Source: The Philadelphia InquirerJan.迷你倉 05--SOUDERTON -- A frigid snowstorm was looming, but instead of preparing for the hit, Cranford Coulter was busy chopping carrots, peppers, and fennel inside his Montgomery County home.For the last 25 years, Coulter has been cooking up a massive batch of soup and taking it in Igloo coolers to feed the homeless in Center City. Snow, rain, or heat waves haven't stopped Coulter from giving hot, home-cooked meals to the hungry each week.The city tried to stop him in 2012, but he won that battle."If I stop doing this, I'll die," Coulter said, his voice breaking. "This is the one constant I know."Now, a new fight is threatening his ministry. His Souderton home, which on Thursday was filled with the aroma of a fresh roasted turkey and vegetables simmering in stock, is being foreclosed on and listed for a February sheriff's sale.Coulter attributes the foreclosure to missed mortgage payments and the snowball effect of not being able to pay the accumulated amount owed.His troubles started in October 2010 when doctors discovered he had an infection on his neck that had spread to his spine. He eventually lost his online business selling Orthodox Christian icons. Then, in July 2012, his wife lost her job as a bank teller.Coulter has since launched a $15,000 fund-raising campaign to help him keep his house. So far, he has raised more than $8,000 from family and friends.Even as he is threatened with the loss of his own home, Coulter has continued to make soup for more than 100 homeless people who show up each Thursday on the Parkway, across from the Family Courthouse."It could be a monsoon, and he would be here," Anthony McNeal said, as he shifted on his feet to keep warm Thursday evening.When Coulter arrived last week, nearly an hour late because of the snow, he and his friend and fellow volunteer Deacon Herman Acker, of St. Philip Orthodox Church in Souderton, unpacked the ministry car and started handing out cups of soup and the pureed vegetables.Raves for the soup"Hey, Tony, you've got to try this," Coulter told one of the two to three dozen guests who showed up mid-snowstorm to get a warm meal. "It's pumpkin mashies."The men weren't crazy about the pumpkin, turnip and yucca mash. But everybody raved about the turkey vegetable soup.Volunteers from the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Elkins Park, who have been helping Coulter's ministry for the last two years, brought oranges, hard-boiled eggs, peanuts, and an Eastern European traditional New Year's sweet bread.Some of the men are regulars at the Thursday night scene across from the courthouse. Greg Olsen has been having Coulter's soups for 14 years "on and off.""I didn't think it would last this long," he said Thursday evening after grabbing a cup of soup and making his way back to his makeshift home under a bridge.Coulter's mission in Philadelphia, a place he ha儲存倉 never called home, came by way of Minneapolis, where he grew up and attended Bible college.The one constantWhile in college, he met his wife, Bethann, a Harleysville native, and moved east in 1977 to be close to her family. He says he has held about 40 jobs since then, but the one constant he has had is helping those in need: first as a chaplain at Graterford State Prison and, starting in 1989, as a meal provider to the poor on the Parkway.He called his ministry the King's Jubilee and started by taking food to LOVE Park. He later moved to Sister Cities Park, and for the last decade, he has been in front of the Family Courthouse at 18th and Vine.Coulter has regular food donations, from area farmers and church friends who contribute weekly to his ministry.For the McGraws, who met the Coulters at St. Philip's, making spaghetti for the ministry "became part of our family tradition," Phillip McGraw said.Like many of those who volunteer with Coulter, the McGraws wish they could do more to help him save his house and ministry."We ourselves are stretched financially," said McGraw, who has nine children. "If not, we would try to help. I really hope enough people come through."Since his infection was discovered in 2010, Coulter has had serious complications, including kidney failure and several strokes, which he said led to the downfall of his business.In July 2012, Coulter's wife was let go from her job as a teller at Univest Bank in Souderton and lost her health insurance.That was around the time that Coulter and a few other