Color: Aggressive (red) Mileage: 88KEngine: 2 liter turbo (this is a GXP)Transmission: 5 speed automaticLocation: Burlington, Vermont (about 3 hours north of Boston/ 1 hour south of Montreal) This car has been my baby, and I have taken great care of it. It and runs and drives perfectly. I am the second owner of the car, the first owner was a GM engineer who also took good care of it (I bought the car private party) The car has been very reliable mechanically with only routine maintenance required, aside from having to replace the passenger side seat sensor. The oil has been changed using Mobil 1 synthetic every 5-6k. Options on the car include:Black leather seatsLeather wrapped steering wheelStock chrome plated 18" wheelsPremium acoustic headlinerSport metallic pedalsRear spoilerXM radioOver the years, I have made a few desirable mods to the car:Trifecta "budget" tune, good for 300 HP.Magnaflow catback exhaust, all stainless steel with dual 4" tipsDejon air intake, color matched to color of carGM PAL iPod integration kitThe combination of the intake, tune and exhaust make for a very fun and fast car. At low speeds, you can hear the turbo whistle and blow off clearly thanks to the intake. The Trifecta tune is terrific, the car takes off like a rocket and pins you back in your seat once you hit the gas. A couple of years ago, I clipped a curb at low speed in a parking lot. The front bumper had a small crack and was replaced, and the right rocker panel (the area below the door) was repaired by a reputable body shop. The paint matches perfectly, as you can see in the pictures. Only selling because I moved to Vermont a couple of years ago, and because of the severe winters here, the car sits in storage for much of the year. I have a four wheel drive winter beater, but I'd like to get something nicer that I can drive year round. Many more pictures in addition to the ones below can be viewed here I have a clear title in my name in hand. I can be reached via eBay messages, or feel free to call/text me at 352-871-1598. Thanks!

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
