This is my 1989 chevrolet 1500 SILVERADO PACKAGE FULL SIZE BLAZER! This Blazer is my BABY! I purchased it in 1994, and it is part of our family!!! I was offered 12K once, and tjen about a tear ago I was offered 10K for it by someone off the street that just saw it and came and offered my Daughter the 10K, and said that he didnt even care if it ran!! My Daughter knew better, and told him it wasnt for sale at ANY price!!! She knew as I did, that I would have it FOREVER!! And I had it put in her name many years ago, so that there was no mistaking the fact that if something happened to me, it would be HERS!!!! :) Unfortunately, I have had a knee injury, and it hurts me to try to get in and out of it! :(.I am being scheduled for surgery soon, but the doctors say that my knee will never be the same! :( I never imagined ever selling this vehicle, and now I am afraid that I dont have much choice! :( My kids are sad, and so am I!!! My kids being 30 years have came to know it as family, but I am STUCK! I have to have something that I can drive that doesn't hurt me! :{ I have owned this truck for 20 years!! It has been a great truck! It is ALL original, including the paint!! It was always garaged until about 7 years ago! It even has the original red stickers that go down each side! :) As to NON-ORIGINAL: I had a 6 inch lift put on it along with 35 inch all terrain mud tires, chrome wheels and nerf bars all at one time at Les Schwab! That cost $4,000.00, but I have LOVED it! I also had a new Sony stereo system out in it that is the latest Ipod, Aux, etc.. I love being able to hook up my phone and listen to my favorite music! Other then these items, EVERYTHING is original! That includes the spare tire! It is a smaller tire, so if you were to need a spare I don't know if it would work?? I am a 53 year old woman, so I don't know a lot, but I wouldn't use it, it just makes sense that you should use the same size tires! The interior is free of any holes, rips, etc... It could use a good detail cleaning to bring it back up to new condition though. Its not BAD or anything, just a little dirty in places, especially in the back where you carry things! I use seat covers to protect the front seats, but I took them off for the pictures so that you can clearly see how great of condition that they are in! :) I just had a new battery put in it about 8 months ago. Then I just recently had the serpentine belt replaced, new sparks plugs put in it, and a complete oil change and other fluids as well as I have ALWAYS done! I know that I am going to cry when this truck is gone! :( All that I can do is hope that I will be able to get a truck that I will feel safe in that isn't lifted to where it hurts me, and will be as dependable as this truck has always been! :( The motor WAS replaced about 20,000 miles ago! My Son was 18 years old at the time, and sneaked out with my keys late one night and took it on a joy ride, in which he took it out on the freeway doing over 100 miles an hour in SECOND gear and toasted the motor! You just got to love teenagers! :( But my Ex is a mechanic and $4,000.00 later the motor was replaced, or it would still have been fine otherwise. It ALWAYS FLEW through DEQ!! Just like a new car he would tell me! :) It does need some little things! The silverplated rectangles on the doors that cover the screws have one missing on each door. The rear view mirror came off and needs to be put back on. I have the mirror and even a glue kit but just haven't gotten around to having someone put it back on. The glue probably just let go after so many years, but the mirror is PERFECT and just needs to be put back on! As to the body, my Daughter accidently backed into it once, and the passenger side rear bumper is pushed in a little. :( There has never been any SERIOUS accidents with my truck, but one time my Son in law had his car in the shop and I allowed him to take my truck to work, and he didn't see another car when he went to switch lanes, and got into an accident. The car was hurt, but the only thing that shows on my truck is a small little dent in the nerf bar and a small ripple in the passenger side door! You have to look close to see them, but I am just letting you know that they are there!! I am honest to a fault! The hood needs to be painted as well!! This paint job has lasted a LONG time, so I am not surprised with that! Black attracks HEAT anyway! This truck is equipped with 4 wheel drive, but it has NEVER been off the road, and I have really only used the 4x4 a few times when I HAD to drive in bad weather. I avoid driving in bad weather unless absolutely necessary! This vehicle is ALL POWER! The windows, including the back window are power, power disc brakes, and came LOADED from the factory! The AC does need to be recharged, and the button for the drivers side window recently broke on me! :( Its not a big deal, and one of my Sons said that he could take the door panel off and fix it if needed! He pushes on it a certain way, and the window rolls right down! The top IS removable, but I have never had it off!! I was told that once removed they could start leaking, but I didn't want to fade out the upholstery either! I like it looking new! :) Oh! I almost forgot! I DID have an aftermarket alarm put in it with auto-start was well! That was another $1,500.00, but that included buying an extra alarm pad for in case I were to lose one! It was done by Stereo King, and they uphold their products 1000%! There have been a few times that I have taken it back to them and they will take care of it at NO CHARGE no matter what! This last time the valet button was just getting old, so they replaced it with a NEW one with no charge! I will tell you that this alarm system is the best investment that I have EVER made! If not for the alarm system I would not have this TRUCK!!! The flashing blue light really lights UP at night, and I know that most people will ignore the ones that are alarmed, but with this vehicle there has been MANY attempts to steal it! It could be that it is an eye catcher, but I think that it is because it is SOOOO RARE!! I have had sooo many people asking questions! Even people with K5s! There are still plenty of K5s out there, but these Silverado packages are just about extinct! Matter of fact, insurance companies don't even have that classification in their computers anymore!~ They insure it as a V10!! That's the way that it reads on my insurance card! I just want you to be aware of the fact that this vehicle NEEDS to be alarmed of garaged to protect it! Or you WILL lose it! Due to this reason, I wont allow people to know exactly where I am! If someone wants to see it I will be happy to meet you somewhere in the area! But I wont allow someone to come to the house, just to protect it! This vehicle is built like a TANK, and is the LAST year of the BIG rigs! It will last someone a VERY long time!! I am still depressed that I am having to let it go! I NEVER thought that this day would come! :( Getting old and injuring myself wasn't ever expected! :( I hope that it will be babied as I have always done by it, and loved even HALF as much as I love it! Gee, when you add up the lift and tires/wheels, the new motor, and the alarm system, I am actually giving away the rest of the truck! But I will consider offers as well. If I think of anything elase that I might have forgotten, I will be sure to come back in and add it! I looked and saw that one a lot like it, minus the alarm system, and minus the lift and toyos that was in Portland sold for $91,000.00, so I guess I am about in the right category! I doubt that there will be many that will have this few of miles on it! Thanks for looking, and you take care and have a great day! :)

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.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
