What do You Want to do with Your Old Car Parts?

The world is now full of people who are looking for different ways to reduce, reuse or recycle items to let them have a second life as something else.

A Look Back; How the Pontiac Fiero Won Our Hearts

In the 1980s the was a car that many of us loved at first because it was a mid-engined vehicle that offers an easy to live with price, a two seater coupe style and a definitive shape that let you feel like you were actually driving a Ferrari. In fact the name is somewhat close to Ferrari, if you use your imagination, and the Fiero was meant to be a fiery player in the automotive world that would be a great ride in the back roads of America, which every town and state seemed to have.

Is Cadillac about to go Crossover Crazy?

In a market where Cadillac is about to replace its best-selling crossover SUV, the SRX with the new XT5 which made its debut at the Dubai motor show there is a hint at more crossovers to come. Why would Cadillac want more crossovers? Most likely this would be an effort to be actually competitive in the market.
