1946 Chevy Pickup Streetrod v8 Auto

    This frame off restored 1946 Chevy Pickup sits on a custom square tube frame, front to back, designed to make it light and fast as well as sit low. Powered by a completely rebuilt/bored out, FUEL EFFICIENT, computer controlled 5.0 TBI GM V8 305 SBC (with horses more like a 350 now after the rebuild, with proper balancer even) it sends 200+ horsepower to the rear wheels with a silky smooth shifting 700r4 4 speed automatic + overdrive transmission. At 50MPH, the RPMs run at 1500, so that should give you an idea of the high speed gearing this truck offers. It is a great cruiser,very very quick also, as can be seen in Video #1, below (Also note that the videos will play in 360p clarity by default, small frame, but you can select at bottom right of video window if you want to see it in full screen, and up to 1080p HD clarity!)
     It will smoke most compact cars on the road, and has no problems jumping on the freeway nice and fast, and stops on a dime with feather light foot pedal action due to having four wheel power disk brakes. 
     Once key is turned to on, and brake is depressed, it roars to life at the push of an illuminated low voltage modern push start button, mounted just below the stereo, in the vertical section of the center console. The headlight switch, in parklight mode, not only activates running lights and licence plate illumination in back, but also turns on a set of small LED lights on the front/top of grill guard, which can be spun around even to shine forward, but set by default backward to illuminate the chrome grill. These little lights go off once headlights are turned on.
    The truck has left and right blinkers for safety, in front, and in back, so there is no problem telling other drivers of your intentions. The column offers tilt, so once inside you can adjust to a comfortable ride height to see all gauges clearly. This truck has an amazing stereo, consisting of 450w amp, pushing a 10" Sony sub, all installed under the seat, and dual 6x9s mounted on either side of center console. There is a separate kill switch for the sub and amp, so if you prefer no loud pounding noise when the radio is playing, you can simply shut it all off separate of the stereo itself. When you open the door on this truck, the foot well areas illuminate, so getting inside if it's dark isn't a guess on where your feet should go, and it is fitted with some very bright map lights inside the rear view mirror, which shine down, so they don't blind you whatsoever when driving in the dark. The windshield fits perfectly with no air gaps around the edges which is nice because I've seen in alot of these trucks with original windows, they just don't fit right. Window crank also works great, so if you want to crank out the front window, one can. Not only does this truck offer GPS navigation through the stereo head unit, it also has hands free phone, iPod hookup, mp3 audio, memory card, internal hard drive so you can upload your favorite playlist via usb cable, and a backup camera system which enables you to see what's going on behind the truck as you back up. One feature it also has, which I've not seen on many hot rods, is a switch on dash which if engaged, turns on a nice bright LED light inside the engine bay on upper firewall. Great for inspecting engine, or just showing it at night! LED lights pull very minimal power off the battery. The speedometer and tach are electric, however the speedometer sending unit is satellite actuated, so it lags about one second behind reality, but works accurately otherwise, and represents every movement you make, just about one second behind real time. There is a new 12v cigarette lighter outlet also on dash, so you can have your iPod/iPhone or any other phone charging as you go. And let's not mention that it is fitted with a nice cup holder, so you can take a drink along with you without fear of spilling it everywhere. The seats are fully adjustable, the bases move foreword and back, and the backs also can be adjusted to get the lean you want, and the truck has new two point seat belts for safety, L and R.

Also, the fan is wired to keep running, even when you shut off the vehicle and exit, until the temps lower a bit.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany

Wed, Nov 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
