Feast your eyes and senses on our broke-down 2003 GMC Envoy SLT. I’m going to be blunt about this so that there is no misunderstanding: this vehicle does not run currently. A coolant leak led to a head gasket failure and a dramatic engine stall at the bottom of a giant bridge, and that’s all she wrote.

Beyond the obvious of it not running, the vehicle is in pretty good shape. It has nice leather interiors with heated seat warmers that my wife loves so much that she almost forced me to shell out the cash to get the vehicle fixed. Thankfully, coolant heads prevailed (AUTO HUMOR). Other amenities include: 6-CD changer AM/FM Hi-Fi Stereo with futuristic steering wheel controls; Moon roof – vampire friendly; Third row seats for transporting people you don’t like very much; Cruise control – for cruising – like they did in the ‘50s; Automatic windows and locks – just like every other car manufactured after 1989; Tinted windows, so you can do things you don’t want other people to see you doing, you naughty thing; Recently changed oil; Full tank of gas (wish I’d have seen this coming before I filled it up); Zone specific AC/heating – it’s like a bubble of comfort. And so on and so forth.

So here we are – time to sell the vehicle we’ve come to affectionately refer to as the S.S. Slut.

Here are just a few things you could do with this vehicle, should you choose to buy it:

-Replace the engine and go on a cross-country tour to re-enact Jack Kerouac’s On the Road

-Make it a paper weight for very large reproductions of the U.S. Constitution

-Convince actors Craig Robinson and Rob Corddry to use it as a prop in Hot Tub Time Machine 3:
                 S.S. Slut

-Crush it into a giant cube and stack it in a pile of other giant car-cubes to build a 1/30 scale
                 model of the Empire State Building

-Strip it down for parts and light it on fire to ward off night-time attacks from the Zed Runners

-Fix it and let your teenager crash it into a pole one week after he gets his license

Whether or not any of these things are possible are totally up to your imagination and/or the laws of physics.

Here’s my deal: I don’t want any hassle selling this thing. I’ve been through enough. Negotiation is hassle and will not be engaged in. We set a modest reserve, but beyond that, the winning bidder gets the prize. Payment can be through cashier's check or straight cash, homey.  Regardless of the tone of this listing, joke bids will be dealt with by honey bee attack and/or negative feedback rating. CAN YOU NOT SEE I’M SERIOUS ABOUT SELLING THIS VEHICLE?! DON’T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS!

You will be responsible for moving this (again-NOT FUNCTIONING) vehicle from the streets of South Philly with the clear title in your hand.

Love,

The Captain of the S.S. Slut

Supercharged 2015 GMC Yukon Denali sounds evil, runs 0-60 in 4.5 seconds

Sun, Dec 7 2014

Speeding along in a sports car is undoubtedly a ton of fun, but some owners need the ability to carry a lot of people and their stuff and don't want to sacrifice the ability to put the power down. The tuners over at Hennessey have that demographic covered with their growling, supercharged power kits for the GMC Yukon Denali. The upgrades come in three forms for the SUV's 6.2-liter V8: HPE550 with 557 horsepower, HPE600 with 605 hp and HPE650 with 665 hp. This video showcases the full-bore version, and this Denali can definitely hustle in a straight line. The power bump comes courtesy of a 2.9-liter supercharger, intercooler and high-flow cylinder heads to add over 200 horsepower compared to stock, and the final result is a bellowing SUV that rears up off he line to throw the driver back into the seat. The sprint to 60 miles per hour lasts just 4.5 seconds. Check out this hasty hauler in action in the video above.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving

Tue, Oct 11 2022

WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