homeless advocates sued Mayor Nutter when the city tried to place a ban on feeding the homeless outdoors. Coulter and his codefendants won, and the city has since moved on from trying to ban outdoor feeding. It is instead working to build a new central indoor venue that various meal providers could use.His wife's unemployment checks weren't enough to pay for their $1,100 monthly health insurance premium, plus their $1,500 mortgage payment.After three missed payments, PHH Mortgage Corp. started the foreclosure process, he said. Coulter said he has been trying to work out a payment plan with the bank, but has been frustrated by what he describes as a lack of cooperation.PHH Mortgage spokesman Dico Akseraylian couldn't speak specifically to the Coulters' situation, but he said the bank had tried to work with borrowers so they didn't lose their homes.HopingOn Friday, the Coulters' home was still listed on the sheriff's sale roster.Coulter hopes that the bank will work with him to save his house and, in turn, his ministry of feeding the poor."I just know that this is what makes me happy," Coulter said, holding back tears. "I'm not anything special."cvargas@phillynews.com215-854-5520@InqCVargasCopyright: ___ (c)2014 The Philadelphia Inquirer Visit The Philadelphia Inquirer at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉最平

Source: Montgomery Advertiser, Ala.儲存Jan. 05---- Jameis Winston was five days from being born, and Nick Marshall was a toddler when Charlie Ward and Tommie Frazier faced each other with a national title on the line.Twenty years ago, Ward led top-ranked Florida State against Frazier's No. 2 Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 1994 Orange Bowl. The Seminoles won a classic, 18-16, but what Frazier and Ward did that night was inspire the next generation of black quarterbacks to believe they too could play for and win a ring.Since that 1994 title game, Tee Martin, Michael Vick, Vince Young, Troy Smith, Chris Leak, Cam Newton, Jordan Jefferson and Everett Golson have started in national title games.Frazier won back-to-back championships after falling to Ward and Seminoles. Martin (1998 Tennessee), Young (2005 Texas), Leak (2006 Florida) and Newton (2011 Auburn) won it all, too. Leak, who shared time with Tim Tebow, led the Gators past Smith and the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 2007 title game.Monday will make the fourth straight year a black quarterback has started in the BCS title game. Jefferson (LSU 2012) and Golson (2013 Notre Dame) followed Newton and both lost to Alabama."It's amazing to see where the country has come in putting the best players behind the center," Florida State passing game coordinator Lawrence Dawsey said. "Look at them as players and not the color of their skin."There were black college quarterbacks decades before, but when you see someone who looks like you doing something you want to do, it makes you believe you can do it, too.It's not racial. It's reality. It's no different than Tom Brady wanting to be like Joe Montana.So when the likes of Young, Vick and Newton were making it happen on the biggest stage in college football, Winston and Marshall were watching.Young, who put on the one of the greatest shows in college football history in leading Texas over USC in the Rose Bowl, made Winston want to play for the Longhorns. Young rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns, threw for 267 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown with 19 seconds left."Texas was my favorite team," Winston said.Marshall looked up to Vick, who ironically lost to Florida State in the 2000 Sugar Bowl. Vick was a one-man show for Virginia Tech as he passed for 237 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 97 yards as a redshirt freshman."I don't remember too much about that game because I was kind of young, but I watched him," Marshall said. "When he came out of Virginia Tech and went to the Atlanta Falcons, the way he handled himself on the field? The things that he did, I tried to put that in my game. We're similar. He's just left handed. I'm right handed. We basically do the same things that I do."Those success stories made coaches realize it could sign a black quarterback build their offense around his strengths whether he's a passer like Winston or a runner with throwing ability like Marshall.Auburn's top three quarterbacks -- Marshall, Jeremy Johnson and Jonathan Wallace -- are