What a great car this is! I hate to sell it -- it was my commuter car for 4 years and has been reliable, fun, and fast.

I drove 70 miles / day for 2 1/2 years, then 20 miles / day for 1 1/2 years. Now I'm living and working in NYC, and it's a big, big pain to own a car -- I've gotten hundreds of dollars of parking tickets, and a parking garage spot is more than rent in other cities I've lived in.

So ... it's way too expensive for the limited use I get (a few short day trips in the past 6 months).

I'm the second owner (the first was a man in his 50's who sold it to a dealership), and I've taken good care of this car. It's fun to drive fast, but I'm a middle-aged man beyond racing age, so the engine, transmission, etc. are in great shape. Here's a recording of the engine.

The car gets off the line fast--I got it specifically because it's faster than just about anything else you can buy for double the price. The supercharger gives it a lot of oomph, and the Recaro seats hold you in around curves and turns.

The car includes a Pioneer premium audio system with shark fin subwoofer and amplifier, but originally had the standard crappy GM head unit. It was the equivalent of attaching a tape deck to a high-end audio system, so I replaced it with a head unit that has a CD player and full EQ spectrum. The sound sparkles now.

The orange/copper paint pops on the road and catches lots of attention. I've had a lot of people compliment me on it. It especially shines in the late afternoon, almost looks like it's on fire.

The interior is in great condition -- seats are clean with no rips/tears. I don't smoke so there's just standard wear.

Body is in great shape except for a 2" scratch on hood (see pictures) from parking in NYC. One of two cigarette lighters does not work, and the cruise control has worked intermittently. The bevel around the sunroof switch broke so I bought a new one but haven't installed it yet. Otherwise I can't think of anything else that's wrong with it.

I've taken good care of the car and have taken it in for regular maintenance and checkups. I replaced the clutch around 55K miles, the current one still feels pretty tight. Always had synthetic oil changes at the prescribed intervals.

I hope to put this in good hands of someone who will enjoy it as much as I have! Feel free to reach out with any additional questions.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Smaller Cars Endure Big Problems On Crash Test

Wed, Jan 22 2014

In a crash test of 11 of the smallest cars on the market, only one vehicle received an acceptable rating. The rest received marginal or poor ratings in the study, providing evidence that supports a widely held notion that smaller cars are among the least safe on the road. No other vehicle group has performed as poorly on a new crash test than these mini cars, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the nonprofit group that conducted the testing. The latest results of which were released Wednesday. The Chevrolet Spark was the only car earning an overall "acceptable" rating on the small-front overlap test, and even that vehicle had its shortcomings, IIHS said. "Small lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage," said Joe Nolan, the senior vice president for vehicle research at IIHS. "That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection. Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories." The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and certain Ford Fiesta models all received "marginal" overall grades on the test, while the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all earned "poor" ratings. Results from these sub-compact cars fare much worse than vehicles sized just a little bit bigger, IIHS said. Among 17 cars evaluated in the small category, five earned "good" ratings and five more earned "acceptable." Only introduced a year ago, the small-front overlap test has quickly become a key indicator of differences in automotive safety. IIHS introduced it as a way to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with a tree or utility pole at 40 miles per hour. In the real world, these sorts of accidents are more dangerous than others, in part because they bypass the front-end crush zones on most cars.

Without a grade of acceptable or better, they cannot qualify for the IIHS' overall Top Safety Pick+ honor, given annually to the safest models on the market.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Sells For One Million Dollars

Mon, Apr 14 2014

NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick loves buying first-built Chevrolet models for charity. He paid $1 million to buy the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible and $650,000 to get the first 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28. Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.
