Originally there were to be 100 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro's built. That was the idea from the
Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog, page 44, in 2010. To get one you had to call an (800) number
on October 19th 2010 at 12:00 E.S.T. and cross your fingers. All 100, were "snapped up", in under
3 minutes. They were to be delivered in April 2011 but that didn't happen. Those of us on the list were
informed in March 2011 that they would be delayed till mid-Summer, 2011. Once they were built and
shipped, only 75 of these cars were built in total ( 30 Manual and 45 Automatic transmissions ). There
was no actual explanation as to why the additional 25 were not built.
This one was built on July 5th, 2011 and was the 12th one produced. They were shipped in enclosed
trucks. I picked mine up on July 11th. Each of these cars has their very own Birth Certificate as well
as a window sticker with a M.S.R.P. of $75,000. Aside from the COPO Camaro, these are the rarest of
the 5th Generation Camaro's made.
I spoke to the actual company that painted the cars for G.M. in Michigan. I got ahold of them to see if
I could get some of the paint they used so I could paint the rear difusser the same as the body. They were
very helpful. The person I spoke to said G.M. asked him to paint a dozen cars then they wanted to see
them in person. When they did see the cars, they said the paint was too perfect. They wanted the "orange
peel" finish on the cars to look like all other factory painted Camaro's. Then he asked me which number
I had and I told him, the 12th. He said I got one of the "good ones". I asked him his opinion as to how much
it would cost to paint my other Camaro the same color. He said over $20K, easily, as they dismantled the car to
paint it. If you open the hood you will notice the engine bay is gloss black. Besides, this tri-coat paint is really expensive.
The window sticker calls the paint "Bordeaux", which is not the actual name after all.
The color is "Mystic Bronze Metallic". You will notice that is does not actually photograph all that well.
When you see one in person, depending on the light, it looks purple, brown, bronze or burgandy.
The paint on this car is perfect. No scratches, chips or dings. It has only been washed 1 time in 19 months.
It has been waxed 9 times. It is kept in an air conditioned and heated garage, under a silk Cover-King cover.
It has never been driven in the rain or even parked outside over night. The top has only been down 5 times.
Before it had 20 miles on it it went to Pro-Tech and got a clear bra treatment . It covers the entire front, lights,
mirrors, rocker panels and bottom rear quarter panels. They did an awesome job then jabbed me with a $1,600 bill for it ( worth it! ).
 Now, last thing regarding the paint. Devious Designs, here in Las Vegas, is the best in the business when it comes to painting cars.
 The owners literally said that this car has one of the best paint jobs they have ever seen in regard to quality, the wet sand, and the clear coat.
They are also the people who painted the other parts on this car.
The stock, all original car was , yes, really cool. But, I have never been one to leave it at that. Keep in mind that
I have all the O.E.M. parts and the car can be returned to "stock" with ease. In my opionion, I took over from where
the designers quit. Like I mentioned prior, I had the rear difuzzer smoothed and painted the body color. It just
looked unfinished and it really made a big difference. While we were doing that I had a Borla A-Tac cat back
exhaust installed, with an X pipe. It needed to sound like a Camaro, not a sewing machine. After that I installed
the roll bar. With the top down, it looked like it needed to look "tougher", and now it looks really much better than before.
The rims were exclusive on the car. The polish that was done it extremely nice but they didn't accent the cars
colors. My thought the Amber interior would benefit from a gold center mesh rim. I got ahold of Forgeline Racing
and told them what I wanted to do. Not only did I want a "one off" rim, but I wanted a center lock rim. They make
a custom kit that eleminates the lug nuts. They are very light, very cool and over $2,200, each. While that was going
on, we installed Eibach Pro springs to lower the car 1 1/2 inches, all around.
There was something bothering me about the front grille. There was no accent and looked like most other Camaro's. I
ordered the Heritage grille and had it painted the matte gray that the windshield frame came with, another big difference in appearance.
The windows got the latest 3M tint applied, not too dark , just right. The engine is left stock. It's hard to return a car to original if you start
doing motor work. It's a really rare car so I want the value to stay as high as it can. It got an oil change at 500 miles. The car has 960 miles on it.
That from going to some car shows and the Saturday morning car club meets. That is an average of 1.7 miles per day but is no "daily".
This is a great car to add to a collection or as a display for a car audio company.

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor

Sat, Apr 30 2016

Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’

Wed, Mar 4 2020

WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.
