A CURRENT AND FUTURE CLASSIC

Delivered new in Kenner, LA in November 2011, this exceptional car came to me as a Christmas gift to myself. 

Boys and their toys, right?

This car has been affectionately named "Afternoon Delight." 

It's on You Tube at http://youtu.be/8FmAh3IqjMU

In case you are wondering if that mileage is a typo, no it's not a typo,  it's got less than 2,000 miles on the clock and is as close to perfect as they come.

After looking over the manufacturer's statistics for the 2011 model year we learned that this car, as equipped, is fairly rare. They made 13,596 Vettes in 2011 and of those, this is one of about 200 Grand Sport Convertibles equipped with the 4LT and the Heritage Package with Velocity Yellow Tintcoat paint.

I think the really interesting detail is that this one has the 6 speed, as all Corvettes were meant to have. But somehow over the years it seems that an inordinately large number of the Corvettes are coming with Automatics. I point that out to you as someone who is likely wondering if this car is not only fun to drive, but also collectible. If you check out Corvette Blogger.com at this link http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2011/07/22/final-2011-corvette-production-statistics/ you can check out the data for yourself as to how few 6 speeds are out there. The Vettes that bring the money at the collector car auctions are the sticks, not the automatics.

It has the Heads Up Display, NAV System, Bluetooth, USB connection, fully leather wrapped interior, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, Dual Mode Exhaust which makes you happy every time it exceeds 3,000 RPM,  and every option I could think of. I think its accurate to say it's fully loaded and offers no excuses.

Frankly it is one fantastic piece of eye candy and a blast to drive.

I have it stored in a climate controlled garage in the Tampa area, and since it rests on its little carpet pads more than I drive it, a battery tender is constantly connected and comes with the car.

Little details like the keyless entry are something I am very fond of, and this car comes equipped with a spare Keyless Entry Fob.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.

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.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
