Please email me with any questions or requests for additional pics or something specific at: lonnie.lovaglio@vfemail.net .
This car is completely stock, with the exception of the 19” VMR rims, Bridgestone pole
position S04 summer tires, and upgraded brakes I bought and added to car. The rims/tires were $2000 (I have
receipt) and I have the original rims. It still drives comfortably and there's excellent grip on the street. The
only other change I made were the brakes, I put slotted and cross drilled rotors with carbon fiber/ceramic brake
pads on the car. It had okay braking before, now it stops very quickly. I have title in hand with NO liens.

· Mobil One Fully synthetic 5W-30 (since bought $69.98, $48.64, $66.33, $59.32)
· Prestone 5yr/150k Dexcool Coolant
· Good year Gatorback serpentine belts (the best), 2 on this car, one for AC

· Battery
· Power steering fluid $142.95
· VMR V710 Gunmetal Rims 19” $1000
· Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position tires $1000(used on Ferrari, super grip in summer)
· Security lock lug nuts gunmetal $50
· Air filter
· New Trico Teflon Shield 20-200 wipers ( I have original wipers which I’ll include, they’re in great
condition, I like the Tricos better) $43.80

pads $249.97 (plus labor to install, another $178.89)
· Power Stop Z-26 rear drilled and slotted brake rotors $164.89 (plus labor for pads, shoes and rotors,
another $353.89)

Emissions Test passed -required in Illinois, good until 9/17
The transmission was replaced with a brand new (not rebuilt!) one at 6,000 miles (2nd gear syncro defect) at Gary
Lang Auto, so it truly only has 33,700 miles. I’ve changed the oil every 1000-2000 miles with only Mobil One
fully synthetic. A couple months ago I put in 15,000 mile Mobil One Fully Synthetic, it has about 500 miles on it.
The A/C runs perfect, car shifts great, clutch works perfectly, and the engine runs excellent. Exhaust is in
great condition. The bottom side of this car looks great. The interior looks brand new. The trunk is in perfect
condition, and under the hood this car looks great. The spare tire (yes full-size spare), Jack, lug wrench are
still in-tact. The new wheels/tires are still in perfect condition with about 500 miles on them. The previous
owner kept it in a garage year-round and drove it 3k miles a year in the summer. This car has been well kept.
I’ve owned it for around 2 years and put 3k miles a year on it. For the past year I’ve only drive it on sunny
summer days on the weekend. When I first bought it, I had to drive it one month in the snow, which of course, I
washed it daily if there was snow on the ground; I had an indoor heated garage with car wash bay, so I could clean
under the wheel wells and power wash the underside. I assure you, no salt/snow has damaged this cars integrity in
the month it was driven in February ‘14. Since I’ve owned it, I stored inside the center of a concrete garage
with the car cover on it, so it never sees dust, let alone the outdoor elements.
This is an adult driven car, the only reason I’m selling this car is my new job doesn’t require I travel
anywhere, so it’s only getting 15 miles a month on it in the spring/summer/fall. It’s waste to just store the
car, this car is in top notch condition and ready to drive cross country or anywhere else for that matter.
Extra things included with car:
-Brand new OEM fob and cut-key, just needs to be coded (you can do it w/o taking it to dealership)
-OEM Wheels with snow tires and new valve stems, balanced with stick on weights - $700 (valve stems and balance
another $132) for snow tires with 70% tread left -Dunlop Wintermaxx XL
-OEM lug nuts and caps

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
