So my wife and I headed to the local Buick dealer to see about getting a newer (2001) Century or (2003) Impala. While there the saleperson stated that he had a perfect condition 1996 Park Avenue traded in from an "older" customer. I said I didn't want it, but my wife insisted that we look at it. As it turns out, it not only drove like new, it has less wear and tear than my HHR. It didn't make sense not to buy it. Check out the pictures of the carpet. It almost looks new! You can see the picks at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsuupr/sets/72157600045197581/ The Park Avenue has the SE pkg, velour interior and base Dynaride suspension. It has 78,600 miles, and all r…

Well, here she is at her first show. Far from done, only a front seat for an interior, which was installed last Friday morning. We bought the car in March and have been working on it since it arrived here in April. New floor pans, spare tire well and a revamp of the fuel system as well as a complete gutting of the interior. We drove her the furthest ever this weekend at the Goodguys show in Des Moines. She shared the grounds with a stunning '53 Skylark, an Auburn, just about every 32 and 40 Ford in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri...and a whole bunch of other nice cars. The other project car that ended up parked just ahead of us late in the day was a relatively rough bu…

Well I was in desperate need of a new car or truck so after much test driving and nearly passing out from insurance quotes I decided on a 2007 black Aura XE. The car was a steal at $260/month with nothing down, then just when things where going good I was in an accident. I was on my way to work when the woman in front of me slams on her brakes for an ambulance sitting in crosswalk of the intersection with his lights and sirens on. I was looking for the ambulance and didn't see her stopped by the time I saw her it was to late. I was only going about 10 when I hit her but I did $6,000 in damage to my car, luckily I didn't get a ticket because we where stopping for an emer…

So finally, my girlfriend and I had a chance to take the LeSabre out for a spin and snap some shots for Fly. I drove it there, she drove it back. Gotta say fly, it's one sweet, floaty ride. :AH-HA_wink: It takes a couple tries to first get it started from a cold start, and it did stall once, but once it warmed up it ran fine...although I think it runs a bit rich. The transmission shifts very smooth and she ride and steers well...although I only went up to about 40. We went to the baseball field parking lot, followed by the next door car wash parking lot, followed by a quick rinse (and major wash for the Intrepid, to get the 4,300 miles of dirt and splattered bugs off o…

::WARNING!! NOT 56K FRIENDLY (SORRY BV):: This afternoon I took out the Buick once more to get some daytime photos...dust really...it was horribly hot and humid today...so it was the best time to not bake. As I mentioned before, the car's really temperamental on cold starts. I had it pulled into the driveway, so I started it and backed out...then it stalled on me while I was crooked and facing up on the hill...probably a funny sight for the couple cars that went by. Basically it took about 10 minutes of sitting there with my foot gently on the gas to warm her up. Once she was warmed up she was fine...probably needs a carburetor rebuild or at least a good tune. I also …

2001 Olds Alero 2.4 L AT Got it June 1st. Only issue right now is the cruise control not working. I have to replace a clip in the column this weekend. Ignore the date on the photos, my camera is really a piece of garbage. Second major car purchase of mine, first one that I did on my own. Very proud of this baby.

Well my wife is always complaining about not being able to drive a vehicle for more than a few months at a time. So I decided to do something about it. I purchased her this New 2007 Cadillac SRX Sport AWD. Usually I just grab vehicles off the lot and let her drive them, but if they sell, they sell. Thats why I decided to purchase this time. 2007 Cadillac SRX Sport AWD: • 320 HP 4.6L Northstar V8 VVT • 6 Speed Automatic Transmission • 20" Chrome Wheels • Xenon HID Headlights • Ultraview Sunroof • SRX Sport Appearance Package Pictures:

