What Happens to Old Formula 1 Cars? Fate, Museums, and More
After a race is over, most race cars head into the pits for repairs so they’re ready for the next one. But what happens to the cars that are done for good? Like, say a new season has started and certain teams won’t be using their old cars anymore—where do those end up? Are they sold off? Do they land in a museum? Honestly, it just depends on what the team decides.

Why Cadillac Struggles to Match Mercedes and BMW in U.S. Prestige
This question came up when I saw Cadillac trying to make a comeback with the Celestiq and some other pricey EVs. I mean, for decades now, it has felt like most people don’t really get Cadillac anymore—even in the U.S. A lot of folks prefer European cars over Cadillacs, and that’s one of the reasons the brand’s been slowly fading. In 2024, Cadillac probably sell around 100K cars, while Mercedes can hit 300K a year in the U.S. That’s kind of weird, especially since Cadillac is supposed to be a classic American brand. So what happened?

MKIV Fans Betrayed: Why the New Supra Disappointed
This thought hit me when I saw some people talking about the Supra Mk5. It seems like Toyota never really planned to keep the Supra going in the first place. Back then, it was just a regular sports car—kind of like a Corvette or any other performance car on the market. When the Mk4 was discontinued, Toyota probably didn’t see a good reason to keep making it.

What Happened to GM? The Surprising Reasons for the Auto Giant’s Demise
I got the idea to write this because I noticed that General Motors just isn’t as big as it used to be. A few decades ago, they practically dominated the market—especially in the 1950s and ’60s—when most cars in the world came from the U.S. Sure, there were other companies around, especially from Japan, but they weren’t major players yet. Then by the 2000s, GM seemed to be on the decline. So what happened?