black.The irony of Winston and Marshall being in Monday night's game is they were both recruited by a former black quarterback -- Auburn wide receivers coach Dameyune Craig.Craig pl迷你倉yed at Auburn where he set a single-season school record for passing yards with 3,277 in 1997."Those guys have done a great job of leading their teams," Craig said. "Nick was the first quarterback I recruited when I was at Florida State. I recruited Jameis to Florida State."It may be hard for our young generation to believe there was a time people thought African-Americans couldn't play quarterback. Blacks weren't considered smart enough.They couldn't handle pressure and weren't leaders, people said. They had poor throwing mechanics and were better off playing wide receiver, cornerback or running back.Those days are over. Now a player like Winston can have a wobble in his throw and not have that be a reason a coach determine he should play another position."All I know is that he throws the ball where he wants it to go," Florida State quarterback coach Randy Sanders said. "You watch Peyton (Manning), Peyton doesn't throw many spirals, either."Sometimes all of that is overrated. I always tell people there is a difference between being a thrower and a passer. A thrower always throws spirals and it looks pretty. A passer gets completions."The numerous quarterback camps with the 7-on-7 drills change things for the better for the black quarterbacks because they're getting more reps to get better and playing the position year round.Coaches have a great desire to find that special athlete who has the intangibles and skill set to play the position. They're looking for the dual-threat quarterback like Marshall who can take it to the house from 50 yards, scramble and complete passes under pressure, has a cannon arm and can execute the offense.Beyond all of that, black quarterbacks have competed and won championships. Winning precedes everything. When told about the historical ties of him and Marshall to when Ward and Frazier met in Miami, Winston said, "At the end of the day, whoever had the best football team won that game."When looking back at Ward and Frazier, they are eerily similar to Winston and Marshall.Ward came into that 1994 game as the Heisman Trophy winner. He was the thrower with an ability to pick up first downs with his feet. Frazier was considered the running quarterback who executed the option with precision and poise. He wasn't the best passer, but could make tough throws.Winston won the Heisman for Florida State this season. He can make all the throws, but is mobile enough to escape pressure and pick up yards on the ground. Marshall runs the read-option better than anyone in the country and can change the game in a hiccup with arm or legs.Above everything else, the two were winners. Winston and Marshall have proven they are winners, which will motivate the next generation of black quarterbacks to hoist that crystal ball one day.Marshall or Winston will do just that Monday night.(Reach Duane Rankin, an Advertiser sports writer and columnist at dmrankin@gannett.com" alt="" title=""> dmrankin@gannett.com or follow him on Twitter @DuaneRankin).Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Montgomery Advertiser (Montgomery, Ala.)

【特訊】特區政府聲稱建立長效機制,迷你倉但在養老保障角度,政府除了從二零一三年開始四年內向社保基金額外注資三百七十億外,其實看不到有任何可保其持續運作的長效功能。為此立法議員區錦新向行政當局提出書面質詢,質疑其擁有資金的投資保值策略和能力、會否調整社保的供款制度及會否以基金用於興建經濟房屋,讓社保既有高利潤的保證,亦確保經屋有足夠數量的持續供應。質詢內容如下: 『政府從二零一三年乃至二零一四年的施政方針,都聲稱要為本澳社會保障制度訂定長效機制,可是翻來覆去能夠看到的只是自今年起,四年內為社會保障基金額外注資三百七十億。以現時入不敷支的社會保障基金,此種注資方式只是杯水車薪,社保基金還是難免枯竭,完全談不上長效。 記得幾年前,本人曾向當局建議大手撥款入社保基金明確專款專用,並以此大額款項有效營運以扭轉入不敷支的局面。當時社保主席葉炳權在回應時稱,「注資將會動用大量盈餘和儲備,然而政府於基建、醫療、教育、社會服務等各個領域亦需大量資源來支撐,倘若對社保基金作出大額注資,把資源偏重某一方的使用,將不利於社會長期可持續發展。」其實將大額資金注資於某些令澳門可持續發展的項目上,正是本人之意見。眾所週知,當政府收入好,儲備雄厚,官員就會盡力多花錢,建輕軌由幾十億變成百多兩百億,建澳大橫琴校區由六十五億一躍而為一百零一億、起北安碼頭由原來的五億幾變成三十幾億,其實這種瘋狂超支都是情理之外,但意料之中。瘋狂追加當然離譜,但反正公家有的是錢,唔洗就老襯,而且對官員來說,花錢愈多愈顯示其部門的存在價值,況且,錢使mini storage愈多,愈有�數,這樣的事在澳門係人都知。所以將巨額儲備撥出部份指定專款專用,(如撥入社保充實其財政基礎、撥入高等教育基金去協助年青人接受高等教育等等) 減少儲備數目,是對各政府部門大手大腳花錢的一個制約。對此,官僚確有理由反對。但在極度抗拒下,最終還是須分四年較大額(夠不夠大額當然也值商榷)地撥款入社保。問題是社保有否能力好好運用這筆款項來增值,讓它生生不息。又或者有沒有一個較根本性的方式長遠解決問題,以體現真正的長效機制。為此,本人向行政當局提出書面質詢:1.「家有二千,每日二錢,全無生計,用得幾年?」這是老一輩人孩提時代琅琅上口的童謠,時代須久遠,但仍有現實意義。社保基金近年是坐吃山崩,僅靠政府不斷注資以維持。從今年起連續四年,政府計劃額外注資三百七十億於社保基金,行政當局有否計劃如何善用這三百七十億及社保原有儲備以作增值?2.凡投資,都是高利潤自然要冒高風險,所以,投資搏增值也許並不容易。但本澳目前有一行生意是必賺的,就是投資於興建經濟房屋。自從經屋法修訂以後,樓價以所謂申請家團的負擔經濟能力來計算樓價,以如此標準來定樓價,肯定是利錢豐厚。而經濟房屋買家不缺,只要有樓定必貨如輪轉。所以,行政當局有否考慮將社保基金投資於興建經濟房屋,以確保社保有高利潤回報同時,經屋的供應亦可源源不絕,相得益彰?3.從長效機制角度來看,靠額外注資以維持終不是辦法,多年來官民之間亦不斷討論如何整體改革供款制度,例如將現時的低定額供款改而為按收入一定比例來供款,以拉近供與取之間的差距,令社保制度長遠有效?』self storage

