PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW = It will probably save us both some time.

If for some reason I've missed something that you have a question to, I would be glad to answer it.

A few months after buying this car from a friend, my brother in law joined the Navy and needed someone to take care of his SUV for the next 6 years.  I don't need to sell this car, but I also don't need it sitting around on storage insurance.  The previous owner moved to New Orleans and needed the money, otherwise he loved the car and would've kept it.  For the few months I've driven it, I've had no problems.  I've gone to Vancouver, WA from Renton a few times, and then once a week local driving, or to Seattle (I work from home).  It gets good gas mileage although I don't recall what it is.

The only things I've done since buying it was have a new windshield installed for $300, a full interior clean/steam/shampoo for $150, alignment tuned, a new cabin filter and two synthetic oil changes.

I bought the car knowing the following from the previous owner...

-he hit a guardrail which damaged the front hood as seen in the second picture.  The radiator was replaced but the cosmetic damage was left.  Sometime after this repair, the check engine light came on and now stays on.  He paid for a diagnostic report to be run, which confirms it's OBD-II code P0128, which I can show you.  There are five possible causes for this code, which you can find by searching google for "OBD-II code P0128".  ebay won't let me include a link, so when you get the list of results from google, chose the link that has "obd code p0128" in the actual link.  Of the five possible causes listed, it is not low engine coolant and not likely a faulty cooling fan, as it turns on and off as expected.  Therefore the cause must be one of the remaining three listed.  I haven't had it looked at because the car runs fine and now after getting the brother in laws SUV, it doesn't make sense for me to spend the money on it.

-he backed into something, which caused the damage seen in the third picture.  Again this is cosmetic and doesn't make sense to spend money on.

-had a CD/stereo professionally installed with a sub and amplifier in the trunk, but there's still plenty of trunk space.

-spent a little over $1K for new 16" rims and tires.  There is also a set of snow chains.  However, the TPMS sensors didn't get put back on.  Therefore, the indicator light that tells you when your tires need to be inflated stays on.  The estimate from Firestone Complete Auto Care to have new sensors installed is $440 for labor, parts and tax.  I didn't have this done because I don't need my car to remind me of the obvious--check your tires every once in awhile.  :)

-he had tint installed in Texas.  It was done well.  The back window is darker than the side windows.

-there is 1 small cigarette burn in the passenger seat and 1 small burn in the drivers seat from the previous owner.

I would like to get $3,500, which is what I paid for it.  If I can't sell it for this then I'll continue to pay storage insurance for six years because eventually I'll need a car again.  I also have a car fax report, but it says the same thing as the above report that ebay is providing as part of this listing (click the "Vehicle History Report" tab).

If after reading the above, you would like to see the car or take a test drive with me, please send a message on here with your number.  Let me know if I can text, or if I should call.  Since I'm only paying storage insurance you will need to come to Renton and will only be able to drive it around the neighborhood.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

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.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
