Here's What I Think About the Chevy Impala in 1 Minute

Here's What I Think About the Chevy Impala in 1 Minute

Scotty Kilmer:

rev up your engines
the pillow mafia says, is it bad that I
prefer the Chevy Impala over Toyota
Avalon and Ford Taurus, well just means
what you mean by bad and how you drive
now you're never gonna get the mileage
out of a Chevy Impala that you will with
a Toyota Avalon, it will fall apart long
before the Toyota, and the Ford Taurus
they were up in the air cars, some years
were excellent, some were pieces of junk
so I mean the Toyotas are so much
better made, now if you have an Impala
and if you drive conservatively, and you
don't put a lot of miles on it, it might
last for years, but customers that I've
had with Impalas, once they had a hundred
thousand miles, generally they started to
fall apart if it was city driving and
they weren't happy, the transmissions
went out, or the engines blew head
gaskets, or the air conditioning
compressor blew up, they really weren't
happy with the cars in the long run, but
if you drive low mileage, no car should
fall apart if you don't put many miles
on it, so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos,
remember to ring that Bell!

Chevy Impala 1961 — Takin' Pride in Low Ridin'

Chevy Impala 1961 — Takin' Pride in Low Ridin'

Taste Drive:

Your thing won't be
good the first time
If you want to make a good one,
you have to try more than once
Especially if you are
such an idealist
"I want to make something
just for myself"
If you don't go to exhibitions,
you don't show it to anybody
you only keep it in your room,
then who's going to see it?
If only your friends
know about your craft
you will always stuck
in the same place
Hello,
I'm Andrey
This is my Chevrolet Impala
I call it 'Om' because it's
about the same age as my father
So I have a lot of
respect towards it
I heard from a friend about
the existence of this car
Then I came to a mall
to have a look
At the time I can just look at it,
because it was covered with a tarp
So I touched it and prayed
"If it meant to be,
I will get you in the end"
I knew the driver, so
I asked him to ask his boss
if the car was for sale
and I gave him my number
For two or three months,
there was no news
Until suddenly,
I got a phone call
"Who is this?"
"It's the Impala's owner"
I was shocked
He asked,
"Are you still interested?"
"Yes, very much so. But I want
to hear your price first"
He said, "Don't worry about it.
Let's meet up in the car"
I think this car is unique
I gave the interior
some weird pattern
I knew it didn't fit the paint
colour, but I don't care
I just get all
the colours collided
And for the Airsus control,
I used a PS joystick
Controllers are usually
just up and down
But I wanted it
to be different
At that time, in 2012,
custom paint was not that common
I've known my friend Rio
from our bike activity
We got on well
So we brainstormed about
the stripes, the concept
Almost everything
was done manually
using some masking tapes
front to back, top and bottom
There was a colour gradation,
colour outline
He created some
water splash effect
People would know that
all were done manually
A lot of people say that this kind
of car can't be used in Indonesia
You will probably get it out
on Saturdays and Sundays
Especially since it has a V8 engine,
which can get really hot
So I have to think how to drive this
big engine in Indonesia's traffic
Not even around Indonesia,
just around Tangerang
For a 1-2 hour stop,
it's perfect
I wanted to put some
Indonesian ornaments up
But I didn't have the time
I did it with my bike
Get the body painted
with some batik pattern
So I still want to give
some Indonesian touch
on the shifter or something
So when people see it, they will
know that the owner is Indonesian
or someone with an interest
for anything Indonesia
This car has been featured
in the music video for
Via Vallen's Asian Games song
I myself can't believe that there
were still people who would
appreciate this old
and bothersome car
Indonesia lacks
only one thing
The willingness to start
People just don't get started,
don't have the courage
They don't have the courage to
create something that is more out
If people say that
you're wild, so be it
People can have a good
or bad appreciation
You can't make everybody happy
Just get started
Don't be afraid of judgement
Your thing won't be
good the first time
You have to be brave to get out
Brave to show your craft,
to be judged by people
If they think your craft
is bad, fine
You think it's good enough,
that's all that matter
Just let people say anything
And you just continue to create,
to do different
To be your authentic self
To hell with what others say

2017 Chevrolet Impala Review | Featues Rundown | Edmunds

2017 Chevrolet Impala Review | Featues Rundown | Edmunds

Edmunds:

