If you like some parts of Regular Car Reviews (but could deal without jokes that appeal to the lowest hanging fruit), Motorweek retro and The Truth About Cars then I strongly suggest checking out Curbside Classics curbside. I stumbled upon it when looking for a source regarding a CVT Subaru Justy's ability to reach the same top speed in reverse as it can in drive. In poking around I think I've found a solid site to add to the weekly and possibly daily reading.

Paul is local to me and has covered my Fiat and I am told my Falcon. Seems like a real nice guy.

Just read the review of the 1985 Olds Toronado. What a well written article with what I believe a very astute observation of that cars place in the automotive world.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I always liked those third generation Toronados.

Curbside Classics is a blog I always forget about, but it's really good. Thanks for reminding me that it exists.

Also, I had no idea this happened: http://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/cc-capsule/mexican-mopars-part-2-chrysler-stratus-and-cirrus-2-4-turbo-clouds-that-fly/

Never knew you could get a Cloud Car with a turbo down in Mexico.

Yeah, Stratus Cop Cars! I kinda want one. I have a buddy in Mexico who's been trying to get into a project car and turbo Dodges are still a big deal down there.

A Stratus Turbo would make a good sleeper car and paint it as a taxi
