For some reason, I found the Buick Park Avenues of interest on Autocade today. Buick Park Avenue (C-body). 1991–6 (prod. unknown). F/F, 3791 cm³ (V6 OHV). Attractive, roomy Park Avenue (the Electra tag disappeared), allegedly inspired by Park Avenue Essence show car of 1989. Characterized by...
Are gas prices pissing you off yet? They are me! I'm ready to start mopeding around town! If I didn't live so dam far away from everything I'd be using public transportation. This is probably one of the things I miss most about europe. Transportation there was light years ahead of our time. What do...

A few new entries on Autocade reminded me of just how fashionable this Paolo Martin–Pininfarina style was 30-plus years ago. Fiat 130. 1969–77 (prod. 15,093 saloon, 4,294 coupé). 2-door coupé, 4-door saloon. F/R, 2866, 3235 cm³ (V6 OHV). Biggest modern Fiat, in a market sector the marque has...
My mother had told me when I left that I had a cousin, Christine, in Singapore. Of course, I delayed, arranging things with her only at the last minute. So, here I was in the middle of a Thai jungle on the 26th having to get to Singapore by the night of the 27th to see my cousin before she took off...
My friend Chuck got me hooked on Car IQ on Facebook—and I have been playing the darned quiz and even wrote one with the pics I had from Autocade. It also helped that I am ’fluey, not really having the brain power to do proper work. Writing my quiz was hard because it was missing so many models...
[Cross-posted] There’s a part of us that’s slightly cynical about the corporate involvement in this video, but it’s no different from sponsorships from fashion designers or fabric companies at polytechnic level. General Motors teamed up with the International Academy of Design & Technology and...
1) Gas prices. I am so so glad that this doesn't directly affect me. Every news program seems to have at least one story about how high prices have become (and they are much higher in Canada than the US, now and always), but since we walk or take metro everywhere, gas prices just don't figure into...
If you have a car you might want to check out genuine warranty solutions where you can get warranty options for your vehicle which includes motorhome or a marine vessel. You want to be protected so it would be a good idea to check out your options after all most of us spend a lot of time in some...
Show us something rusty. Submitted by Colleen M. I gotta go with Bessie Bronco here. There's a lot more rust where that came from!
For some reason I enjoyed researching these US-built cars on Autocade. Some are forgotten for very good reasons, others out of unfairness. Not a complete list by any means, but hopefully I can challenge some memories out there. Eagle Medallion. 1988–9 (prod. unknown). 4-door sedan, 5-door wagon....
These are way too cool. I saw some at a paper factory in Taiwan that were Chinese-made; these are from Japan. Above are an Alfa 156 Sportwagon and a 2000 Honda Civic Type R. There are also unlikely-to-appear-on-paper models there like the Chrysler PT Cruiser....
Wouldn’t it be fun to look for cars called 600? Maybe not. I know I have missed the Fiat 600 and the BMW 600 (remember when BMW made bubble cars that make the Smart ForTwo look huge?) but how about these with the same name? These are all from Autocade. Mercedes-Benz 600 Mercedes-Benz 600....