BRYN MACKINNON: I'm Bryn
MacKinnon from Edmunds.
And this is an Edmund's expert
rundown of the 2017 Chevrolet
Impala.
Back for 2017
essentially unchanged,
the Chevy Impala is still a
big, comfortable sedan that's
certainly worth a closer look.
As you'd hope for from a big
stately sedan, like the Impala,
the ride is good and definitely
suited for long highway trips.
It isn't a sporty
as some rivals,
but that's not a deal breaker.
The optional V6
engine is the one
we'd go with since
the standard four
cylinder isn't very powerful.
And the difference in fuel
economy between the two engines
is relatively small.
One of the most appealing
aspects of the Impala
is its large interior.
You can easily seat four adults
in there with room to spare.
It also has a big
trunk, lots of storage
for small items
like cell phones,
and good available tech
like Chevy's MyLink system
with Apple CarPlay
and Android Auto.
The bottom line is the
2017 Chevrolet Impala
is an impressive mid-size
sedan with a lot to like.
There are several strong
options in this category.
But we recommend keeping
the Chevy on your list
if you're shopping for something
with a lot of space and comfort
to go along with it.
We also recommend taking a look
at the Chrysler 300, the Toyota
Avalon, and the Ford Fusion.

2015 Chevrolet Impala | CarGurus Test Drive Review

2015 Chevrolet Impala | CarGurus Test Drive Review

CarGurus:

Hi! I'm Chris Wardlaw for CarGurus, and this
is a 2015 Chevrolet Impala, a full-size, 4-door
family sedan. Now generally speaking, I like
this car, but having driven it for a week
now, I can't figure out why full-size sedans
continue to exist. We'll get to more on that
in a minute. For now, let's talk about what
we're driving today. Now my test car is equipped
with 2LT trim and just about every option
you can throw on this vehicle. The total window
sticker comes to just over $37,000, and this
particular paint color, just in case you like
it, is called Crystal Red Tintcoat - it is
an extra-cost option. Now, this is a sleek-looking
full-size sedan, and it's got a lot of heritage
design queues for Chevrolet, such as this
scalloped hood design; it's got this rising
character line over the rear fender; of course,
the classic Impala badge; it's got this kinked
D-pillar here, and my test car's got optional
19-inch wheels and tires, which really give
this particular Impala presence. Now, you're
probably wondering what's under the hood.
A 4-cylinder engine is standard in all Impalas,
but if you get the 2LT or the 2LTZ trim level,
you get a 3.6-liter V6 making 305 horsepower.
In case you're wondering, that's more horsepower
than the last-generation Impala SS ever made.
Now when you get inside of a Chevy Impala,
what you're going to be doing is you're going
to be facing a very busy dashboard. It's got
this stylish dual-cowl appearance, but even
in jet black, it looks busy. If you get any
other interior color, you get a 2-tone effect
that just exacerbates the amount of chrome
detailing and this shiny trim and this fake
wood. It's supposed to come off as looking
upscale, instead it comes off as kinda cheesy.
Now the control layout is actually fairly
simple, because a lot of your functions are
grouped together here in this 8-inch Chevrolet
MyLink touchscreen or the driver information
center that's between the gauges. Everything's
really easy to find as long as you're not
driving - I mean you're not supposed to play
with the touchscreen much when you're driving
- the problem is that the trim that goes around
these components and the buttons themselves
- if you listen, you'll hear them creak under
pressure, and it just sounds cheap. And because
these are the controls that people use all
the time, the driver's constantly reminded
that somebody in some meeting somewhere at
General Motors decided, "Yeah, let's cut a
few cents off those controls." They really
need to upgrade that, because otherwise there's
nothing to complain about in terms of the
quality of the interior. The front seats of
the 2LT are exceptionally comfortable. My
test car's got these optional microfiber suede
inserts with leatherette. The back seat is
absolutely massive, but one thing you should
know is that while this is a 5-passenger vehicle,
we decided to do a little road trip with my
Dad on Father's Day, and my wife got in between
the two car seats that were in the back seat,
and she was terribly uncomfortable. When we
use our own crossover SUV, she has no problem
fitting between the two car seats, so I would
say that that's one more reason why I'm questioning
the viability of the full-size sedan in general.
Okay, now that I've gotten all those complaints
out of the way, let's go for a drive.
So we're driving along a suburban boulevard
here in southern California, and it's very
smooth pavement, it's very nicely done. There's
not a ripple anywhere in it. Yet road noise
is a little bit high in this car and to be
honest, it is probably the one thing that
I can critique the most about how the Impala
drives. This V6 engine is strong enough for
almost any application. You've got plenty
of power to merge onto a fast-flowing freeway,
you've got plenty of power for passing, climbing
mountain grades. The 6-speed automatic transmission
behaves itself in almost all circumstances.
There was one time up in the mountains on
a twisty road when I was going downhill that
it started holding revs in an odd way, but
otherwise, it operated entirely unobtrusively.
The one thing I don't like about it is there's
a manual-shift mode, but it's a little rocker
switch on top of the gear-shift lever, which
is really almost no fun to use and just kinda
makes the interior look a little bit less
cohesive. But the brakes are outstanding.
I tested this car on a hot day in the mountains,
repeatedly abused the brakes, and they withstood
every application no matter how deeply I got
into the pedal. The suspension tuning is outstanding.
If you're looking for a car with a nice smooth
ride that absorbs everything, this is the
car for you. Overall, I really enjoyed my
seat time in the Impala. One thing I did want
to mention is that this car comes with 4G
LTE WiFi connectivity, and I actually took
a business meeting while I was sitting here
in the driver's seat. Conference call via
Bluetooth, I had my laptop plugged into the
3-prong outlet right behind the console here
and sat for 45 minutes in a parking lot, taking
part in a conference call. It was fantastic
- the only thing is is that when you're taking
a call through Bluetooth, the climate control
system automatically dials itself down to
a lower fan speed, and it got really hot and
sweaty in here in a fairly short period of
time. I really wanted some ventilated front
seats, which you cannot get in the 2LT because
of the sueded microfiber inserts.
Now it's true that full-size sedans don't
sell in very big numbers, and now that I've
spent a week driving the Impala, it's easy
for me to understand why that is. It's not
because full-size sedans are bad, it's not
because the Chevy Impala is an inherently
bad vehicle. It's because full-size sedans
use more gas than midsize sedans while offering
only incremental increases in terms of cargo
and passenger space. Now if you're committed
to getting a full-size sedan, I definitely
recommend putting the stylish Chevy Impala
on your list of considerations. For my full
review on this vehicle, be sure to visit CarGurus.com,
and thanks for watching.

