Bloomington’s coolest garage: Cadillac meets Datsun

Imagine finally tracking down the car you lost decades ago—and parking it right next to your classic Cadillac. That’s exactly what Cynthia Clapham did in Bloomington. After years of searching, she found a rare 1982 Datsun 280ZX 2+2, bought it sight unseen from Nebraska, and had it shipped home. Now, her driveway sports both the massive ’72 Cadillac Eldorado and the sleek Datsun, each with its own story. For Cynthia, these cars aren’t just rides—they’re memories, family, and dreams come true. Anyone else have a car that brings back big memories? #Cars #Bloomington #ClassicCars

Car Mods That Could Void Your Insurance?!

Car upgrades can be fun, but did you know some repairs—even pro ones—can totally kill your insurance? Swapping engines, lowering suspension, crazy tints, or even a flashy exhaust might leave you paying out of pocket if you ever need to claim. Insurers want to know about any big changes, and if you skip telling them, you could be out of luck. Always check your policy before making any wild mods! Have you ever had insurance drama after a car repair? Spill the tea below! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarMods

Classic Car Owners’ Wildest Legal Headaches

Who knew owning a classic car could be such a legal minefield? From Nevada’s 5,000-mile limit to Arkansas suddenly deciding your ‘90s ride isn’t vintage enough, the rules are all over the place. Some states ban certain paint colors, others make you prove you own a modern car, and don’t even get started on New York’s license plate drama. Even car shows can mean extra permits! It’s like you need a law degree just to cruise in style. #Cars #BuyingCar #ClassicCars

$2,149 payout alert for Chevy & GMC owners

Chevy and GMC drivers in California, Idaho, and North Carolina could be in for a surprise windfall—up to $2,149 each—thanks to a $150 million settlement over faulty LC9 engines that guzzled too much oil. If you owned or leased a 2011-2014 Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra, Yukon, or Yukon XL (with an LC9 engine) and got it new in one of these states, you might qualify. No claim form needed for most, but act fast: the deadline is August 8. Anyone here planning to claim? Or already received notice? Let’s hear your experience! #Cars #ChevySettlement #GM

San Diego’s big-block Impala wagon find

A 1965 Chevrolet Impala Wagon with a 454 big block V8 just popped up for sale in San Diego, and it’s turning heads among classic car fans. This California survivor has a solid body, original interior, and performance upgrades like a Holley carb, Edelbrock intake, and TH400 auto with a shift kit. It’s not show-ready yet—the body needs paint and the brakes need some love—but the foundation is strong for anyone itching for a restoration project. At $16,500 OBO, is this the ultimate sleeper wagon or just another project? Would you take it on? #Cars #BuyingCar #SanDiegoCars

This Mercedes Pagoda Is a Steal!

A 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda with just 54k miles is up for grabs, and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons. It’s got a creamy exterior, classic ivory interior, and a more powerful engine swap (hello, 280SL power!). Purists might side-eye the non-original engine, but if you want vintage style with extra oomph, this is a dream. At $49,950, it’s a bargain compared to other 230SLs. Would you cruise cross-country in this beauty? #Cars #BuyingCar #MercedesBenz

Detroit’s 10th Clean Express brings perks & purpose

A brand-new Clean Express Auto Wash just opened in St. Clair Shores, marking the 10th spot in metro Detroit and adding a fresh boost to local convenience and community support. Not only does this mean quicker, eco-friendly car washes for busy Detroiters, but it’s also creating jobs and giving back—each new membership during the grand opening sent $10 to Susie Q’s Kids, helping kids in need. With more locations on the way, it’s clear this isn’t just about clean cars—it’s about making a real difference in our neighborhoods. Anyone tried the free Ceramic 4 Ultra wash yet? #Cars #Detroit #StClairShores

Car buying nightmare hits Baltimore families

Losing your life savings on a car you’ve never even seen—imagine the heartbreak. That’s what happened to Tammie Skinner in Calvert County, who spent her $10,000 inheritance on a vehicle that never arrived, leaving her stranded without transport or savings. Another Baltimore-area resident, Debra Godsey, paid $2,800 for a used Chevy that broke down almost immediately, derailing her plans to start a chauffeuring business. Both women say they were ghosted by the dealership, Vehicle Veterans. Stories like these are a wake-up call: how can we protect ourselves and our neighbors from shady car deals? What’s your experience with local dealerships? #Cars #Baltimore #CarBuying
