I will write everything I can think of here and hopefully I won't forget anything. I hate when people aren't honest when selling their car (I've come across big issues that they did not fess up to). So here is everything. Ask if you have any questions.
I bought this car 11/29/2010 and didn't put the title in my name til 5/6/11. The previous owners did not take good care of it. It has been in an accident which we could see the scrape on the bumper and found out later the trunk leaked badly. How bad the accident was I don't know but you can see where the trunk lid is slightly ajar. I took the spoiler off and resealed everything there (all around the edge and the screw holes) and that took care of the worst of the leaking but it still leaks some - if there is a heavy rain, you don't want stuff in your trunk. Also in trying to resolve everything - my garage got rid of the dry rotted spare but put a whole spare in the trunk which of course didn't fit in the wheel well. After lots of arguing, I finally got another compact to put in there but the rim center is too small for the jack/tools holder part so the trunk doesn't lay flat (but it's at least usable whereas it wasn't with a full size tire). The leaking might be resolved with new weather stripping but I'm not sure.
Ever since I have owned it, it has done a hiccup, slight kick thing when doing a soft acceleration but as soon as you do a harder acceleration, it goes away. Don't know the cause of it and the garage didn't answer that question. Also there is a slight stick to the gas pedal sometimes when doing that first acceleration for that trip (the gas pedal doesn't stick down but you have to punch it to get the pedal to move). I'm told this is not the pedal itself but something else which I can't remember what they said.
The plastic molding around the windows and paint off some of the metal on the window and windshield wipers is coming off. Just cosmetic. I intended to fix and just never could figure out what it was I needed to order. Driver side mirror has scraps from my mailbox post.
The previous owners told me the CD player does not play. I don't know as I have not wanted to ruin/lose any of my CD's so I've just been using the radio.
Service history (does not include all oil changes just the ones I kept the receipt for - I did change the oil and rotated tires on a regular basis):
5/31/11 - Rotors replaced front and back and new brakes put on
6/9/11 - Replaced AC Compressor and alignment
11/25/11 - Front axle (I think passenger side) replaced
12/29/11 - Fuel Sending Kit
1/20/12 - New battery
3/9/12 - Oil Change and 4 new tires (177,727 miles)
4/8/12 - Rotors turned and I can't read what the other thing was that was done (something cheap)
6/25/12 - Oil Change and rotate tires
8/22/12 - Left front hub assembly, oil change and new air filter
9/10/12 - Replaced coil (something with a misfire)
10/18/12 - Front passenger door repaired after a deer hit me (with me sitting still) - A little stiffer than the other doors but opens and closes fine
12/7/12 - Oil Change and tire rotation
12/12/12 - Air Flow Sensor replaced
3/7/13 - Oil change, tire rotation, fuel injector cleaner, Lucas treatment, Transmission kit
The car makes noises, the fabric on the ceiling is separating, the LED lights for the clock/radio don't work well but I've been driving it at least 50 miles a day 4 days a week. I'm just ready for a luxury car.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
