RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Top Ten GM Standouts-- Part 4
I'll finish the last four quickly as they didn't really mean anything to me.
1980s
1984 Pontiac Fiero-- Conceived as a two-seat companion to the Firebird until a last-minute decision made it 4-cylinder and economical with most having manual transmission. Well, at least it looked sporty. I'd have to say today's Pontiac Solstice is an upscale version of the Fiero.
1990s
1996 EVI
Started life as the Impact, the worst car name in history. But the battery-operated two-seater put GM at the forefront of the alternative car field. Died a few years later when a battery supplier couldn't be found.
2000s
2001 Pontiac Aztek--Defined butt-ugly because of the rear-end.
2002 Cadillac CTS-- Saved the division with its "leading-edge design.
Well, these are Jim Metaja's picks.
