Southern California Car

I purchased this car from the original owner in San Diego with less than 11,000 miles in September 2013. The previous owner spent long periods traveling abroad, so the car was a driven maximum of only a couple thousand miles a year at best.  After driving the up to Northern California and heading to the San Francisco Bay Area on the weekends, odometer reads just over 15,600 mile. 

The car never was really serviced beyond the normal oil service changes, so I had the car inspected and serviced to comply with any service bulletins and fix any issues.

·         Transmission adapter plug replaced

·         Accessory belts replaced

·         Cam magnet on the front of the motor replaced

·         Air filter, Cabin Filter and Fuel Filter replaced

·         Transmission Filter and Fluid replaced

·         Brake and Coolant flush 

·         C-Pillar do not rub against the roof when down.

Interior Condition

These cars had a rubberized colored coating applied to the dash and center consul. And, this coating was color matched to the seat inserts.  Over time, this coating peals to reveal the black surfaces underneath.  So, when the red, white and blue interiors began to peal, the black surfaces would show though and really distract the look of those wonderful colors.  The Charcoal Interior (like this one) at least does not draw you eye so quickly to the pealing. Most folks either live with it, remove the coating entirely or have it reapplied.

Exterior Condition

The paint on this car is like new! However, there are a few minor issues for a car that’s 15 years old. There are several millimeter size rock chips to the paint on the front, and a paint scratch on the divers side front fender well. I photographed the fender, but not the front as the chips where too small to photograph.

Engine Compartment

The engine compartment is clean and everything is easily accessible. These early models are easy to work on yourself, as the engine compartment predates all the plastic panels covering the engine found on the later releases and does not have all the complicated electronics and software found on those later models as well.

Trunk

The truck is absolutely flawless and looks the same as the day it left the factory. Inside the truck is the six cassette CD player, First-Aid Kit, Spare Tire and tools.

AutoCheck Report

I have AutoCheck’s Vehicle History Report from when I purchased the car and it rates the car at 90.

Accident Check: NONE
Title and Problem Check: No Issues
Odometer Check: No Issues

Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe

Thu, 31 Jan 2013


Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.

Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
