     I bought this 2003 Chevrolet Venture passenger van at an auction thinking I was getting a great buy and could sell it at a substantial profit then found out that it has low compression on no. 5 cylinder, so I'm putting it on ebay, expecting to lose money and mark it up as experience. Van is registered and insured; doesn't drive too badly - you can feel the miss at lower speeds. I've run it a distance on the highway with no overheating or other problems. Automatic transmission seems to shift nicely. No signs of oil usage. Spark plugs looked good - I put new iridium plugs back in instead of old ones (still have old ones if you want to see them). Heat and air conditioning work.  Gas gauge does not. Odometer reading doesn't always light up, sometimes yes, sometimes no. Service engine light is on because of engine miss (I had a mechanic scan it and do the compression test). ABS light is on - mechanic said the sensor at the left front wheel needs to be replaced. 


Van looks good inside and out. Not perfect - examine pictures and you'll see that, but in my opinion, pretty nice for an '03. Note dent on right rear corner (see pic). Also see pic of windshield - cracked in lower half. Tires have fair tread. I haven't measured the depth, but I'm pretty sure it's deep enough to pass state inspection. You have to add a little air to the right front once every week or so. Has no spare tire. Has current VA sticker which expires end of August.

I think the previous owners may have had a dog, and he left some odor in the car. Not urine or anything, just dog. I've had the van closed up most of the time, so it hasn't gotten much air.

Please read description carefully, inspect pictures, and ask any questions you may have before bidding. 

This van is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