Hi all. Well last weekend my parents, or rather I, pciked up their new 2007 Aura XR. We had ordered it optioned as follows. Ocean Mist exteiorior, Ebondy Leather Interior with Sunroof. Other than that just the standard XR loadout which is considerable anyways. The MSRP was going to be 27k and Payments were going to be 333 a month with $1995 and first payment due at pickup. MY dad and I, as some of you know Dad has MS and doesn't drive anymore, got dropped off by my Mom o pick up her new car while she went to do errands. IT wasn't the car we ordered. It was close but there were some differences. It was the right colors and trim but instead of the s…

This past Tuesday I got home from dropping off Sofia at the school, I plopped on the couch and posted on C&G that I was going to Tulsa in my B-59 and later that day I would be getting radial tires installed on the B-59. Then about 45 minutes later, with absolutely ZERO foresight, premeditation or planning I brought home a 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate with 113K miles. Sure it needs work but I got her for $412.00 Natrually, being a 1994 it is powered by an LT1 and it looks liek I will be replacing the trans. very soon. Still, it's a pretty good deal if you ask me. I always wanted a last-gen, LT1 powered B-body... that's one more lifetime goal accompl…

With my personal life being such a mess and all I have not had a chance to update you guys on my latest car purchase, car sale & the last chapter in the Oldsmobile Super 88 saga... Here's how I spent my day Friday, May 18th. 7:00am: Super 88 picked up by shipping company. 1:00pm - 7:00pm: Helped Julie move out of her Ex's house... my Cadillac's huge trunk comes in handy. 5:00pm: XP calles me up and talks me into selling him my 1977 Coupe deVille. I end up telling him I have to turn a small profit or I'm keeping the car, two hours later he's got his plates on it and we're bombing up the road to get me my replacement car that I had lined up in Rockport,…

Guys, I have switched to "the other side". In my garage is a gorgeous 2007 Honda Civic Si sedan. Got it last night. My (trade-in) 2006 Mercury Mariner was fine, but I began craving something sportier, more athletic, and with more personality. Plus, I felt like the Mariner was a little too "feminine" somehow. After much online research and then a few test-drives, I was won-over by the Honda's styling, performance, reputation, resale, and little details like the finely-tuned & engineered controls. Example: the turn signal lever & a/c knob operation is VERY slick & satisfying. The interior ergonomics are perfect for me: I'm barely 5 ft 6 inches tall…

The horn sounds like a dying moose. Hence the name. So my wife and I were facing a choice of putting an engine in her Lumina (camshaft broke from cam bearing wear when it had an intake gasket failure, long before we bought it), or buying something else. The car lot absolved us of responsibility to pay off the note (we only owed $1800) and we took our cash and picked up a Suburban. Now we aren't stuffing four kids in a back seat which isn't even comfortable for three. Now we can put the noisy rowdy 5- and 7-year old kids in the third seat under the very loud rear AC unit, put the babies and the older quieter 12-year old kid in the middle seat, and my wife and I can si…

My two year love affair with Datsun... . . . . . . . ...is very much over. I'd like to introduce to you the newest member of Tight Whip$: The "Bannana Milkshake" 1977 Cadillac Coupe deVille 425 cubic inches of raw torque, 7 miles of white leater & that special Cadillac feel. This afternoon at 3:00pm I sold my Datsun and then travelled down with Sofia in the B-59 to visit my College Friends in the south-east part of the state. Sofia had a blast with Jim's daugher Chloe & I showed off my '59 Buick to the crazy nut who got me hooked on them to begin with, first time seeing him in two years. He is visiting from Arizona. So then at 10:30pm XP dr…

We just got back from getting this thing home in driving rain. It's a 2003 Monte Carlo LS that needs some engine work. There's water in the oil and it makes a loud tapping sound. No matter for my dad - he can rebuild or replace engines blindfolded with one arm tied behind his back, so this is a pretty cheap way for him to get a decent car to finally replace the Skylark. It's silver with a grey cloth interior, has the 5 spoke aluminum wheels, and the 3.4L V6. He was impressed with the ride/handling, and it's a W-body so it should be stone cold reliable for him. I'll post pics tomorrow morning.

