The esoteric differences between the terms Curb, Gross and Shipping Weight
A complete history of the Pontiac Fiero

Oh, wow. This site is excellent.
My boss in '95 had a Reatta as well. She refused to let her employees (all ISP nerds) mess with the touchscreen.

Excellent post, looking forward to the M3 and Datsun 510 write-ups especially.

Nice site, for sure.
Of course, the 2nd and 3rd articles are brief histories of the the Kaiser-Frazer car company. My dad was one of the founders of the Kaiser Frazer Owners Club, and he'll get a kick out of the articles (once my mom prints them out for him, cause he doesn't like computers much).

Wow, cool find. I could waste a good day reading there. The articles about the Reatta and the Seville really drive home how clueless CM was (is).

I just found this site recently, and it is absolutely amazing. Deep articles on all types of topics automotive. Truly a gem.
saladin: Your M3 write-up. Like all AUWM articles, it's heavy on the history. And then it details just the E30 M3, but, c'mon, the E30 is the only real M3, right? (Ok, not really.)
Looking forward to a 510 write-up myself.

Perhaps I should have linked to the archive, wherein you will find this.
If you were really planning on getting any work done, I apologize...

Damn, this is great. Don't think that I've been so interested in reading about cars since I was 10 years old ...
