THE INTERIOR IS FLAWLESS, THE RED HOUNDS TOOTH IS PERFECT TO COMPLIMENT THE SILVER EXTERIOR. THE GLASS IS ALL IN
AMAZING CONDITION! IT HAS THE RED PEPPERED CARPET WITH FLOOR MATS AND SAFETY BELTS UP FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS
OUTFITTED WITH THE RARE PADDED DASH THAT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE CAR HAS A HIDDEN BLUETOOTH STEREO AS WELL.
THE BODY IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND WAS REPAINTED YEARS AGO, I AM NOT SURE SPECIFICALLY WHEN. THERE ARE SOME MINOR
FLAWS HERE AND THERE AND SOME VERY MINIMAL BUBBLING IN THE PAINT IN A FEW SPOTS. THE SATEEN SILVER EXTERIOR COLOR
IS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY COLOR OF THE CAR. THE CAR IS REALLY NICE OVERALL AND STARTS AND DRIVES GREAT! I WOULDN'T
HESITATE FOR A SECOND TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE ON A LONG DISTANCE DRIVE. THIS IS A VERY RARE NICE CLEAN CAR!

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