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷你倉旺角M.Jan. 04--The University of New Mexico men's basketball team in October donned T-shirts proclaiming this a season of #unfinishedbusiness. Today, as the Lobos open up Mountain West Conference play hosting the Colorado State Rams at 4 p.m. in the Pit after a 12-day hiatus since their final non-conference game, they have another simple message."It's back to business," Williams said. "It's time to go."The Lobos the past two years have been in the business of winning league titles -- both in the regular season and at the MWC tournament. Today, UNM (9-3) begins defense of its league title against the team that was the biggest challenger to the crown a year ago, Larry Eustachy's Rams (9-5, 0-1 MWC).The problem facing the Rams today, however, is the team that finished in second place a season ago isn't the one taking the floor today. CSU lost all five starters from last year's team that finished the regular season in second place and advanced to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament."They probably know more about me than I know about them," said Williams, who scored 46 points and hit 10 3-pointers in Fort Collins in the last meeting between the two teams. "That's something we have to be prepared for."But while the faces opposing the Lobos will be new, UNM isn't expecting much of a change in how the Rams play under second-year coach Larry Eustachy, who landed the CSU job two years ago when UNM's first year coach Craig Neal was a finalist for it."They're going to play hard and they're going to be tough physically," Neal said. "... There's a reason why he's been successful for his career."UNM senior forward Cameron Bairstow said he recalls February's game in Fort Collins, a 91-82 Lobos win thanks to Williams 46 points, as being "the most physical game of the year."He expects more of the same today from post players such as Navy transfer J.J. Avila (6-foot-7, 246 pounds), Gerson Santo (6-9, 238) and Marcus Holt (6-10, 200)."They're still a very physical team. They just have a different set of personnel, really," said Bairstow, UNM's leading scorer at 20.1 points per game. "They're a really skilled basketball team this year. ... Seem to be running a lot more motion (offense) this year and cutting and scremini storagening the four man, which they did a bit for (former Ram Pierce) Hornung, but not as much this year."Avila has been the key for the Rams, leading the team in scoring (19.2 points per game) and assists (2.6). He injured his back at a practice Monday, but played in Wednesday's home loss to No. 21 San Diego State."He's a different dimension they haven't had," Neal said. "He's pretty good. I think he's been outstanding."Junior Daniel Bejarano, who is the top rebounding guard in the league at 9.5 per game despite being just 6-4, is the other key for the Rams after earning Sixth-man-of-the-Year honors in the league a season ago.The return from a wrist injury of UNM point guard Hugh Greenwood, also one of the league's top rebounding guards, could be a factor in trying to keep Bejarano from doing damage on the offensive glass, though junior Deshawn Delaney will likely have the defensive matchup more than will the ailing Aussie. Greenwood missed the past three games for the Lobos and played in two prior to that with the injury suffered Dec. 4 against New Mexico State.RAM TOUGH: CSU isn't exactly feeling sorry for the Lobos as they work their way through the Greenwood wrist injury situation.CSU likely will play without reserve guard Dwight Smith today, a 6-4 junior who hurt a knee in Wednesday's loss to No. 21 San Diego State after missing 10 games earlier this season with a broken hand.While Avila played Wednesday with that sprained back, he's still not 100 percent.And remember, this is a Rams team that in October lost starting point guard Jesse Carr to a torn ACL after he missed all of last season with a torn ACL.TOUGH TICKET: As of Friday afternoon, the lower bowl of the Pit was sold out for today's game and only 11 club-level tickets remained, which can be purchased at the UNM ticket office prior to tip-off. Should those 11 tickets be sold, UNM will extend to four its conference home sellout streak dating to the final three league games of the 2012-13 season.

