Honest list of condition issues below : SEE PICTURES!!
  • Paint is good. Minor blemishes nics.
  • Tires are ok best tires on rear.
  • A/C works for the summer if charged.
  • Vanity light on passenger sun visor does work if you flick the little switch a bit.
  • Passenger side power window motor needs replacing along with the passenger side power lock plug and power window plug (cheap).
  • Weather stripping on drivers side windshield pillar is deformed at the top.
  • Drivers side t-top headliner is not attached but will be included.
  • Small defect in drivers t-top weather stripping (about 2inches) where it mates with window. This is the only spot where the t-tops would let in water and that only happened in a car wash really.
  • Small rust hole in the passenger side floor pan. Two rust holes on the drivers side floor pan. All in the pictures.
  • Rear drivers side body mount behind rear tire missing. Oddly enough this one mount just rusted off just noticed. Rest of the mounts look fine as far as I can see.
  • Smog pump has been removed but will include it along with the original valve covers.
  • Rear passenger side differential seal is wet. Have checked and even replaced the fluid in it with posi-traction/limited slip additive. Its never been low.
  • The power antenna is hooked to the radio but radio is newer CD player and does not operate the antenna motor. Antenna is currently in the up position.
  • The horn clicks but doesnt make a sound. Think the front horns need replacing.
  • Drivers side window regulator has slop and will need rebuilding (which is why the drivers windshield pillar weather strop is a bit crumpled at the top).
I listed honest condition here you should expect to fix if you purchase this vehicle. I want you to be happy with this vehicle and enjoy it as much as I have.

Suzuki Authentics Concept is genuine but drab

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Looks can certainly be deceiving. Have a glance at this new Suzuki Authentics concept, for example - we were told that this would, essentially, be a proper sedan version of the new SX4, but our folks on the ground in Shanghai tell us it's actually much larger. Like, bigger than the Kizashi. (Hey, remember the Kizashi?)
Regardless, Suzuki says that the Authentics concept previews a C-segment vehicle for the Chinese market. A good move, too, since that segment has the highest volume in the Chinese market. (That's why automakers like Ford, for example, have more than one offering in the class.) If we're honest, the Authentics concept looks a bit "meh" for our tastes - there isn't a whole lot of emotion going on here with the design. Consider it a competitor for that spiffy new Ford Escort that also took the stage here in Shanghai.
We don't have any more details about the Authentics concept at the moment, but considering the fact that Suzuki has officially exited the US market, at least we don't have to worry about this thing showing up on our shores anytime soon.

Land-speed racer Bill Warner dies from motorcycle crash at 285 MPH

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Motorcycle land-speed record holder Bill Warner died yesterday after crashing during an attempt at setting another record. The 44-year-old was clocked at 285 miles per hour on the runway of a former air base in northern Maine, before he lost control of his modified Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle and veered off the runway.
It is not known what speed he was traveling when things started to go wrong and unclear what caused the crash, which happened shortly before 10:00 AM. Warner's crew suspect there were mechanical difficulties on his last run, in addition to a slight breeze, according to the video news report. Warner was conscious and able to speak after the crash but died an hour and 15 minutes later at a hospital in Caribou. The event and runway were closed for the rest of the day as police investigated the incident.
Warner was participating in "The Maine Event" at Loring Air Force Base in an attempt to reach 300 mph in one mile. Warner's best land-speed record, set in 2011, was 311.945 mph in 1.5 miles on the same runway, according to the Loring Timing Association, a record that still stands today for open-cockpit motorcycles. After that run, Warner said the scariest part was stopping the bike before the end of the runway. Be sure to check out the video news report after the jump.
