    New 78 Pace car

    Wow! not far from my place. The 78 pace car from the Lambrecht sale brought $80,000 with 4 miles on the clock, and that cars interior was not in great shape despite being inbdoors its whole life.

    FS: Set of 18" XLR wheels

    Bought these for my C5, they are from a 2008 Caddy XLR, the Corvettes luxo cousin! They are polished not chrome. I bought a set of blank center caps off ebay (no caddy symbol) they were 15.99 each but lost them when we moved, put them on a Vette they look pretty good (especialy on a C4) wheels...

    Time for a new pickup, looking for some feedback!

    Well It's done. I bought a 2014 Sierra All Terrain crew/short in black. I drove all the trucks on the market and found the new GM's to be the best all arounders. The driving dynamics are just superb, very quiet and refined. In my testing I found the dodge to be a close second, It's also a great...

    Time for a new pickup, looking for some feedback!

    Uneducated Ford salesman....Told me the only way to get a 6.2 was in a Raptor or 3/4 ton up.

    Time for a new pickup, looking for some feedback!

    My trucks going to work buckhorn! Just like all the trucks I've had in the past, some Farm labour and quite a bit of towing. Drove a 2014 Sierra all terrain SLT Z-71 on the weekend, unfortunately, there was a buyer waiting for it when I got back from the test drive, otherwise I might have...

    Time for a new pickup, looking for some feedback!

    Well, my Cousin was a die hard Toyota fan, had 5 new Yota's from 91 till the Tundra which was replaced by a Sierra. I don't want to start an tundra bash but yes, he had plenty of troubles with his. That, and the thing guzzled gas like a big block V8. Other than the issues my Ford has suffered...

    Time for a new pickup, looking for some feedback!

    Drove a Tundra my cousin owned, nice truck, lots of grunt, only negative I could find was the rather odd looking dash. The current desingn is getting a bit old and the redesigned truck looks much the same as the old truck with some Ridgeline infuence in the headlamps. Interior is vastly improved...

    Time for a new pickup, looking for some feedback!

    It's time for a new truck! Man, have this segment ever become competitive. I run a 2008 F150 right now that just had a heart transplant at 150,000km. That said the time is right to sell it! Anybody here own or drive a 2014 GM truck yet? Looking for some real world feedback on how they are. I...

    Motor Trend C7 Review

    I've seen several reviews so far, glad to hear that this thing has raised the bar not only for Corvettes but the entire sports car world. I had a chance to view a C7 in person Monday in seattle, all I can say is wow, it's a car you could spend hours just looking at.....just beautiful! In my...

    Hi From Rocky Mountian House

    We have our summer place out in Rocky just off the 22, unfortunately the gravel road getting there is not so "Vette friendly" :( There are a ton of nice cars that run through town in the summer. A few years ago the Alberta Exotic car club met near the Burger Baron (on the acess road) There were...

    Twin Turbo Caddy V6

    I just hope they keep that engine far far away from the pickups. We've a feet of four ecoboost Ford F150's at the shop and they average around 15mpg and two sick days per month at least. I hope GM R&D' this one to death before bringing it to market.
