My friend recorded this a while ago, I've just been too lazy to convert it to DivX and upload it. But here it is now. http://media.putfile.com/Achieva-driving-around I had to use some trial version of a converting utility so that's why there's that filmstrip icon and the video got a bit skewed after the conversion but the quality is still there. *EDIT* Larger filesize but will be viewable without having to download Divx codec http://media.putfile.com/DeckasAchieva

Video Walkarounds of the cars I thought I'd share. Still have to do one for the Prizm.

Today was a nice day so I decided I'd wash, clay bar, and wax the GTO with a new ICE product from Turtle Wax. The clay bar works wonders (I've used it before on our old LSS and it did wonders to it's paint), and the Ice worked really well. It's basically a wax, but it's clear and you just apply it, let it sit for 5 minutes, wipe the area and then buff the area, and it looks great. It's much easier than your traditional paste wax and looks just as good; we'll see how it holds up (it claims it lasts for 3-4 months). The sun was making it so damn shiny I had to wear sunglasses because my eyes weren't liking the bright light too much. Oh, if you can guess the license plates …

Ive been so lazy that up until now, i havent made a thread about my 1st car... for a few months, i was looking for LT1 Camaros, for cheap, fast, reliable power.... i was also looking at 5.0 Mustangs, and Monte SS's... i heard a kid i know from the fire dept talking about his uncles 71 Nova for sale, and i thought i definatley couldnt afford it... he told me it was a project car, and was $3000... so me, being intrigued, go to check out this car... and i get excited.. so after thoroughly inspecting the car, bringing back a friend, deciding i could handle the restoration needed, talking to the owner (who was selling the car to make room in his garage for the new 07 Shelby…

Remember that '62 Buick Special I mentioned? Yup, she's now my daily driver. The Mercedes sold last Thursday, Saturday morning I picked this little Buick sedan. It has the 198 cu. in. iron-block V6. This GM "intermediate" is almost as much fun as my '68 Camaro was. The true-dual exhausts, oversized carburator & recent rebuild make it quicker than I expected, this thing is quite the little rat-rod. It only cost me half of what I sold the Mercedes for. Not bad at all for a rock-solid, rust free 46 year old GM classic. So now all THREE of our cars are GM again as well as all tri-shields. - 1959 Buick LeSabre 2dr sedan - 1962 Buick Special 4dr sedan…

We closed on our home using GMAC so we thought we would continue to support GM by buying a new GM car. Really Roach II was costing us over $500 a month in gas so when we did the math it was cheaper to buy a new Cobalt on a monthly basis and in the long run. When everything is added up, inlcuding the payment, we now spend $50 less per month to run the Cobalt than to run Roach II. There wasn't a 5 speed LS coupe in Blue Granite Metallic so we got a base with cruise and a spoiler. So far we are getting over 40 mpg consistently. At this point we already have over 1700 miles. My wife is now considering the sale of Roach II as she has fallen in love with…

I took home a near perfect condition 1989 Suburban last night. The vehicle is almost identical to the brochure for 1989. We wanted something that we could go 4-wheeling in and use to tow, which originally was going to be a Bravada. My wife found this Suburban which was owned by an elderly couple since new. It has only 82,000 miles and included tons of records. Supposedly they only used the 4-wheel drive 3 times when it snowed here in the PDX area. The truck includes; 1. Silverado package 2. Power Windows / Locks / Tilt / Cruise 3. Rear and Front A/C 4. Roof rack 5. AM/FM CD player 6. 3rd seat 7. Front bucket seats 8. 350 cu in engine with a 4 speed aut…

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. The wife and I went in to check it out and I took it for its first spin (with me, that is). What a great car! Here are it's first three pictures. 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…

Here she is, my car. Too bad I cant drive it because I am in college. Money doesnt grow on trees, as the old saying goes. Anyway here it is, my 6 speed 96 Z. I sure like the car. She is fun to play around with. Completely stock. Officially, my record is 1-2. :( I raced a camaro and beat him once, then he beat me. It was a modified 96 with exhaust and some other goodies. I think he let me win though the first time. Then i raced an 05 mustang GT and got basically whooped on. At any rate, I beat a lot of rice cars, but I dont count that in my official record!

Thought, I would start a thread on my husband and my 1957, Series 62 Cadillac. His deceased dad gave it to us, it was originally one of the cars from his uncles collection. We, been working on it in his buddy's garage. We just began the process of kicking around the idea of selling the car. We really need to make room at our place, if we decide to keep it. I know some might say, keep the Caddy for sentimental reasons, but really, his dad was all for selling the car. He just would not be pleased, if we accepted a low ball offer. So far, got a lot of "interest" and turned down a lot of offers. Now, I want to make clear, I am not using this forum to try and sell the …

To get a third brake light for the tahoe (don't ask). Was pleasantly surprised to find tons of good stuff for both the Tahoe and the Mothertruck. I'll be going back when it isn't so hot.

My brother is a moron who can't spend money properly. So he bought a $h!ty VW Cabriolet from 1990 with busted mechanicals for a grand. He didn't even change the oil that sat in the car for nearly a decade and the water pump didn't function. So naturally, he nearly died while driving it. Because he's an idiot. I decided to find him something that would run properly, and reliable. The fringe benefit is that his pathetic sack of organs won't end up in anyone else's body. I'm doing the public a favour. So I found this: Clean, inside and out, with about 150,000kms (~95,000 miles). It's a 1993 EX-L, so it's loaded and has a sunroof. Best of all, it …

A local junkyard has a wrecked 1988 Cadillac Brougham with a supposedly good 307 for $375. The engine in my LeSabre runs fantastically for what it is. It burns/leaks oil and has a rod knock, but it keeps going and going and going. Someday, its going to quit going, I've accepted that. But if I can grab essentially the same engine, tear it down, make sure everything is copacetic, and reassemble it, how difficult would it be to yank the old motor and drop the "new" one? I'm most worried about transmission (THM200-4R, shouldn't be a problem) and emissions devices. We dont have smog testing in this part of the state, so would bypassing all that crap be an option? This …

Can anyone tell me the best way I can go about figuring out where my 68 Impala was built? I'm assuming the VIN number? I'm not sure how to quickly determine that though.

So I've got the Buick with its rebuilt 307 running beautifully, happy to have it back on the road. Now there is a '93 Caprice wagon with an LT1 on Craigslist for $600. No title, being sold as a parts car. I may go ahead and call the guy, but I'm thinking the LT1 transplant is more work than I want to do at the time.

I picked up some stock brushed aluminum Pontiac wheels this summer with the intentions of putting some winter tires on them. I put it off all summer, but when we saw some snow last week I decided it was time to go home from school for the weekend and get this done. The wheels were really dirty and had a lot of the clear coat peeling off. First I cleaned them all with some water and steal wool. Then I sanded off the rest of the clear coat and put tape around the tires. The paint that I chose is called gunmetal, and is a silver/black with a little bit of sparkle to it. So after some primer and a few layers of the paint, thats where I am right now. I am going to wai…

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…