1963 Chevrolet Impala by Johnny Gonzales - LOWRIDER Roll Models Ep. 37

Lowrider Roll Models:

(beat plays)
- For me, low riding is
an artistic representation of resistance.
You get to show this is who I am.
This is what I stand for.
And I'm kind of claiming that space
while I'm rolling in my vehicle.
(slow beat)
(slow beat)
I've always been part of low
riding, since I can remember.
My mom used to tell me
about how my grandpa,
when he came over from
Mexico, he would dress up like
Pachuco, and he would
drive in his old Chevies,
just so that folks would
consider him Chicano, right?
Like a Mexican-American,
and they went (mumbles).
You know, a lot of my uncles, my tรญos,
they always would low ride.
It was part of who they were growing up.
And hearing the conversations, right?
Of the cars my dad would paint in the 70s,
or the cars that my uncle Bill,
and being able to drive and
listen to oldies was priceless.
So for me, it was just
kinda like second nature
to get into it.
(funky music)
My car is a 1963 Chevy Impala
Super Sport convertible.
It's got a Laurel green paint job,
which is a classic, original
color for that year.
However, this one has a little
bit more fire mist in it.
So, when the sun hits it, it
really brightens up the car.
It's got a dark green canvas
top, it's a custom top.
Along with a light green tint
glass window in the back.
I've had the honor of working
with Matalo Pinstriping.
Jonathan Matalo came down and
he did two color pinstriping.
He also did some gold leaf on it.
The car has Center Gold Daytons, 72 spoke,
original straight from the factories.
They're triple stamped Daytons.
Underneath the hood, we have 350 engine
with a 350 transmission.
With some (mumbles)
specialty valve covers,
along with the serpentine head.
So the interior is a light green vinyl,
with the original pattern,
with the Dakota Digital dash,
along with the name of
the car, Paradise Gold.
That was pinstriped on the car too.
(slow beat)
It's got power windows all
throughout the vehicle,
power quarters and power vents.
I have a custom air set up by Hoffle's.
When we got the airbags
done, we were able to
have the car lay belly,
which means that the frame
touches the ground when I lay it out.
So when I park the car, I always slam it
all the way to the floor, or I just lift
the front and drop the back.
(slow beat)
I also have a custom sound system,
with two Rockford
Fosgate, 12 inch speakers,
and then two Rockford Fosgate amps.
I needed to keep that 90s look.
I have a custom engraved plaque that says
Coachella Khalifa's Car Club,
which has a lot of meaning to me because
it's the city where I'm from.
We have about five members
in our club, with my
Uncle Reuben being the
founding member of the club.
He ran a license plate that says
"Coachella" since the early 1980s.
So he was repping Coachella
before anyone even knew
what the city was.
What better name than
Coachella to name our car club?
(somber piano)
I was born in San Diego in the early 80s.
My parents both went to San Diego State.
My mom majored in Liberal Studies,
and my father in Linguistics.
My parents fell in love and had me.
Six years later, they had my
two brothers, Alex and Diego.
My father ended up moving
into construction and then
eventually moved towards being
a professional photographer
for the last 30 plus years.
My mom has been an educator
for the last 28 years.
Then in 1986, we moved to Coachella,
and I've been there ever since.
In 1992, I kept bugging my parents.
I want an Impala.
When I was 12 years old,
I was able to purchase
a Low Rider Magazine in 1992,
for the Cinco de Mayo issue.
It was a Laurel green
Super Sport '63 Impala.
And I was like, "That's my car."
Couple months later,
my parents purchased a
'63 Super Sport hard top for me at 12.
By the time I was 16, I
really started to mess around
on the streets a lot.
Unfortunately, I was shot twice.
Once in the shoulder, once in the neck.
I just remember seeing my parents,
and seeing that they said you know,
"You can do better than this."
What was interesting was,
they couldn't find a way to punish me,
'cause I was just wild and out.
So they took away my
heart, they sold my car.
I really didn't understand
why they were doing that.
They understood that it
was a bigger vision for me.
My mom being an educator, was able
to put me in the right classes.
She was able to make sure
that I had the right grades.
And in the 90s, they were
really pushing college,
and I was able to apply to school,
and I still didn't wanna go.
They ended up dropping me off and said,
