CLEAN TITLE! I have owned this car since May of 2011 and have driven it almost daily from April-October, and kept it stored the rest of the year. The car starts right up everytime, runs great, drives and handles great, and is a real head-turner. There are some issues that make it not perfect that I will go into detail about, but this cars has been extremely fun and reliable for the entire time I have owned it. You can't drive this car without getting compliments.
Things you should know:
The car needs new brakes in the rear, and they squeak while driving it at this point. That said the car still handles and stops just fine.
The weather stripping shows its age. I have purchased 2 kits to replace most of it that I am including. The car will not leak in rain, but if you take it through a car wash there are some spots that drip.
The hood pull broke last year. I attached 2 Stainless Steel lanyards under the hood to manually open it. It can be fixed by running a new wire, or splicing and re-attaching whats left of the original.
The AC/Climate control all worked fine until last year. Last year the display went blank while it was deforsting, and the car was left with the defroster running. I pulled the wiring from the blower to stop it from running. A new display would likely fix the problem, but you be the judge.
I have smoked in the car, but to me it does not smell "Smokey".
There are some scratches low on the front passenger side fender that are hardly noticeable, and a scuff of rubbery substance on the rear driver side fender that should scrape or buff off, again you can hardly notice either or these blemishes because of where they are positioned. There are a couple chips on the passenger side door that do not take away from the look of the car.
The driver seat has tearing and is in rough condition (the car has been driven!) The carpet on the driver side is worn, and worn through in spots.
The carpet in the hatchback section is in good shape and complete, but has come unattached at the back of the car, another easy fix I just don't have time for right now.
There are some cracks and loose screws in the plastic trim in the rear interior of the car.
Honestly a few of these things would probably not even be mentioned by many sellers, but I don't want to miss out on any detail. I have tried to take pictures that illustrate everything I have just mentioned.
The electronic fuel gauge seems to work fine at times, and be off at times, be aware of your gas millage.
It is probably due for a general tune up.
The Positives:
Clean Title.
A car that starts right up, has been driven daily without incident, and runs and drives great!
Very fast (300HP/330lbs Torque) and handles like a champ!
New battery last year, New alternator this year, K+N air filter last year!
The tires have less than 10K miles on them, look new, and hold air through the winter.
EVERYTHING IN THIS CAR IS ORIGINAL AS FAR AS I KNOW, (aside from the alternator + battery).
The car was repainted RUBY RED just before I bought it, and is very shiny and sharp.
This car turns heads.
The interior aside from the driver side seat and floor is pretty nice. Clean dash with no cracks, overall good condition with the carpeting.
I mentioned a lot of things to be picky above, but in reality they are all things that have never stopped me from enjoying this car.
Includes the original owners manual, and a copy of the original window sticker if you want it.
I believe I am the 3rd owner.
This car is hard for me to let go, and the pictures tell the story.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
