Your font hurts my eyes and your little phrase hurts my brain. I spotted this thing at NAU, assume what you will.

Chevrolet Twin Turbo V8 Hot Rod

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Trevor Freeman

I ran across this Chevrolet hot rod at a church car show in Glendale. While I like the twin turbo V8 engine and the wide rear tires, there are a lot of details about the truck that leave me scratching my head. Take the sword sticking out of the driver’s side fender for example: what’s that all about?

From the back, we can see the huge aluminum wing which I think looks too new on such an old truck body. Why is it installed backwards? Is it an aesthetic thing, or does the owner really not realize that it’s backwards? The “Jesus Saves” taillights obviously reflect the owner’s personality, and while they are definitely an original idea, it’s not one that I am a fan of.

The utter simplicity of the twin turbo installation here is pretty cool. However, the flex pipe exhaust and various dice pieces accenting the engine bay make this thing look more shoddy than “DIY cool.” Don’t get me wrong, I really want to like this truck! However, the owner has gone overboard with personal touches that I feel don’t really blend together.

Still, I bet it goes like hell when he puts the pedal down!

Whether you love it, hate it, or are indifferent about hybrid cars, there’s no question that the Chevrolet Volt has generated a ton of attention from the media. I was fortunate enough to get behind the wheel of a Volt at the 2011 Arizona International Auto Show.

2012 Chevrolet Malibu Review

Posted on July 31, 2012 by Trevor Freeman

For over 40 years, the Malibu has been a mainstay of the mid-size car market and one of the most popular cars in Chevrolet’s lineup. It offers more cargo space and power than a compact car while being less expensive to own and operate than a full size car.

However, times have changed since the Malibu was first introduced in 1964. Today, the mid-size car segment is one of the most competitive in the auto industry. The Malibu is up against the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Maxima, Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion, Dodge Avenger, Kia Optima, Mazda 6, and dozens of others. What sets the Malibu apart from the rest, and where does it fall short?