"I ain't gonna pick you up for a month."
I went to school at Cal State North Ridge,
still thinking about all
the things I went through,
really started to get
settled down at school.
My dad called me one day and he goes,
"I got a '60 Impala for you."
That was my first low rider I purchased
with my own money.
(slow beat)
Growing up, I never had a
teacher that looked like me.
The negative narratives
that were taught to me
were that I wasn't smart
enough, I wasn't good enough.
That I wasn't gonna go anywhere.
And these were the comments
I was receiving on the daily
from my teachers.
I don't think I deserved those comments,
and I don't think any student or any kid
deserves those comments.
When I went to college,
I was as a history major.
And I remember being a
history major and I was like,
"What am I doing with my life?"
And I was kind of lost, in a way.
It wasn't until I started
taking Chicano study courses
that it really constructed
a different perspective
of education for me.
Then I was able to really
start reflecting and
unpacking a lot of the
things that I experienced
in education growing up and I was like,
this is crazy. This is
not normal, for me to
experience these things as a young kid
in the educational system.
Right after I ended
college and I graduated,
I moved right into teaching.
My mom has really kind
of laid the ground work
for me to do the work that I do.
You gotta have a good work ethic,
you gotta work hard,
but then you gotta be
consistent with your work ethic.
And in that way, you're able
to build a sense of integrity.
I've been able to learn
that from seeing my mom
do that for the last 30 years.
(upbeat guitar)
I've been at Desert Mirage High School
for the last 14 years.
I teach high school.
I teach all grades in high
school, nine through 12.
I consider myself a
Chicano studies teacher,
or an Ethics study teacher.
I wanted to kind of come
back to the neighborhood
of where I'm from.
I wanted to teach in the area,
and I wanted to tell a
different story for my students.
I don't look like a traditional teacher.
Bald-headed, I'm Chicano, I'm brown,
and I wear Nikes and Levi's.
I'm trying to be authentic to who I am.
As a teacher, I think it's
empowering for students to see
a teacher being real with them,
because they're being
real with themselves.
Many of them come from
farm working communities.
A lot of them are first
generation US citizens,
some of them are undocumented.
They're really trying to
navigate what it means
for them to reach the American dream.
So it's important that
you kind of, as a teacher,
we start to really think
about what our place is,
and in which ways can we
inspire students to really
push and strive towards
their dreams for themselves.
About five years ago, we started
this process with a couple
teaching buddies and myself.
We started pushing for Ethnic studies as
a graduation requirement,
and through my research,
I was able to find a program called
the Puente Project.
It's a four year college
preparation program for students.
We were able to develop
our own twists by embedding
Ethnic study courses in it.
We have a population of 98% Latino.
It's really important the curriculum
is reflective of the students.
And now, the Puente Program is
the largest educational
program in our school,
with 100% success rate of getting kids to
four year universities.
It was important to bring
that program, but was also
important is that it centered the student,
and the student's identity as the way of
getting them to college.
I think it's important to
understand that you have
the capacity within yourself to be great.
You may have been beaten down,
you may have been told that you're not.
Keep dreaming, keep pushing,
and at the end of the day,
be who you are and embrace yourself.
After 10 years of teaching,
really getting settled,
having the financial flexibility,
and I went after my dream vehicle.
So it's like this full
story of understanding
how low riding is
integrated into your life,
and how you're always
trying to find who you are.
And at the same time, kind
of claiming who you are.
So I think this vehicle
and embracing low riding
really puts you in that
position of understanding like,
look, you can still claim
the parts of who you are.
You can still be authentic.
You can still be real.
But you don't have to be
following that sense of
violence or negativity that
kind of ravages our community.
So for me, it means
re-transforming what it means
to low ride,
but also what it means
to come from the city.
My name is Johnny Gonzalez.
I'm an educator and I am
a low rider role model.
