              Look what I've got here for you.         It's my 1999 Chevy Blazer 4x4 that's been totally customized from front to back and inside too. It's got a 4.3L V6 with 5 spd std trans. Stainless Steel Headers, throttle body spacer, K&N intake.       The customizing starts out front with head lights from a 2009 Avalanche, custom made grill, custom made bumper with led driving lights(24hr build time). The head lights are outfitted with HID low beams. Out back you can see Cadillac Tail lights, recessed license plate and led backup lights, molded in fiberglass 1/4 panel skirts and steel rollpan. Also on the body is rocker panel skirts and wheel flares from the USA model Xtreme Blazer. Inside the custom paint can be found along with seats from a Pontiac Grand Am including power driver seat and blue leds in the dash lights.          Also you can see in interior pic is a Genuine BEER TAP(Coors Lite) for a shifter handle.                       I replaced all the Ball Joints, all the Tie Rod Ends, Both CV axles with only maybe 30kms on them now and a fresh wheel alignment done by GM Dealership. The clutch is new last year with maybe 2000kms on it with a new release bearing as well. Brand new Spider injection system installed 2000kms ago, New MSD plug wires, E3 Spark plugs, new brake pads. It comes with 2 sets of wheels and tires which includes the 20 inch in pics plus a set of 15 inch for winter(Both sets of tires have better than 85% tread left on them).        If you look below the green stripe in pics, there is custom painting of Gears, Skulls, and Bio-hazard as shadowing.              This is alot of vehicle for the money so get it before some one else does.              The Blazer has NOT been smoked in and no pets have been inside.              This vehicle is advertised locally and auction may end sooner.  I put the Reserve quite low considering the amount of work done to this amazing ride.           The vehicle is being sold AS IS WHERE IS with no implied warranty or gaurantee.          A $500.00 deposit is required within 24hrs from auction end and transportation must be arranged by the buyer. The vehicle can be stored for a short period of time and after that storage fees apply. Please contact me if you need longer to store vehicle.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
