The extent of my mechanical lingo involves words like "thingies," and "Do-hickies," so please bear with me.

This vehicle was in an accident and was hit in the rear passenger side. The rear passenger wheel was at, let's just say, a "goofy" angle, and definitely was not able to be driven. It was salvaged by the insurance company and for whatever reason, they gave the stupid car back to us, so it's in our driveway. Before the accident, it was a really decent car and had a lot going for it. I asked my son (the driver and the one who was in the accident) to list everything good and here is what I got:

  • Brake Pads & Rotors (JUST replaced about 6 weeks ago)
  • Engine
  • Motor
  • Alternator
  • Tires
  • Rims
  • Seats
  • Radio
  • Steering Wheel
  • Headlights
  • Taillights
  • Driver's Side Door
  • Front Axle
  • Electronic Components
  • Mirrors

When I asked him for the list of not so good, it was much shorter:

  • Passenger Side Doors
  • Back Axel
  • Back Driver side Caliper

I know that the window does not go up all the way on the passenger door, but we have replaced the open-air-conditioning-style window with that of the Hefty-style which I have noticed is a very popular year-round window replacement amongst those who frequent Wal-Mart. I believe that is where I purchased my Hefty Window Replacements, so I'm not passing judgment, merely making an observation.

The manner in which the car was hit was such that this car would be awesome to either piece-meal out (if you're into that sort of thing) or if you have the capability to remove the motor and transmission, and maybe the alternator, I'm told that these fetch quite a nice price. Mind you, I haven't got a bloody clue what I'm talking about, I'm just repeating words I have written down, because to me they all mean, blah, blah, blah, price. Seriously, the guy asked me if I had a garage, and I thought that was the dumbest question because I have a two-car garage attached to my house! Yeah, come to find out, he wasn't talking about that kind of garage...I now give you permission to mock me amongst your friends tomorrow.

So, my mission is to get rid of this banged up and bruised piece of once-beloved car out of my driveway, the sooner the better. The price I'm asking is what was recommended I ask for it, but hey, everything is negotiable, even barterable (I don't think I just made that word up, did I?).

A tow truck WILL be required to transport this beauty, so do keep that in mind.  Unfortunately, I do not have the funds to donate to that cause, so that will be the buyer's responsibility.  Maybe ya'll can git them folks from Lizard Lick to come hep ya. ;-)

Any questions, feel free to contact me.  I might not have the answer right away, but I'm pretty sure I can get it quick enough. Thanks for looking and putting up with me :-)

McLaren and Alonso will use Chevy engines at Indy 500

Tue, Dec 4 2018

Fernando Alonso will have a Chevrolet engine in his McLaren when the double Formula One champion attempts to win next year's Indianapolis 500 in his second attempt, the British team announced on Tuesday. The 37-year-old Spaniard led 27 laps last year on his debut at The Brickyard in a Honda-powered Andretti Autosport car before retiring with an engine problem with 21 laps to go. The 2018 Indy 500 winner, Australian Will Power, won with Chevrolet-powered Team Penske last May. "Having Chevrolet power behind me means we're putting ourselves in the best possible position to compete at the front," said Alonso in a McLaren statement. The double Monaco Grand Prix winner, who won the Le Mans 24 Hours with Toyota this year, left Formula One at the end of the season last month and is targeting Indianapolis as the final part of the "Triple Crown of Motorsport": winning the Formula One championship (or Monaco), Le Mans and the Indy 500. The late Briton Graham Hill, also a two-times Formula One champion who died in 1975, is the only one to have done it, completing the triple in 1972.Reporting by Alan BaldwinRelated Video: Motorsports Chevrolet McLaren Racing Vehicles IndyCar

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