Source: The Palm Beach Post, Fla.24小時迷你倉Jan. 04--There it was, just behind New York City for Broadway and Chicago for Michigan Avenue: West Palm Beach's Antique Row netted the area No. 4 on Conde Nast's list of Best Cities for Shopping in the U.S.To be accurate, Palm Beach was the tony location that made the list. And Worth Avenue was clearly the top draw for the 80,000 people who voted in the survey. But Conde Nast's Traveler website explained that West Palm Beach's Antique Row Art and Design District helped bring in those on a budget and those ready to splurge."Simply put, there is 'something for everyone,' " the article touts.The top cities were New York City, Chicago and San Francisco, with Newport Beach, Calif., Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Charleston, S.C., Honolulu and Boston rounding out the Top 10.Discover Palm Beach County, the county's tourism marketing agency that spends about $9 million in bed tax dollars each year to lure more visitors, knows shopping is a draw.The agency put out a shopping visitor's guide recently, an accordion-style brochure that maps the shopping opportunities throughout the county.Discover CEO and President Jorge Pesquera says retail tourism is growing in South Florida, and the county wants to capitalize. If you've been to Sawgrass Mills and seen the international tourists buying luggage sets to haul home all their loot, you understand why Palm Beach County wants a piece of that business.What's not on the shopping guide map, but seems sure to help the cause: Palm Beach Outlets on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in West Palm Beach.It opens Feb. 14 with about 100 outlet stores, and the remaining power strip will open in the fall. Ultimately planned for close to 1.5 million square feet, the shopping center will be half the size of Sawgrass. But it will help the area in its retail tourism efforts. City leaders already have mentioned a shuttle service from the convention center to the outlet mall.Front-row seatsWhile the convention center hotel construction won't get under way until February, according to tourism leaders, it reportedly is getting plenty of attention in the industry.And those industry people will get a first-hand look at the location this month, as the Florida Huddle meets at the convention center Jan. 14-16.This is the second of three major events for travel planners and tourism leaders being held in Palm Beach County over a 10-month stretch. Each also includes official Visit Florida meetings, extending the exposure of the county.Last month, about 100 event planners attended Florida Encounter at the PGA National Resort & Spa. They met with representatives of the state's destinations, convention centers and attractions to determine where they will book group travel.Huddle will be held at the convention center with at least 200 attendees. It's a chance to sell the new convention center and hotel combo by pointing out the area's offerings first-hand.And in September, influential tourism leaders will gather for the Governor's Conference on Tourism at the Boca Resort.Discover Palm Beach County has plans to start aggressive marketing of the convention center and adjoining hotel this year, but is waiting on approval of specia迷你倉旺角 stimulus funds.The Tourist Development Council held out $2 million scraped from a capital projects fund -- receipts have been coming in so strong there's extra money -- and asked for project submissions.Those projects likely would have been approved in January and passed along to the county commission, but the TDC board canceled that meeting due to a conflict. The money will be further delayed. Discover has asked for $350,000 this year in stimulus funds for that effort, but likely will get $250,000.Tourist diversionsMaybe you didn't make it to the Boca Raton Resort this year for the pink ice skating rink, or see the Delray Beach Marriott's Sanda Claus sculpture. But thousands of tourists did.In fact, KAYAK.com reported in mid-December that West Palm Beach was the second highest trending destination for both Christmas and New Year's Eve. One in five people checking out New Year's travel plans looked into West Palm Beach. Needless to say, the airlines have hiked fares 15 percent from last year, KAYAK.com stated.Our hotels have been ready for them.Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort rolled out all the stops for visitors far from home, offering special Christmas packages of a completely decorated tree and stockings. General Manager Roger Amidon said the hotel delivered candy canes on Christmas Eve and ferried in Santa via banana boat on Christmas morning.At Delray Beach Marriott, the 10,000-pound Sanda Claus will stay up until Jan. 6. The sand sculpture was created by Treasure Island's Sanding Ovations and shows Santa and his sleigh pulled by sea turtles.And Boca Raton Resort unveiled a pink-ice skating rink that was slated to be open through New Year's Day for guests. The 85-by-40-foot rink of real ice is a salute to the classic pink landmark.Of course those who want to better enjoy the 80-degree temps we've had can try out the new Surf School.Arrivals and DeparturesOver the next six months, Palm Beach International Airport should be up 3.5 percent in numbers of seats, Finance Director Mike Simmons said.But the airport had been running slightly behind 2011 because Southwest Airlines discontinued its Tampa and Tallahassee service earlier in 2012. Silver Airways replaced the service, but its planes fly 38 people, versus Southwest's at 150 each flight.New service to L.A., Orlando and two Bahamas destinations will help.And Simmons said the airport expects Southwest to add seasonal service to Providence, R.I., and Pittsburgh again this year.Planes have been loaded for months -- 85 percent for the 12 months ending in October. That should inspire airlines to add flights, Simmons said.PBIA artist receptionEver wondered about the artwork displayed at PBIA?The exhibit on the Level 2 of the Main Terminal changes on a regular basis, and the current slate of 20 artists was selected from 90 applications and represents the county from north to south.Find out how they came up with their ideas at a reception from 5:30-7 p.m., Jan. 15. No surprise, the works are for sale.Copyright: ___ (c)2014 The Palm Beach Post (West Palm Beach, Fla.)

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.迷你倉M.Jan. 04--OVER ITS LIFETIME -- it was introduced in 2007 -- the Jeep Patriot has endured putdowns and pummelings from automotive media that would have sent most vehicles into early retirement.Spawned from the late, unlamented Dodge Caliber compact, the Patriot was seen as a pseudo-Jeep, more of a poseur than a true descendant of an iconic line of off-road warriors.But Chrysler, it seems, has persevered, still seeing value in having it in its Jeep lineup. Not only that, but through continuous improvements the Patriot, in its final year in this form, has morphed into a much better vehicle than when it began life.For 2014, the biggest news is the availability of a modern, six-speed automatic transmission which largely replaces the droning, unresponsive continuously variable automatic transmission that was the source of so many negative comments in previous years.It's a decently smooth transmission, which markedly improves the little Jeep's acceleration and over-the-road performance. The new autobox makes the most of the up-level 2.4-liter four-cylinder's 172 horsepower.An upgraded CVT is the only tranny offered with the optional Freedom-Drive II Group, a must for serious off-road types with its more hard-core, low-range four-wheel-drive system, hill descent control, butch all-terrain tires (and a full-size spare), additional tow hooks, and skid plateself storage to protect the drivetrain's more exposed parts.Our tester came with the Freedom Drive I all-time, all-wheel-drive system. Biased more toward street/highway use and light trail work, it features a locking center coupling to increase grip in low-traction conditions such as deep snow.The Patriot's narrow cabin is Jeep-simple, will well-placed controls. Cloth-swathed front buckets are a bit shy on bolstering, but comfortable enough. Interior materials are still on the plasticky side, but definitely a step or two above earlier versions.The little SUV handles quite nicely, with direct steering and a well-damped highway ride. Brakes are firm and linear.The overall impression of the Patriot is one of solidity and ruggedness. If iconic Jeep style and all-wheel capability are on your must-have list, check out the Patriot.2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude 4x4VEHICLE TYPE: Four-door, five-passenger compact SUVBASE PRICE: $23,395 PRICE AS TESTED: $26,450 (incl. delivery fees) DRIVETRAIN: 2.4-liter, DOHC, four-cylinder; 172 horsepower; 165 lb.-ft. torque; six-speed automatic transmission; all-wheel drive WHEELBASE/ LENGTH: 103.7"/173.8" CURB WEIGHT: 3,331 pounds EPA FUEL RATING: 21 mpg city/27 highway (regular grade)Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)