It was a nice day out but at the same time rather warm (85 degrees!). I discovered today that the Intrepid's A/C wasn't very cold. So I bought a couple cans of R134a (one for the Intrepid and one for the Shadow, (because I know it needs it). Took some time but after an hour or two I had both cars blowing out ice cubes. Then I cleaned out the interiors, and finished off with a rinse to the exteriors. They'll need a more formal cleaning inside and out but a rinse couldn't hurt. This is especially true for the Shadow, as the poor thing wasn't washed once all winter...making it look even worse than it is. After I finished I snapped some late afternoon photos while the cars …

Well I just picked it up, and all I can say is OOOOOOO MY GOD!! Now I know what I have been missing all my life, a LS1!! I couldn't keep it on the streets for too long, because it doesn't have a plate or insurance, but this thing is awesome. The exhaust sounds better then I could have imagined. I didn't even use the radio, the sweet exhaust note kept me wanting more. Sooooo, without further delays, the pics...... http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/schuby87/

So as I mentioned we drove the LeSabre home in a blizzard the night I bought it. Yet somehow the bias-ply tires & RWD in combination with New England roads didn't manage to kill me. Weird. Yup... it's 11:00pm, April 4th and we've got a full blown Snow Storm starting. Next morning. Can't sleep, too exicted. I've had the car in my possession for almost 12 hours now. Time to take off those 1959 Dodge wheel skirts. Wheel Skirts are off, but I got some of my DNA on the rear quarter. Ouch! She's a firecracker, managed to cut me pretty good. Yes, I take pictures of everything. Later that day I was running important errands, like... ummm... I nee…

Well, Tuesday and Wednesday I worked on my car from the time I woke up and took a shower until I went to bed both days, easily putting in over 25 hours of work on the Cobalt between the two days. Tuesday I cleaned and painted the calipers, and put a "Cobalt" vinyl on the front calipers. Wednesday I finished all of my brakes, adding GM Performance drilled and slotted rotors on all four corners along with a set of "new" rims (18" ALT Sonix - black with polished inside lip) and tires (G-Force KDWs - 235/40ZR18). I proceded by removing the GM badges next to the front wheels, along with the Cobalt SS and Supercharged badges on the rear. Then I took the rest of my night (uhh, u…

This past Monday I bought a 2007 Silverado 1500 2WD Extended cab. Dark blue/light grey interrior. So far I love it. I am getting used to the way it drives since my '05 had the "Smooth Ride Suspension" on it and this one does not. It also sits higher and I feel like I sit higher in the seat as well. This is also my first vehicle with On Star. I'll post some pics once I take some.

Well, I finally had enough of that noisy Metro. It ran great but after working on a loud flightline all night I wanted a smooth, comfortable, relatively quiet drive. And I wanted something fun to drive. So, Tammy and I decided to look at a couple of different cars and by accident we found my new daily driver. Its a 2000 Fixed Roof Coupe and has the wonderfully fun 6-speed. We paid $19,400 and I was driving to work for about a week. Now the reason I hate that Chevy dealership. The sales manager was a jerk when negotiating. He was actually yelling by the time it was over. We were honest up from with what we could afford and he acted like he thought we had a lot more t…

Before: After: Props to the guys over at MRZ Performance. I was lucky enough to catch a group buy over at cobaltss.net, and got in on the action. They ended up being 20% off list, to $50.95 plus shipping. They're laser-cut stainless steel with the Cobalt logo done in the same font that's used for the trunk emblem.

Here are some pictures of my Impala taken in my back yard in September 2006. It's Superior blue with the semi-rare blue deluxe cloth interior(sorry, no interior pics at the moment). Other than the deluxe cloth (which has the fold down back seat), it has the 1SB option package, CD/cassette stereo and the aluminum wheels. I added the Impala badges on the fron fenders, and replaced the chrome one on the trunk with a body colored one. Other than that, if you've seen one Impala you've seen them all... just that this one happens to be mine.

