Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4WD LTZ Crew Cab with a 6 foot 6 inch bed. A longer 8 foot bed is available. I’m critical about a lot of things including the cars that are being produced for our consumption. I like testing them and trying...

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo LT 4-Door sedan. This is a great commuter in part because of the very good fuel economy but also because for a 4-door sedan the ‘price is right’.  I was reminding Richard and Huan (from South Korea) that the car they were...

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2007 Chevrolet Impala SS Sedan which is the top of the lineup for Impala. And you know when you slide into the saddle, put the pedal to the metal you sense immediately these ponies want to run. Ever ridden a horse that sweats just...

Overview: This week we're looking at the 2006 Chevrolet HHR – GM's answer to Chrysler's PT Cruiser. It's similarly priced and Chevy lovers now have an option to the Chrysler to own a retro styled car / truck – or what is SUV styling in today's terms. I drove this HHR to...

Overview: This week we're looking at the new for 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche LT 4-WD dual purpose crew cab pick up truck with that SUV feel all in one. I say SUV because it has a substantial and secure locking cargo area, and not just an open pickup bed. In spite of the...

Overview: This week we're looking at the 2006 Corvette Z06. Paul says he feels the real story for this car is the engine that “IS” the Z06. In a world where race engines cost $50-100,000 this has to be the best performance “Production” sports car anywhere in the world. It is also...

Overview: This week we're looking at the 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS 2WD 5-passenger midsize SUV. The first midsize SUV was the S-10 Blazer in 1983 and in 1995 it was redesigned and simply named Blazer. The third-generation for 2002, adopted the name TrailBlazer. In Chevrolet's words: “…the 2006 TrailBlazer adds the SS...

Overview: This week I test-drove the Chevrolet Impala LTZ sedan. It is especially nice to have the roominess of a full size sedan after driving a small sports car like the Mazda Miata MX-5 last week. If I had wanted to play golf with a friend, my friend better have a big...

Overview: Ok, back to my past and a car I owned when the model was new. Mine was a 1967 Yellow with a Black top. Two door hardtop. It's nice to see that 2005 finds the Chevrolet Malibu still on the scene with the new LS Maxx. My neighbor friend Carol said...

Overview: This week I tested the 2005 Chevrolet SSR Super Sport Roadster. Now this is Retro! As I mentioned this is a series on pickup trucks and technically this is a pickup. If you are into hauling fur coats or other soft things it won't scratch the beautiful fine polished wood runners...
