Ah, yes. Story Oldsmobile/Nissan. I purchased a '93 Maxima there and drove that baby for ten years. It was an excellent car. I moved away from East Lansing in 2004, but I come back to visit family every year. I had noticed some old cars in the Story showroom the last few times I've been through town. Wonder what Read more

Go Green!

Or come see our State Tree in front of the capitol building. It looks like a fat guy in a sweater:

Everyone remembers Fargo but Paris, Texas also had a pretty prominent Oldmobile

I drive by it all the time and just figured somebody forgot they left some cars in there. Read more

That car is a Vista Cruiser! You could literally cruise the vistas!

Heading to Kalamazoo tomorrow, my have to wander over to Lansing and check that out. Although I think I'm heading on down to Shipshewana for the Hudson Museum, so time may not be on my side for a Lansing trip. Read more

Oldsmobile sounds so boring, Ransommobile sounds so much better. Read more