These are actually from December when we had that warm spell and it was like 60 degrees. I washed the car that day and took it to the park to take some nice photos. You can also see some of the accessories that I got for Christmas. An exhaust tip (which I really like), 2 Dodge license plate covers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel cover (with Dodge logos), and some nice new floor mats to finish it off. I lost the USB cable to the camera, and then my comp died...then I found the cable yesterday and got my comp fixed today...so I figured...why not?

Since this did not work the first time, I will give it another shot. A little about the car, I bought it in April 2006 after the transmission finally went out on my handed down 94 explorer. It had 102,000 miles when I got it and I am the third owner, it currently has around 114,500 miles. Since today is my only day off this week, I decided it was due to be waxed and spent the morning cleaning it up. I tested out my new camera and the pics turned out pretty good. Hope you like them.

Yep, I finally got it. Here are the details: It had the Red Tag to mark down the sticker price to $18,726. I bought it under the 72 month time period for the 6.9% financing. I put $3000 down and have a $308 monthly payment. The car had 45 miles on it, then I took a test drive (this is the second time I've looked at this same car). When I picked her up today she had 50 miles on her. It's Rally Yellow with Ebony leather interior. I wanted the yellow interior also, but for the price I couldn't complain. Maybe one day I'll find some yellow suede and fill 'em in. It's got a sunroof and XM radio on it. I'm pretty sure that's all the options, but all I really wanted was a sun…

It's a 1992. In the near-term future, I will have to sell it. I figure that, with less than 20,000 miles to go to hit the BIG 250,000, I'll keep it that long. Ok, the guidebooks say about $ 1,400. ARE THERE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WOULD PAY $ 1,200 to $ 1,400 for a car (in excellent shape, mind you) that has a QUARTER OF A MILLION MILES?

Here's our 1973 Monte Carlo. My father inherited it from my grandfather when he passed away. It's been in the family since new. It's chocolate brown with a tan vinyl inside. And it's got a 454 with 84K original miles. The body and paint are still in great shape, but it needs a little work to be roadworthy. Most of that we did this weekend - fabricating new brake lines and changing out the carburetor. All it needs is a set of tires and valid NYS plates and she'll be on the road again. And in case you guys didn't realize that I'm an Italian from New York, check out the clear plastic seat covers:

After some pushing and shoving I finally got my wife to upgrade her Suburban to a newer one. We recently picked up a 1999 K2500. In regards to the fun parts, it has a 454 with a 3.73 rear end, skid plates, and the 2000 and up rims. The girls call it the fire truck because it's red, though it does have silver on the lower clading area. The badges say LT, but it has the LS equipment and you can tell someone switched them along the way. The equipment is a little odd, even for an LS. The mirror is electrocomatic with a compass, but it doesn't have the temp gauge as was standard. There is also no remote entry, though they could have been lost on the way. Do any o…

Took delivery last evening of a 2007 Saturn AURA XE in Midnight Blue with Tan Cloth. It has the Convenience Package, Preferred Package, Enhanced Convenience Package, and the upgraded 17" Chromed five-spoked Wheelcovers. Since they got this car on trade from Saturn of Marlow Heights in Maryland, there was a tan pinstripe and VIN Etching already on the car. My salesman knew I didn't want any of that, so I wasn't charged for it! I think I actually like the tan double-pinstripe, so I will keep it on for now. And to make things better, the lease price they quoted me Wednesday night turned out to be $16 less per month at delivery! So with the GM Supplier Discount, $750 Satur…

