Welcome to Graded. Here we discuss legendary marques, models, or trim packages and affix a letter grade to a selection of vehicles falling under that topic.

Confessions – The Worst Car Mod I Ever Did
We’ve all done them; modifications to our cars we’re deeply ashamed of. Sometime the regret is instantaneous, sometimes it’s a slow boil of disgust that eventually festers into full-on repulsion. Over my lifetime, I have made more than enough erroneous enhancements to my cars. But no car suffered worse than my first car – theContinue reading “Confessions – The Worst Car Mod I Ever Did”
Find of the Day – 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora
If people keep posting these cars at these prices, I’m going to cave in one day and buy one. This 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora looks to be in great shape inside and out (and hopefully mechanically as well). It is even my favourite colour for the first generation cars. The upgraded audio is also seamlessly integratedContinue reading “Find of the Day – 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora”

I don’t remember the first time I saw an Oldsmobile Aurora. There wasn’t this ah-ha moment were one drove by and my life changed forever. It was more of a slow burn, with these unusual cars burrowing their way into my psyche over time. The more of them I saw, the more I was captivatedContinue reading “Irrational Love – Oldsmobile Aurora”
Choices – 1992 NASCAR Coupes
Welcome back to Choices. An evolution of a series I wrote years ago where seemingly similar cars are pit against one another in a battle for your affection. It’s like trying to choose your favourite child (although some days that’s easier than others). Your task, if you agree to accept it, is to determine whichContinue reading “Choices – 1992 NASCAR Coupes”
Ode to an Alero
A Love Letter to My First Car Everyone remembers their first time. The anticipation, excitement and nervousness. The thoughts spinning around their head. Am I really ready for this?
