Up for auction is my Chevy SSR. It is titled as a 2005 but production history shows it as a 2006. Ricochet Silver over Pacific Blue. They only made 7 of these and they only made them in 2006 -- or so it says at http://www.ssrfanatic.com/forum/f4/rev-2003-06-production-history-8296/
If you're not already a member I'd highly recommend you check out SSRFanatic.com to find out everything you never wanted to know about these hot rods. This is my daily driver. Its NOT a show car. Its a car that is meant to be driven! It's just getting to that point where all these little things going wrong is just annoying me to the point where I have to move on. It runs great; like I said I drive it every day. But over the last few months I've put in a new battery, replaced the front tires, replaced all the steppers in the instrument cluster ( a common problem in SSR's), fixed the broken handle on the passenger door and put in a new ashtray because the stupid latch broke. The speedo and water temperature gauge work now but the oil pressure gauge is still pegged, and its not the gauge so it must be the sensor. The pressure is fine. Its just one more thing that needs to be fixed. Last summer I put in a new air conditioner compressor and I tried the A/C for the first time after this winter and now it's not working. It probably just needs a charge. Then, to top it off, I get ready to list it and the check engine light comes on with P0121 Throttle Position Sensor. The part is about $60 bucks and it'll cost you at least $200 if you have someone do it for you. Other than that laundry list of problems its a great ride. The front tires are new and the rear's will probably be needed by the end of the summer. I don't understand why the back tires wear out so fast. Maybe it has something to do with the 396 horse power LS2 power plant in front of that 6 speed manual transmission and posi-lock rear end. I have way too much fun in this car, which is probably another reason why I should sell it. Body and paint are excellent except for a couple little scuffs on the drivers front fender and a nice crease that goes thru the gas cap door on the drivers rear fender. Besides all the standard power everything, it has the Bose Premium Sound System and center console gage cluster. The bed is carpeted and it has the hard case locking saddle bags as well as the tow package and a removable hitch (which I have never even attached).
I was thinking of turning this into a project truck. I think it would make a great Baja racer, Can't you just picture it with long travel A-arms lifted up on top of some big meaty tires and a multi-shock setup? It's already fun! How much fun would that be?!
If I haven't' managed to talk you out of it, I set the reserve low because I really need to sell it before I change my mind. If you're not serious don't bid because that very next bid may be the one that hits the reserve and then she's all yours. If you win this auction I expect you to be good for the money. There's a $500 deposit due within 24 hours of the close of this auction and the remainder due when you pick it up. I will not do anything in regards to shipping. You must pick it up. This is an as is sale.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
