UCOTD: Chevrolet SSR Necklace And Earring
It's Friday and we're having a little fun -- today's UCOTD isn't a car at all, but a Chevrolet SSR and earring. Yes, just one earring.
An SSR owner made this yellow gold set 20 years ago along with a white gold set. The white gold set got sold, but the yellow gold set is still available. One earring is missing, however.
We poke lighthearted fun a bit, but we also know SSR owners are passionate. So perhaps this will make a good Christmas gift for someone out there.
You can find more here. The set is listed for $1,950.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Bwt168839131 GM wants so much for owners to provide their data plus subscribe to services they are willing to lose buyers. People spend more time on their phones than driving. They have curated apps, playlists, contacts, group messages, places of interest, offline maps, and call histories that follow them into the car. For GM to say “sorry, you’ll have to do our insufficient workarounds” just shows contempt for buyers. The Honda Prologue with CarPlay outsells the made in the same factory Chevy Blazer EV. Buyers have spoken. Right now I’m looking at the new Chevy Bolt vs new Nissan Leaf. I’d prefer the Chevy but with no CarPlay I’ll by the Leaf.

- CanadaCraig It would be no more remembered than the Bricklin if it were not for BTTF. That said... I sat in one once, a brand new one at a dealership. I quickly discovered that it was the ideal car for Billy Barty. So that was that.
- SCE to AUX Q: "...does the DeLorean still get famous if not for the Back To The Future franchise?"A: No, but the BTTF franchise is nothing without it. They go together like peanut butter and jelly.
- SCE to AUX This is totally on Ford - poor marketing, poor engineering, and poor resource allocation.It would be convenient to blame government policy and infrastructure, yet all automakers are operating in the same environment. Ford is just colossally bad at it.For example, if you're going to make an electric truck, consider not doing that. But if you must, don't name it after your best-selling vehicle, and then bait-and-switch the price and performance.
