanted her to help decide. She reported it felt a bit more truck-like than the CR-V and the Highlander, which is understandable, since there are both car-based sport cutes, but she thought she could probably live with it. She did not like the leather guts; in hot, sticky, Florida, sticking to the seats is a valid concern. In the meantime, my Friday was spent poring over Edmunds and KBB to educate myself, and getting internet quotes from other dealers. Got a written offer from a competing Ford dealer to sell me a similarly equipped Escape for $23,500 The 2007 Escape is still well-incentivized with plenty of cash rebates or attractive rates from Ford Credit. Most offers expire October 2, 2006, so hurry if you are thinking about this one. (Or wait, for the next big marketing blitz) We returned that car Saturday and asked for the same one with cloth seats. There was one at a different dealership, and so we bought it sight unseen within 2 hours. The deal looked like this: 2007 Escape XLT FWD with auto trans. The 2.3L I4 engine was a requirement of my fuel-miser wife, who is not an old lady but does accelerate like one. One of her shopping stipulations going in was that any Honda replacement we would buy had to get mileage as good as or better than the out-going CR-V at 24mpg in suburban driving. MSRP on the base car so equipped was $22,280. The two options we wanted, moonroof (option 43M) and the audiophile CD system (option 588) add $1,180 to that cost, but Ford throws you the Sun and Sound discount of $585 if you get those two options in combination, so its like getting both options for the price of the stereo alone. The car we were dealing on also had the Rear Cargo Convenience Group (option 21R) for $150. Adding it all up the MSRP was $23,665. Greenway offered to move the car at $23,000. I countered with $22,500, and sales manager agreed. Then I pulled out the $500 College Graduate certificate I had downloaded from the Ford site, and watched the salesman squirm. They agreed it is a valid discount, and I had printed out my class schedule as per the requirement. So the final purchase price was $22,000, which is $888 below Edmunds TMV price and $296 below Edmunds invoice. I think we did alright…at least I don’t feel it was a one-sided victory for the dealer as in my last several purchases. Only then did we mention that would like an appraisal on the Honda. I guess as a measure of how unwelcome we were at that point, they offer us three hundred dollars for it, which I interpret as a good sign that we beat the stuffing out of their potential profit before holdback So we took the Honda to Carmax in Orlando; they will buy it Monday night for $2,000, which we will use to lower the amount we have to finance. Now as long as Ford Motor Credit doesn’t vomit me back up, and my so-far unseen purchase is what I expect, my work here is complete. Hope others find this novella helpful…had to get if off my chest. Can now focus on football.
