I bought this vehicle a couple of years ago during a better financial time. I hate to see it go but its time for it to find a new home. The car was victim to some minor vandalism that was never resolved and I don't have the money to put into it for the repairs. It runs great and spends most of its time sitting in my car port. I've replaced the problem plastic intake tubes that became common problems on this car with custom made stainless steel versions powder coated gloss black and they work and look excelent. This car runs smooth. When I bought the car I drove it from New York to Key West with no problems. I've since taken it from Key West to Maryland, Maryland to Northern Georgia and back to Key West again with no problems. This is a little driving machine. It still has plenty of power and feels like driving a little race car although I've always babied it. The wheels and tires are still in good shape, rims are only a couple years old. Interior is in great shape, driver seat does have small gap in seam, nothing big. Floors and trunk are carpeted with black carpet. Dashboard has a couple small cracks, it's 40 years old, what can you do? I'll put links to videos of me driving the car below. The purchase of the vehicle will be dealt with through my bank so no need for any worry. I will require a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of winning the auction, non-refundable for non-payment. In the event of a non-buyer I will consider re-listing the car. If it should not sell I do intend to have the paint repaired and trying to sell again with a greatly increased price. I am a very busy student and selling this car would make my life much easier right now. It will be my ticket to flight school and I would rather sell it than trouble with repairs and the right buyer. Take advantage of my misfortune and get this car for much less than what it is worth. The right person could make this rare car remarkable. There aren't many left around, especially in this good of condition. Message me with any questions and I'll respond as quickly as I can. I'll post more pictures as soon as I can. Request any and I can text them to your phone or email them. Thanks for your consideration and good luck bidding.

Tesla, BMW and Nissan meeting in secret to discuss charging tech

Tue, Jun 17 2014

It's interesting what's happening in the electric vehicle field. It used to be that BMW and Tesla were competitors. Then – and of course they're still competing, especially in the public mind Â– they were working together on ... something. Maybe. And now, the Financial Times reports that the two luxury automakers are meeting with Nissan. Again, maybe. The scuttlebutt is that the three companies are interested in working together on something to do with charging electric vehicles, potentially a global recharging standard. Currently, when it comes to fast charging, BMW uses the SAE Combo standard, Nissan uses CHAdeMO and Tesla uses its own Superchargers. The meeting was prompted by Tesla opening of all of its patents the other day, FT says. Speaking during the recent annual shareholder meeting, Musk said he was "more than happy to have other manufacturers" use Tesla's Superchargers but that, "there is no other electric car that can accept anything close to 135 kilowatts." Let's assume the technical hurdle can be overcome. With any potential patent/licensing problems out of the way, these discussions with BMW and Nissan might be revolving around this other angle that Musk mentioned: "They (other automakers) just have to contribute to the capital cost, so figure out what percentage of the time are their cars using the Supercharger network and then they can make a contribution proportionate to their customer usage of the Supercharger network." That certainly sounds like something that could take some time to figure out.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Lil Wayne's daughter gifted Ferrari GTO, BMW X4 for 16th birthday [w/video]

Thu, Dec 4 2014

It must be nice to have ludicrously rich parents. Rapper Lil' Wayne's daughter Reginae recently celebrated her 16th birthday with a huge party in Atlanta. Where many teens would be overjoyed just to get a family hand-me-down for a first car, the rapper's daughter got two brand-new vehicles – a BMW X4 and a Ferrari 599 GTO. The X4 would certainly be extravagant by itself, but it's not totally without precedent. Anyone who watched even a snippet of MTV's old show My Super Sweet 16, probably saw a few vehicles that were just as expensive. However, the concept of any newly licensed teen behind the wheel of a Ferrari is absolutely terrifying to us. This one is even crazier, with 661 horsepower and a chassis capable of lapping Ferrari's Fiorano test track quicker than an Enzo. Of course, with just 599 built, Reginae could probably just park the coupe and let it appreciate enough to finance her next big party. The BMW is reportedly going to be her daily driver, anyway. According to TMZ, Reginae's mother and stepfather bought her the Ferrari with Lil' Wayne's blessing. They believe their daughter can handle the 599 GTO, which shows some serious Â– if misguided Â– trust. Check out the video below to see the cars and her party.
