If you own this next car and your wife ever asks you why the groceries get so hot on the way home from the store, you should probably change the subject. Same goes if she starts asking why the wheels are green. Why aren’t all wheels green, is the proper response. I still think that […]
This next car came with a description by the seller of a “Star Wars air cleaner” and I had to take a look and see just what that could be. And yes…it does look like a part from a land speeder or the Millennium Falcon has been repurposed to allow this 430 cubic inch V8 […]
Stepping into a Buick dealer in 1992 and looking at the 2-door coupes must have been a strange experience. Starting at the bottom end of the cost spectrum you could get an ugly compact thing called a Skylark based on the N-body. Too small– so you upsize to a mid sized Century coupe and maybe […]

But, unlike its front-drive cousins, the Riviera used a conventional front-engine rear-drive setup and weight transfer was a friend. The 2nd generation (1966-1970) still featured the cool hidden flip-out headlights, and Buick’s […]
The Citroen GS/GSA was a small economy car built in France (later at factories around the world) as a small family car loaded with strange luxury items and a kammback design that allegedly gave it aerodynamics unlike anything else on the road in 1970. There was even a wankel powered version that used an engine […]
