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:

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

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

I also have written for Curbside Classic.
It is a great site to read as one eats lunch.