The car had 118,000 miles and a dent in the driver's door when we bought it in February. Since then, we've replaced the heater hoses, put on a set of tires, changed the gas cap, and had a nail in one of the new tires, plugged at no charge. The small star in the windshield has grown from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch, our oldest son drew on the back seat with a blue Crayola washable marker (it didn't wash out), and about nine crayons melted into the handles in the rear door panels. We pulled the panel under the steering column when one of the screws stripped and have left it alone since then because the check engine light keeps going on and it's a pain to reach with the panel th…

I posted FQ and CarDomain pages for it... http://fquick.com/garages/viewvehicle.php?id=2733 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2517184 CarDomain is laid out better, I haven't had time to figure out FQ's layout yet, but all the pictures are in both sites. The car had no problems making it 57 miles home. Everything works but the AC and the radio. Clock works, dome light works, so radio should work, I'll look into it later. The AC is known to be a locked up compressor, but I haven't checked to see if it's still R-12 or if it's been converted to R-134a. The biggest driveability problem with this car is that it doesn't like to start when cold. You have to hold the gas to t…

Chalk this one up to just being the right place at the right time--BIG time. Currently in my grandparent's stable, my grandmother has a '99 Intrigue GX 3.8 that they bought as a demo in '99 with 5k on it, and my grandfather has both a '94 Ford Aerostar extended XL that he bought as a demo in '95, and a '97 F-150 stripper truck. The Intrigue is for her general driving, as well as their runs to church as such, the truck for his daily outings, and the van is kept in the garage most all of the time, and only ever used for longer trips. The Aerostar is beyond immaculate, and in great colors even, and at 12+ years old, barely over 90k, but he really had been wanting somethin…

Hey all, I've been lurking around here for a year or so just reading all the good GM info and I decided to share some pics of my car. If any of you are on clubgp, you know who I am. Anyway, I picked up my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP in July of 2003 and it was stock. I began customizing it as soon as I could. Over the last 3 years I've done a lot and learned a lot when it comes to detailing skills, knowledge of the 3800 motor, and tuning with my DHP PowerTuner. Here are the pics: I got it with 43k miles on it, it currently has just over 84k miles now and still gets close to 30mpg on the highway (still tuning for even better milage). It is…

Ever get one of those opportunities you never thought you would? I was given one over the weekend. I'm a manager at a local auto parts store and a guy named Cadillac Bill comes in often to buy stuff from me and we usually talk $h! and laugh and stuff for a while. He's called Cadillac Bill because he's been buying and selling Cadillacs for a living for nearly thirty years. Periodically he tells me about his finds and things he thinks I might be interested in. Remember my white 1971 Coupe DeVille I bought at the beginning of the summer? Turns out I unknowingly bought that car out from under a friend of his who was very interested in it for a good deal less …

Just realized I never made a post about this, but a few weeks ago my younger brother bought his first car (and beat me by about 2.5 years at that!). He had wanted a Cutlass/Monte Carlo from the late 80's for a while, and was always looking. Never really found much except for a white '86 Cutlass with the 307 V8 at a local little used car place, and they looked at and drove it, but still weren't sure. Wasn't bad at all, but seemed to have a transmission issue and some other small issues. So they kept looking and he also was considering some late 80's and early 90's Caprices they found in his price range. One Sunday were on their way to head up state a distance to look …

I know in the thread about my '67 Eldorado I said it would be the last old car I got for a long time, but..... ..... there's been an old car sitting down at my father's shop for the past decade. It belongs to a friend of the other owner of the place. It's always sorta been in the way no matter where it was put, and lately it's really been a nuisance because it's been sitting in the end of a building that needs to have a floor poured in it to be used for storage. The possibility of junking the car has come up a few times, but it never happened because its owner wanted to hang onto it. My father's friend told me he was going to the owner's house last Saturday to ask him on…

This time I found an 89 Camaro RS Convertible. The guy was asking $1700 and we got it for $1450. It has the 305 TBI engine with an auto. It runs and drives great and only could use a minor tuneup and tranny servicing. The paint is faded but there are only 2 small dents on the car. The top needs to be replaced badly. The Camaro was next to a house that burned down and the top was burned in areas and some of the paint was overheated. More pics can be seen here. I have been wanting another 3rd gen convertible since I sold my 90 Rs to my brother a few years ago. Now I have another to play with.

