Located in Wimberley Texas

This is one ugly a++ manly man truck - at least to a woman. It just sits around all day not doing a damn thing. I am certain it sneaks into the house at night because I can never find the remote in the morning, the fridge is empty of beer, and Netflix is paused to the never-released "Starsky & Hutch Meets Charlie's Angels." 

Anyhoo. The Beast or Beauty HAS to go, very sadly. I love her and everything she stands for. I love her history and the journeys she has taken around the dusty state of Texas, carrying the two-man crew to capture in photos the losing battles of beer joints, honky-tonks, BBQ, music and other Texas culture forever. Not to mention, I fell in love in this very Chevy. This old gal has some miles and memories (so does the Suburban).

The exterior is just a mirror of her interior - or vice versa. Interior is rough and has missing center console and crack in windshield but passes inspection. Not up to date on nuthin! The truck is rust free but needs new battery to crank.

Transfer case is NP208C
Right side passenger door needs lock replaced to open
No AC, vent system disconnected
Needs to get hitched to a solid knob (don't we all)?

She is the Suburban of all Suburbans to those who really dote and adore these gals. Perfection in year, history, stories and more. As a one-person income household, it is simply not feasible for me to keep hoping for that extra grand or two to fix her back up to her old glory. I'm saving up for a divorce if I ever catch me a husband, as the saying goes.

More pictures available of the inside if you can stomach it! Just ask!

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
