Here is a nice 1987 GMC Caballero.  The Caballero is the sister car to the Chevy El Camino.  Since Ebay doesn't list the Caballero in the models I used the El Camino listing to make sure she was listed with the other like cars.  Everywhere I drive this car people ask me about it.  I am the second owner of this car.  Previous owner passed and his son sold it to me in an estate type sale about 5 years ago.  It ran well when I got it but I made alot of improvements.  Originally it was black but need to be painted because it was a little faded and I wanted her to look sharp.  I have had the engine gone through by a professional mechanic - he rebuilt the carburator, installed new battery, replaced the oil pan, installed new brake lines.  I installed some nice 16 inch wheels and white letter tires, had it painted, also converted it to dual exhaust.  I also had the seats recovered and new carpet installed.  I also added a nice stereo system installed with large new speakers behind the seats (It Rocks!).  Stereo also has a USB port.  When I bought it I noticed a slight body roll when I purchased it so I took it to a race mechanic and installed a larger steering (Sway bar - I think is what it's called) system.  Now she sticks to the road like a Jungle Cat!  There is no Body roll on this car!  Exit and entry ramps are a blast!  (in more ways than one). It is a pretty fast car - but I have babied her since she is a little old.  Going down the highway she rides like my Cadillac!  Let go of the wheel and she stays straight.  Will she spin the tires?  YES!  but only one will spin!  Some people have suggested adding Positive traction but I've already got too much money in it.  Is the air cold?  It's cool but will leak down.  Originally I think it was Freon - but I have had some guys convert it to modern (whatever it is now).  Maybe theres a leak in the system somewhere - but it is cold for quite a while.  The suspension is nice - I guess it could use some modern front shocks but the rear is "air-ride".  Yes, you can add air to the rear shocks through a valve beside the gas cap.  The black rubber (window sills?) are dry rotted and rain will leak down into the doors.  when caught out in the rain.  I have kept her in the garage most of the time - I have noticed a few rust bubbles down low in the door panels.  My mechanic says it wouldn't be too much to take care of.  Well, I HATE to see her go but...it's tax time and I am moving out some of my toys.   This is a FUN car to drive - I have used her as a daily driver over the past 4-5 years and I know she will serve her next owner well.  Good luck!

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Kurt Busch suspended indefinitely after losing appeal

Sun, Feb 22 2015

NASCAR has officially suspended Kurt Busch indefinitely after he was found in violation of two specific clauses in the stock racing rulebook, specifically "Actions detrimental to stock car racing" and a "Behavioral Penalty." Earlier in the week, the State of Delaware issued an Order of Protection from Abuse against him after a case detailing alleged domestic violence committed by Busch against his girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, reached its conclusion. Busch and his legal team have exhausted all of their appeals options, meaning the indefinite suspension is official and final. Busch will not take part in the Daytona 500, which kicks off the 2015 NASCAR season today. Regan Smith will drive the No. 41 Stewart-Haas Chevrolet today at Daytona. It's not yet clear if Busch will face criminal charges over the domestic abuse incident. A Commissioner for Kent County in Delaware found that a "preponderance of evidence" led him to conclude that Busch did indeed commit "an act of domestic violence" against Driscoll, but that is a separate matter from the police investigation into the incident that is now in the hands of the office of the attorney general. NASCAR INDEFINITELY SUSPENDS DRIVER KURT BUSCH Daytona Beach, Fla. (Feb. 20, 2015) -- NASCAR has indefinitely suspended driver Kurt Busch for actions detrimental to stock car racing following the release today of a supplemental disposition setting forth the findings and conclusions that formed the basis for the Family Court of the State of Delaware's decision on Monday to issue an Order of Protection from Abuse against him. Busch, driver of the No. 41 car, was found to be in violation of: • Section 12.1.a: Actions detrimental to stock car racing • Section 12.8: Behavioral Penalty "Given the serious nature of the findings and conclusions made by the Commissioner of the Family Court of the State of Delaware, NASCAR has indefinitely suspended driver Kurt Busch, effective immediately. He will not be allowed to race nor participate in any NASCAR activities until further notice. "Kurt Busch and his Stewart-Haas Racing team are fully aware of our position and why this decision was made. We will continue to respect the process and timetable of the authorities involved."
