Advancing Again

I have starting working a second job at Advance Auto Parts again, so I may be posting more or less, I’m not sure which yet. It would be hard to post any less than I have the last two months, so I suspect that I will end up posting more. When I worked there two years ago I found lots of good stuff to post.

Chevrolet Lumina APV

Lumina APV

I was shocked to see this late 1980’s Lumina APV still reasonably intact and on the road in 2009. These vans were so horribly unreliable that 99% of them were junked long ago. Most of the body is plastic, and was another step in the development of GM’s plastic body panels which finally found success in with the Saturn SL in 1991. It was not uncommon to see these APV’s with pieces falling off when they were less than 10 years old.

Maserati Quattroporte

Maserati Quattroporte

Another fairly rare and exotic newer car in the area. I saw an identical Maserati Quattroporte parked about five miles away from this spot a few weeks ago but could not get photos at the time.

The Audi R8 Again

Audi R8

Another sighting of the elusive local R8, West Oxmoor heading up the hill to Bluff Park. One day I’m going to find it parked and get some better photos. Sorry for the photo quality, I had to grab the camera and shoot through my ruined windshield.

1990 Honda Civic DX Hatchback

1990 Honda Civic DX

Long time SOTS readers know that I have a special love for Honda Civics, especially DX 5-speed hatchbacks. Here is a 1990 version that is for sale in the area. Only 193K miles!

Another Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

We’ve seen one of these before, here is another 1979-1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz still in excellent condition. Enjoy.

Driver Education

This is how Driver Education is done people! I did this on my Big Wheel all the time, I’m sure if Power Wheels would have existed when I was young I would have done it in those also.

VW Scirocco GTI

VW Scirocco GTI

Unless you are a VW fanatic you probably don’t even know that they made a GTI version of the Scirocco, but they sold them in the U.S. from 1979-1982.

Honda CRX Si

Honda CRX Si

I found this decent CRX Si sitting in the grocery store parking lot. Like the MR2 from last week, it is rare to find one of these that hasn’t been ragged/riced to death, especially in the desirable black color. This one has a few battle scars but overall isn’t too bad, but is in need of some TLC.

One Hot Saturn

That's Hot!!!

I think it’s safe to assume that the tag on this 2000-2002 Saturn SL1 came from another vehicle. The SL1 does not even have the dual-cam engine in my SL2, so this car has never been THAT hot!