200K miles

On Tuesday, Sept. 12th of 2006, on Highway 402 just past Airport Road in Sarnia, Ontario, my Mercury's odometer rolled past 200,000 miles. And I caught it with my camera phone: The KPH view: When I first looked at the pictures, I thought it was a little odd that 200,000 miles would work out to such a round number in kilometers. So, I looked into it further. According to this website, 200K miles equals 321,868.80 kilometers. So, somewhere over the course of its 13 year life, my car has "lost" more than 1,800 kilometers, or more than 1,100 miles!

I had to hang with an Impala for a day until I got switched into a Monte Carlo. This was a 3.5 and en route to the Palm Springs area, I spotted a Bob's Big Boy in Calimesa off I-10 (SCREEEECH). Actually, I stopped to eat (YUUUUUMMMMM) and take the photo on the way back. Chevrolet Monte Carlo 3.5 at Bob's Big Boy, Calimesa, CA Then, upon returning it, I spotted this Monte Carlo LT 3.9 at the Burbank airport. If I were to opt for the MC, this is virtually identical to how I would order it. This particular vantage point is attractive...a couple of angles on this car can be clumsy. YOU LIKE? I know KnightFan does. I know Pantho does not.

Now not only are the interior and exterior in showroom new-like condition, but the wheels, wheelwells, tires and rims have also received a thorough cleaning (and wax on the rims for the extra protection & shine). Enjoy! Oh, and don't forget to post your cleaned-up summer ride too.

Still working, little by little, and dollar by dollar, to update and upgrade my near perfect '95 Caddy Fleetwood as time goes by. It wasn't even really in "the budget" (but then again, what is?!), but I had been going back and fourth for a few months on new wheel & tire options. There was NOTHING wrong with the OEM wheels and Michelins it had, but the look could stand to ratchet up a bit. Thought aftermarket, thought chrome stocks, and just kept coming back to the OEM Impala SS wheels. A very popular upgrade choice for a lot of B & D bodies, since they're 1) GM OEM, 2) perfect offset and fitment, and 3) look great. So, doing my usual net surfing, found an ad …

Say hello to my 2007 Saturn SKY roadster!!!! It's C&G's first Saturn SKY and I'm now the 2nd Kappa-based car owner here. I guess I don't have to tell you how much I like this car!!! It came in Tuesday night before the dealership closed and I got the call from my salesman this afternoon after the service department completed the PDI.

I take delivery of it tomorrow night at 7:00 PM; more pictures will come over the next couple of days. The first time I saw it: After it's first drive with me as it's pilot: I got…

This is my (new-to-me) '04 Silverado LS 2500HD Crew Cab. DuraMax 402 / Allison 1000 powertrain. It's a late '04, so I have the 310-HP / 605-TRQ 6.6L. For 5883 lbs (without driver), it's F-ing fast. Picked it up off the original owner last month. Price was very good and tho it has some dings & scratches, I know from research & testimonials that it'll last for years & years, plus now I can fit the whole brood in the truck (it's supplimenting my '94 F-150 regular cab/long bed, which is still running strong at 146K). I'm still acclimating to it, but it's a very impressively overbuilt machine, and very comfortable. Ergonomics & features are great. So far I lov…

My 9-5 Aero

Well I finally got a chance to take some pictures of my new 9-5. It's a 2001 Aero model with accessory wheels and performance exhaust. It took me about 15 minutes in a big parking lot to get the hang of the standard shift, but after that it clicked and I no longer fear rolling backwards 200ft into a ditch on every hill. I think the Blue Aero paint and tan leather interior go together very nicely, and the wheels are much better than the hideous 3-spoke triangular things that come standard. Here are pics fresh off the memory card:
