What if we could bring down the number of 40,000 annual highway deaths in the United States? What if we could cut that number by a third in the next five years and a half in the next ten years? Would it be worth the Herculean effort required? Can we afford the increased cost of our automobiles if we did? What would it cost? With the United States Automakers reporting losses of enormous amounts, unions striking and SEC investigations could the industry, which employs millions take another obligation of this magnitude?

What if we had better driver training and more responsibility of the drivers in their SUVs? What if the average American was in less of a hurry all the time, could be slow down the rate of deaths each month? On a given three day weekend we lose more lives to driving accidents which could have been prevented than the entire number of soldiers in the Iraq War. It is true. One weekend.

What if we built into our cars better systems to keep track of the cars around us? What if our cars were communicating with smart roads, which limited our speeds? What if cars had all wheel drive electric motors on each wheel, which added stability controls. What if our cars came with collision avoidance systems? What if all these technologies which currently exist now, where on every new car, without raising the price too much? Think on this.

Have you ever wanted to combine the benefits of commercial free satellite radio along with listening to your favorite MP3s, all while driving in your car? If so, Sirius Satellite Radio may offer the product that you’ve been looking for. While car receivers that allow you to listen to satellite radio and your favorite MP3 music have existed for some time now, a recent product released by Sirius Satellite Radio takes the satellite radio/MP3 combination to the next level.

The Sirius S50 is a satellite radio/MP3 player that you can listen to while you’re either riding in your car or sitting in the comfort of your home or office. The Sirius S50 comes with a car dock that connects the main unit to your vehicle. While the unit is connected to the car dock, you are able to listen to live Sirius Satellite Radio programming as well as any MP3s that you have stored on the 1GB flash memory unit. You can also pause and rewind the live satellite broadcasts as well as record up to 50 hours of your favorite Sirius Satellite Radio programming.

This unit also comes with a full color display which features channel logos and wallpaper so that you can easily identify the station that is currently playing. The neat My SIRIUS Channels feature automatically determines your three most listened to music channels and captures programming from each. Do you like to create playlists of your favorite MP3s? Well, you will find the Sirius S50 suitable to your needs as you can create playlists from your MP3s as well as from songs that you have recorded from your favorite Sirius broadcast channels.

Along with the main unit itself, you also get a USB cable, earbuds, and PC software that allows you to download MP3s to the Sirius S50 from your PC. The software also supports streaming Sirius music channels over the Internet which is free with your Sirius Satellite Radio subscription. Currently the software is only available for Microsoft-based PCs, therefore all of you Mac users will have to go to your friend’s house to download your music if you decide to purchase the Sirius S50.

The really neat thing about this unit is that it also doubles as an IPOD-like MP3 player, as you are able to listen to your MP3s and pre-recorded Sirius channel programs with the earbuds that come with the unit. You can clip the Sirius S50 to your hip and listen to your favorite tunes on your way to school or work. The unit supplies up to 6 hours of playback on the rechargeable battery. If you’re in the market for an in-car satellite radio unit, you should definitely give the Sirius S50 a good hard look before you make your final purchase. While it may be a little pricier than your average satellite radio unit (Suggested Retail: $329.95), it really puts those extra dollars spent to good use.

Most of the super camaro’s were offspring of the Central Office Production Order or “COPO” camaro’s, I know that the Yenko camaro was an offspring of the COPO 9737 Sports Car Coversion which was a 425 HP 427 CID iron engine, with a 140 MPH speed-o and Goodyear wide tread tires and 15×6 wheels, and Yenko added their exterior stripe kit and a set of gages to the interior, and created an icon, a camaro legend that would live forever as one of the toughest meanest camaro’s ever built, a standard COPO 9737 was a plain looking car with no stripes or special interior amenities, in 1969 Yenko had wnet one step farther with the interior and embroidered a big sYc symbol at the top of the seat in the head rest, and you could not by any means mistake one of these cars for any other camaro.

There were a bunch of dealers that joined in the super car revolution of the 1960’s, and a lot o the done very well at promoting their cars Don Yenko done a very good job at promoting his entry in to the super car revolution by hiring a driver who could get the job done, and show people the sYc camaro, in the process Dick Harrell would set many records in the sYc camaro, and prove it’s validaty beyond the shadow of a doubt.

If that weren’t enough a COPO 9560 simply called the “ZL1” camaro would hit the seen, the best purveyor of this car was Dick Harrell, Dick Harrell driving for Fred Gibb Chevrolet in the ZL1 camaro would set some of the most impressive times in the ¼ mile ever run in a factory camaro, this car came with an all aluminum 427 CID engine rated at 430 HP from the factory, the engine actually produced in the high end of the 500 HP range, and weighed only 30 pounds more then a small block Chevy, Harrell, with out a doubt did the best at promoting this car, he laid down a 10.36 to set his first record, and then later shattered that record with a 10.06, and this was a factory car that could be driven on the strett, although it was not meant to be driven on the street.

In the camaro realm of things their was yet another COPO package considered to be of super car proportions and that was the COOO 9561, which was a cast iron 425 HP 427 CID engine, yes of course that HP was underrated yet again, it put out the same amount of power as the COPO 9560 did, but weighed 300 pounds more, and was an impressive car also blasting the ¼ mile the mid 11 second range, making it a top contender for a title spot in the big race.

I’ve been in the automotive business for about 20 or 25 years, I have worked in all facets of the industry, from parts to restoration, all different makes and models, I just want to keep people interested in the old cars because it’s where my heart is.
