It’s quite easy to think of the Cadillac BLS as the missing link between the controversial Cadillac-badged 1980s Chevy Cavalier called the Cimarron and the more modern Cadillac ATS. After all, this compact luxury sedan made between 2006 and 2010 pairs a small footprint with Cadillac’s Art and Science design language in one mildly discomforting package. That’s not to say that the BLS is ugly, it’s just a bit uncanny....

What’s the theme, here? Is this Oldsmobile in the Russian-occupied part of Narnia or some shit? Are those streamers or vines? Was this representative of Old’s target market? Witches and Russians? As for the witch and the Russian guy…I got nothing. Also, this is a costume party. The woman as a fairy godmother (wand has a star), the man as a cossack, and the Delta 88 as a sports car....

Not only does football provide a great source of entertainment, but it also provides a chance to make some extra money. The amount of money that you can make depends on a couple of different factors, but the possibility is there. Your chances of making it into the NFL are pretty slim unless you are a world-class athlete, but you can still use the sport to help you cash in....

I know people have been thinking about this, because we at The Autopian were awoken by the incredibly loud klaxon and flashing, caged red light that goes off whenever we’re tagged on Twitter. People are discussing fuel gauge notation, and they want us involved, and this is not something I can say no to. I’ve tried to distill down the variety of fuel gauges into six main categories; I know there will be some outliers, which I’ve covered here before, or on the Old Site, so if there’s a hyper-specific variant I’ve missed, please know this was not a personal slight, at least not one I’m admitting publicly, but I’m pretty certain You Know What You Did....

I guess the car is really more themed in Adventures in Odyssey livery, which seems to be some sort of Christian-themed audio drama series involving an old guy with an ice cream shop and a lot of wholesome goings-on that end with some manner of evangelical messages, I guess. I’m not familiar with the property, to be honest, for reasons I’m guessing you can figure out. [Editor’s Note: Jason has spoken with the creators of Pixar’s Cars series, and has written ad nauseam about how the franchise screwed up the location of the characters’ eyes....

I got my motorcycle license in the spring of 2018 and wasted no time before collecting all kinds of old Japanese motorcycles. Almost all of them were what motorcyclists call UJM, or “Universal Japanese Motorcycle.” Japanese motorcycles of the 1970s and 1980s not only looked similar between brands, but their spec sheets were remarkably similar, too, hence the “universal.” Motorcycle.com says the term describes standard-class motorcycles, but it’s really far more expansive....

This week I’m bringing you an import from Greece, a sweet K5 Blazer-based camper, and maybe a Volkswagen that you’ve never seen before. I often search the entire country for a good balance of price and vehicle condition. But sometimes, some really cool cars end up for sale with really high prices. It’s disappointing, of course, but there’s nothing wrong with window shopping and dreaming. So join me in looking at some fun cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles....

This is good timing from GM (or, I guess, GM via CorvetteNut) because the weather outside is indeed frightful. Imagine if those Seattle drivers all had all-wheel drive Corvettes! And also spiked tires! And were trained drivers! It’s fun to watch the Corvette malamute around, though there isn’t much that’s particularly edifying, at least to my eye. The big figure everyone wants to hear is the combined power of the electric motor and the gas motor....

They will likely have significant responsibility for fiscal policies and general operations; they will also need to motivate individuals to work to the best of their ability.

At the high end of the timeshare scale, you’ll find about 60 properties owned and managed by Marriott. If you’re lucky enough to own one of these timeshares, no doubt you’ve made some amazing memories over the years. But what happens if your circumstances change and you need to sell your timeshare? Even if you read the fine print, you might still be wondering, “What is Right of First Refusal?...

It is considered to be the premier accounting qualification available, noted for the difficulty of its examinations and the requirement to complete three years of technical work experience....

It can be difficult to know exactly what someone’s role is and where they sit in the managerial hierarchy. At the very top of management are the roles of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO). These two roles often work together in harmony, but they are quite different roles and have individual responsibilities. If you harbor ambitions to reach senior management within your career, you must understand the distinction between these two job roles....

There’s a misconception that mentoring can only take place in global conglomerates, or for large organizations with big budgets and a dedicated HR team responsible for learning and development programs. But the truth is that mentoring is far more accessible than you may think, and it can often be found in smaller firms. At its heart, mentoring is about building a relationship between two people (mentor and mentee) where you can learn from one another....

But before we talk about all of that, it’s time for a short sociology lesson. As we humans grow up and develop into adults, we tend to gravitate to other kids who share our common interests and backgrounds. We also tend to do stupid stuff that gets us into trouble. My formative years were no different, and in my High School in 1970’s New Jersey, we had the jocks, the nerds, the music and drama types, and the greasers....

Well, that’s pretty conclusive. And as it so happens, I agree; I’d love to have a Rampage, but I think I’ll hold out for one that isn’t quite so derelict. And I’ve been a fan of Nissan trucks for many years. Speaking of derelict, for today I found a pair of crusty Fiats that have complete drivelines and reasonably solid bodies, but no interiors to speak of. As such, they are good candidates to become LeMons race cars or Gambler cars or or maybe just headaches waiting to happen....
