Up for sale is a strong running 1999 Chevy Tahoe LS 4x4 Police / Fire edition. I bought this car in September of 2007 directly from the Huntington, NY Fire Department. It was the Fire Chief's vehicle and they had kept it longer than they normally keep vehicles because they felt that it was more "truck-like" as compared to the newer Tahoes and did a better job hauling, etc. They removed the light bars, radios, and other equipment and put silicone in on the roof where the light bar was held on. You can see in the pics that the silicone is still there and there is a small ding that has rusted where the bar dug into the roof. However, the Tahoe was maintained without fail by the Fire Dept and it has served me without fail ever since as my utility / 3rd vehicle. The Police/Fire editions solve many of the problems the regular Tahoes have. It has better brakes, a slightly hotter tune, dual batteries, a different grille, and a rubber floor. Right now the car has 124, 286 miles but I will likely drive it between now and you taking delivery. Before you get it, I'll rotate & balance the tires and do the 125,000 mile oil change for you. I'll also include all 4 volumes of the factory shop manual which will help you troubleshoot any issues and take any maintenance action required. I paid about $150 for the set. Here's the details of the car as I know them:

Paint/Body: The paint job is very good overall, as you can see in the photos. In the hot rod world it'd be a solid 5-10 footer as you don't notice the flaws until you get up close. Both the Fire Dept and I have kept it waxed regularly throughout its life. But it does have some scratches, water spots, and wear that you would expect. The car is accident free. It still has in the working spotlight (but it doesn't turn with the handle inside the cockpit - you have to do it by hand), front marker lights, and a reflective strip around the outside that makes you very visible at night. The rubber trim on the left rear quarter fell off. I still have it if you want it but it didn't serve any purpose beyond cosmetic so I left it off. There's a ding on the passage door and the driver's door is dinged where someone tried to break into the car. There's a long scratch on the hood along with some paint missing in one spot (see pics). There's also a dent/crease above the right rear wheelwell with some white paint left behind as part of the lovely parking lot generosity you get in the DC area. I already mentioned the roof. The headlights were replaced within the last 6 months with the brightest units I could buy, and the rear 3rd brake light is an LED unit that's only 2 years old. There is a tow hitch with standard wiring.

Tires/Brakes: The tires have plenty of wear - more than 50% life left. There's some irregular wear (problem has been fixed) on the fronts but they'll be going to the rear. See pics. The front brakes are drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads that have half or better life to them. The rear shoes were replaced about 20k miles ago. I upgraded the lines to stainless steel.

Transmission / Driveline: It has the automatic 2-speed transfer case. The transfer case was completely rebuilt at 105k, and works as it should. It was service at 120k with the transmission (DEXRON VI fluid complete flush & filter change). There are no issues with functionality. The front end was rebuilt at 105k (I used it as a daily driver from 105k-115k) with all new ball joints and polyurethane bushings. The car handles better than factory. All 4 shocks were also replaced at the same time.

Engine: Full synthetic oil ever 5k miles as prescribed. The only flaw is that the belt squeals a little bit after a soaking rain. There must be a slight leak in the hood seal. The engine has plenty of power. I have averaged 15-16 mpg with mixed driving on 2 Hi. It does not use or leak any oil. I replaced all O2 sensors at 110k. 2 New Duralast Gold batteries at 95k miles.

Accessories/Interior: Power doors, power windows, cruise control, heat, and A./C all work. The rear defroster has a few bars gone from the window. The driver's power seat works. There are no rips or tears in the seats. The floor is rubber. There are some stains in the rear and places where the plastic trim has cracked around the barn doors - this was a utility vehicle to me. The dash has no cracks. The gas gauge has a little vibration to the needle but indicates properly. The seat belt idiot light intermittently comes on even when you're belted. I haven't replaced the sensor in the buckle yet. There are two switches left over from its Fire days in the dash. I have a junkyard center console (not anchored down) in the middle of the two front seats. The AM/FM cassette radio works but the speakers and reception can be staticky/intermittent at times.

Any questions - please ask. This truck is beefcake. It will serve you well. It has been regularly and well maintained. I am very particular with my vehicles and have tried to disclose to you everything I knew about its condition. I could've said, "runs good, some wear and tear," but I'd rather you felt more confident about what you were getting into. I would trust it to drive from MD to CA pulling a 6500lb trailer across the Rockies tomorrow.

The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015

Thu, Jan 14 2016

According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
