Introducing Schizophrenia, an extreme attention getter that has generated excitement at shows all over the East Coast! At first sight, the multi-color paint job and theme are enough to command interest. Within seconds, an incredible seven-stage dancing bed extends 12 feet while spinning before your very eyes! Nearly hypnotized by its dramatic oscillation, you watch as the bed cover splits into 4 sections to reveal a flamethrower that projects 15 foot columns of fire! Add to this scene: balloons, theatrical sparks, a concussion grenade plus colored smoke bombs and you start to picture what an amazing show this real life transformer can give an audience. Over the past 18 years, creative evolution has turned this Chevy S-10 into a mechanical monster on wheels!
My creation is not limited to a particular genre and has been featured in the following environments: car show, parade, monster truck event, air show and art exhibit. Additionally, it has great niche marketing potential. Using my specially designed brackets, banner advertisements can be placed on top of the bed itself and used to draw customers for a featured business. People remember things that are different especially when combined with action! This fact would serve a sponsoring company through product awareness while creating revenue for its owner.

Here are a few specs:
Creator: Jamie Kelley
Theme: Schizophrenia!
Vehicle: 89 Chevorlet S-10
City/State: Asheville, North Carolina
Engine: Chromed out 350 small block
Transmission: Automatic with chrome knuckle shifter
Interior: Materials (tweed, crushed velvet and aluminum diamond plate) / Colors (red,blue,black and silver). A ragtop covers the cab and extends down its back.
Doors: Custom built side mount gullwings, shaved handles with door poppers.
Hydraulic Setup: Completely independent suspension and seven stage spinning /splitting bed! The spin itself has a pneumatically controlled stop. Main parts list: ten modified Hi-LOW pumps, 2 Superwinch motors, Delta dumps, 13 cylinders (various sizes), eight Super-Crank group 31 batteries. 22 solenoids, 23 switches & a ground disconnect. 
Tires: 225/50 R-15 BF Goodrich whitewalls
Rims: 15X8 Roadster wires with gold fluted pans and gold claw spinners (drivers side), 15X8 Alba Inertias (passenger side)
Paint: Base color (Alsa chrome), entire truck was given a marble effect (Royal Blue for the driver's side & Candy Apple Red for the passenger's side)
Graphics: Red and blue glitter flake, ?2 Face on hood & a graphic crack down the center of its theme. Various designs down the sides. A spiral on the bed split.
Stereo: Eclipse cd player, Rockford Fosgate mids and tweets, an epicenter, Sound Dynamic 15's & a Hi-Fonics Genesis amp
Pyrotechnics: A custom built remote control flamethrower (capable of shooting a column of fire 12-15 ft), theatrical gerbs (shoots a jet of sparks 20 ft. X 20 sec. from each corner of the bed), a concussion bomb (extremely loud effect simulates explosion) & smoke bombs (to build crowd anticipation)

In 2007, my creation was appraised by AAG for $90,000 (will send upon request). As of September 2013, the project is for sale at much less than the cost to build it. I would consider some trading, however the trade items must be something that I actually need. Because I built this creation, I understand and would expect to share all relating info to train the buyer. The only reason I am willing to part with it is a need to fund other business related projects.
The truck is in good condition and was designed with maximum structural integrity. Reinforcements are a premium and everything is backed up by failsafe engineering (these include both mechanical and electrical devices). A custom made heavy duty trailer is part of an "acceptable" cash deal. The trailer is open with hydraulic surge brakes, folding ramps, extra tire and hold down points specific to the truck. Plus, multiple extra parts (battery chargers, extra pistons, extra pump head, switches, pyro equipment, etc) will be added. The buyer would be responsible for shipping to their location.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3
