Orlando, Florida, United States

I would jump in this beast today and drive it anywhere, it's never left me stranded!! Actually, I think it has once or twice, but it's a hell of a truck none the less. Quite a bit of motor work was done a few years back, maybe 8 years ago or better, but only about 20k miles since then. Did a 350 sbc with a mild cam with series 7 ignition system. The guys over at State Auto Body; disassembled, cut, welded, sanded, painted, reassembled, added all new rubber seals, a back glass, cowl induction hood, washed and polished, and probably shaved a few years off their life in the process, for $5500 of my hard earned money! I drove it with a smile on my face...... for about a week, before I parked it. Before I know it, I let the truck sit for over a year, and it wasn't the dream I remembered. Well two brand new fuel tanks, two sending units, a transfer valve, and a shiny new fuel selector button in the cab fixed that!! After many enjoyable miles, I started noticing a chatter in the rear end. I decided to tow it up to Advanced Driveline and have it looked at. Sure enough, the rear end was starting to go. I could just give it a quick little fix to get me back on the road, or I could maybe beef it up a little bit. Like any other self respecting man, I chose the latter, and decided not to waste the tow bill! Nine days later, with a smile on my face, and no lunch money in my pocket, I was the proud owner of 4.56 gears; front and rear, lockers, custom front and rear driveshafts, and a shiny new mediocre looking set of Warn manual hubs. All was great, but now I found myself in the inevitable spot of any redneck; "but honey, I HAVE to have a new transmission, don't you understand, I JUST got gears!!!!" She wasn't happy, but the guys over at Transmax sure were!! I swapped out the old turbo 350 with a 700R4 with the bowser total cure package, and all the other goodies. I was happy to be on the road, and the engine was happy with the overdrive addition! Cruises nice now, about 2k at 60mph. Stopped by Ground Level Customs and had a full custom stereo put in it, with a nice clean sounding set of 10's behind the seat. Then I Drove her over to Extreme Auto Upholstery and had a new seat, dashboard, door panels, carpet, visors, steering wheel, and a headliner put in. Recently added a gear reduction starter, new shocks, a power steering pump, and a brand new non shiny set of Fuel Hostage 20's on 35" tires. The truck could use a few little things here and there to REALLY set it apart. Nothing makes the truck non drivable by any stretch of the imagination, but this is everything that I think could use attention. It still has the original V belt set up, and it's just something I've never gotten around to doing. It doesn't necessarily not work, I just think it's very sub par for the rest of the truck. Also, as an added bonus it likes to holler at you now and then on start up, no matter what you do for the belt adjustment. I also think an electric fan would be a great addition, along with a good clean up of the engine bay in general. There is a crack in the front grille, a crease in the front bumper. There are a handful of paint flaws around the truck. Majority of them not noticeable though unless pointed out. The transfer case started leaking here about a month ago, and to be honest I haven't even climbed under it to see exactly what's going on. The truck doesn't have any seat belts. I couldn't see putting them back in the nice new interior, and never got around to order new ones. It has hooker headers, but they're starting to show their age. I think a good ceramic coat job would really pop. The exhaust is a very nice sounding flowmaster setup. There are no exhaust leaks or anything to speak of, but that would be something I would change, could I keep it. They're just showing age. I could tell stories all day about this beauty, but then I might change my mind about selling it. You wouldn't be happy, and neither would the old lady. I had to post it for sale so I could start getting dinner again!!! You really have to see the truck in person. I've posted this thing on and off over the years, and just about the time I find a buyer I can't bring myself to sell it. I recently bought a new jeep that has sadly taken the car rotation spot from Old Red though. It's painful to see her sit. If you enjoy this truck half as much as I have, it will be worth every penny! Hell, the expensive shit is already done. I think the joy for me was the journey, come buy the destination!! Feel free to ask any questions, and if possible, come by and look at the truck before the auction ends. 407-443-8889

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
