I purchased this car 11 years ago off eBay through a Corvette dealership in Arizona with 124,908 miles and it’s been garage kept since I’ve owned it. I brought it to Ohio, where it’s never seen a day of snow or rain.  I planned on keeping this car, but I recently moved to Florida and starting to offload some of the cars I've collected over the years.  So it’s time to let this SS go to someone who can enjoy the fun it brings.  Ok, here's what I know about the car.  When I bought this car I could tell that it must have received some damage in the right front fender.  The front doghouse has been re-spot welded, and the car appears to be repainted.  There is no frame damage that I can tell of, drives straight and the alignment is spot on.  The heritage graphics are under the clear coat, which was not done through the factory or SLP, which makes it nice as they won’t peal off or fade.  The door jams received some overspray which overtime caused the paint to flake off, but the good is the original white paint under is in great shape, and I’ve color sanded those flakes to blend them in.  There is a small run in the clear coat right under the passenger mirror which I haven’t had time to fix, plus you have to be looking for it to find it.  Pretty simple job to do by scrapping off the excess clear and buffing it out. I replaced the inner fender wells with OE replacements from GM as it’s almost impossible to removed overspray from there.  Outside of that, there is no damage on the exterior or interior.  The LT1 runs really strong and its a monster.  With any car I own, I always start with upgrading the suspension and moving into the driveline.  The driveline is pretty stout, but the suspension on the f-body can always be improved upon.  With the upgrades I've done it handles like it's on rails and sticks to the ground.  The t-tops don’t leak in anyway, granted I’ve never driven the car in rain, but it’s never showed any signs of leaking from washing.  The spare tire appears to have never been used.  The AC blows nice and cold.  There is a crease in the passenger side window tint towards the upper right corner, it was this way when I bought the car.  All fluids have been changed to synthetic.  Everything works as it should; windows, locks, mirrors, lights, gauges, etc..  The oil's always changed at 3000 miles or 6 months, but to be honest it's every 6 months as I barely put a 1000 miles on in a year.  If any part needs replaced, its always top end OE parts.  I will not put cheep anything, in any of my cars.

Here’s a list of the upgrades I’ve done so far.

2016 Chevrolet Equinox gets styling tweaks, not much else

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The current Chevy Equinox debuted over five years ago, in late 2009. Since then, the midsize crossover segment has become increasingly important, with brand-new entries meeting substantially overhauled versions of existing nameplates. But the Equinox carried on, largely unchanged. And while Chevy is using its Chicago Auto Show stage to debut the freshened, 2016 Equinox, it appears there isn't a whole lot to talk about. Take a look at the updated Equinox's exterior and you're pretty much going to see all that's new for 2016. Sure, the Chevy still boasts a handsome, inoffensive design, and it's now upgraded with things like LED running lamps on top-level trims, as well as new 17- and 18-inch wheel designs, projector beam headlamps, and revised taillamp styling. Moving inside, Chevy has added a standard seven-inch color touchscreen to all models, which includes a backup camera. New-to-Equinox safety features like side cross traffic alert and side blind zone alert are also available for 2016. And really, that's about it. Powertrain options carry over from last year. On the base end, there's a 2.4-liter inline-four that's good for up to 32 miles per gallon on the highway (with front-wheel drive). Buyers can also opt for a 301-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 that allows the Equinox to tow up to 3,500 pounds. Will this be enough to keep the Equinox fresh in its highly competitive class? In 2014, the Equinox did outsell lower-volume competitors like the Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester, but was bested by fresher offerings like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4. Have a look at all there is to know about the 2016 Equinox in the press blast below. We'll have live images and more impressions direct from the Chicago show floor, soon. Fresh Face: Chevrolet Introduces Restyled 2016 Equinox Premium cues, new safety features enhance Chevy's record-selling compact SUV CHICAGO – Chevrolet today introduced the 2016 Equinox – a contemporized version of the popular compact SUV. Updates include new styling with premium accents, new wheel designs and new available safety features, as well as a larger color touchscreen radio and a standard rear-vision camera for entry-level models.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
