There is a small community of hippies, recluses, rastafarians and lumberjacks in-between the haves and have nots in Northern California. Sequestered in the massive redwood forrest, this small enclave is marked only by a small Post Office. Entering the winding network of dirt roads is definitely at your own risk. Everyone in the small community knows and respects each other and watches out for their neighbors. So Chatman and I entered in our trusty Jeep blasting our Bob Marley tape. When we rounded a corner both of our jaws hit the ground. We thought we had hit the jackpot as this GSX Clone had us both fooled. A young man who was wise passed his years informed us that we were looking at a clone which surprised us both. I feel that this clone had been created in the 80s or 90s as it just has a great time capsule type feel. So we made a deal and drove it out to the main road. Actually the young man drove it out for me and did a 30 yard burn out in my face, flinging gravel and dirt from both wheels. It was an impressive display and I didn't feel disrespected at all.
In addition to the GSX bolt ons this car has disc brakes, bucket seats, console, and power windows. The air cleaner is not the Ram Air style. The right fender was a replacement. The car appears to have been orange or copper originally. It starts on a couple clicks and shifts hard. The engine has a deep ticking noise. The young man I got it from advised me that a new oil pump should be installed. This car almost went to the Part Yard. They said it was locked up tight and the tow guy came and popped the locks on the door and trunk. The young man rushed down from his hillside cabin and apparently a fussy neighbor had called the Parking Police. This didn't surprise me as the young man had a half dozen power wagons and 3 fox bodies scattered about the forrest. Also the column and under dash wiring will need an extensive redo. What I have for you here is a very cool Buick project. The neighborhood is already abuzz with questions. The exhaust system roars a mighty roar. This car can be loaded easily and sent your way without trouble. Just let us know. |

Editors' Picks November 2023: Toyota Grand Highlander, Buick Envista and some lovely luxury vehicles
Fri, Dec 1 2023It's been a month since we served you with the full lot of Autoblog Editors' Picks, and that master list is going to continue to grow as more new cars enter the market. For November 2023, we have a trio of SUVs coming in at various sizes and price points including the Buick Envista, Toyota Grand Highlander and Mercedes-Benz GLS. And if you're looking for a convertible sports car, the BMW Z4 is one that should make your shortlist, as it finds its way into this month's of Editors' Picks, as well. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in November that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited Hybrid Max View 25 Photos Quick take: The Hybrid Max is the one to get, but the Grand Highlander comes highly recommended for its added space, nicer interior and fuel efficient powertrains. Score: 7 What it competes with: Kia Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Chevy Traverse, Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento, Buick Enclave, Nissan Pathfinder, VW Atlas, Mazda CX-90 Pros: Two hybrid powertrain options; exceptional cargo space; usable third row; refined and quiet ride. Cons: Expensive for the segment; the lesser hybrid powertrain is noisy and slow. From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric, John Beltz Snyder — "The Grand Highlander is a nice alternative to the standard Highlander for the Toyota faithful for its usable third row. The choice of powertrains is a huge boon, too, whether you want a fuel-sipping hybrid, or solid gas engine or a more robust hybrid with extra performance. YouÂ’re just going to have to pay a little more for it all." In-depth analysis: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review: A strong, new three-row contender  2024 Buick Envista 2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring front three quarter View 19 Photos Quick take: The Envista is one of our top subcompact SUV picks. It packs tremendous value into a compelling design that looks far more expensive than it is. A homerun for Buick.
GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall
Tue, Apr 14 2015Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.
