Fort Pierce, Florida, United States

This is the perfect 4x4 SUV for just about anything.  It has the power to tow, the factory off road package, and room inside for 5 adults to sit comfortably.  I bought this truck last June when I sold my pickup so I could tow my Waverunners and make the occasional trips to Home Depot.  The truck served it function well, but I have decided to start a lawn care business on the side and will need another pickup, so the Tahoe must go.  I bought this truck intended to fully restore it, and it is the perfect truck to do this with because of it being a Florida truck with none of the typical northern rust.  I have done some of the work, which I will list below, but there is some remaining.  I  am offering this at No Reserve, so it should be a great deal, especially for those of you up north still requiring 4WD.  I have Clear Title in hand.  

Overall mechanical condition of the truck is good.  Brand New Transfer Case Motor, 4WD Selector Switch, Idler and Pitman Steering Arms, A/C Belt Tensioner and Belt, and Transmission Flush.  Additionally my mechanic replaced the rear main engine seal as it developed a slight oil leak.  The truck now has no leaks.  The only items identified by my mechanic to replace that have not been done  are Front Struts, followed by an alignment and front tires.  The truck currently pulls slightly right, and has worn out the front tires because of this.  Additionally the rear wiper is not working.  Other than that everything is in good mechanical condition. 

Cosmetically the truck is clean, but still needs some TLC to be perfect.  The good news is there is no rust on this truck aside from where the paint is missing on the rear bumper.  The underside and engine bay are amazingly clean for a 12 year old truck.  The exterior has some dents which are shown in the pictures, and it needs a paint job.  The passenger side rear cap for the luggage rack is missing as well. The alloy wheels show some cracking in the clear coat (cosmetic only).  

The interior restoration was begun by me.  I replaced all the carpet with better than OEM material.  The rear seats were replaced because of problems with the folding mechanism on the old ones.  The new ones fold and stow as designed.  The dash was completely removed and striped, and then repainted, so none of the typical peeling paint on the dash that is typical with these trucks.  The front seats still need to be replaced (although the do operate properly) and some of the rear cargo trim.  The headliner is beginning to sag as well.  All of the windows work properly as well.  Cruise control works.  A/C blows cold.  

The stereo was replaced with a new Kenwood CD Player with USB and Aux inputs on the front.  It has a remote control as well.  I bypassed the factory amplifier as it wasn't working (common problem in these trucks), so the head unit powers all of the speakers now.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
