Of the last 15 models added to #Autocade, the current models (as opposed to historical ones) were all crossovers or SUVs. This is what makes the project less interesting IMO. But one must persevere.
#Autocade is back down to 10,000–13,000 page views a day. Wonder what caused that nice jump last week.

Found a tiny bit of time to add a couple of cars to #Autocade. The Chinese car space is interesting but you need more time to translate. Not everything that makes it to the occident is complete or, sometimes, correct.
I did a post with interest hashtags but don’t think I ever posted an intro on Mastodon.

@strypey @robertwgehl @maetl @weka @explorergrace @verbman @heyrochelle @jcct @natecull Cool, going to check it out. A quick glance at the home page suggests this is exactly up my alley. Stuff I had been doing (even with @lucire and #Autocade, not just my personal blog) without knowing there were like minds out there.
#Autocade’s popular pages: the Ford Taunus 80 was beaten by the latest Corolla last week, and the Kia Morning (TA) is not far behind. Reflective of history, Toyotas taking over tables once led by Fords.
Overnight, the model page for the current Toyota Corolla has jumped into first place on #Autocade. Never seen a leap like this in the 14 years the siteʼs been going.
Did not expect to see the Kia Morning (TA) race up the leaderboard on #Autocade like this! Came out of nowhere, well below 50th. Welcome to all those new readers!
Hopefully Iʼve got the main line covered. You can now trace the lineage from the 1950 Nash Rambler through to the 1978 AMC Matador on #Autocade, beginning here and clicking on each successor: http://autocade.net/index.php/Nash_Rambler_(1950%E2%80%932)
#Autocade gets between 11,000 and 18,000 page views a day. One ad on there is hard-coded for one particular network. They claim to see only 300 hits to their ad. More ad network BS from Google et al? Would love to know where the other 17,700 hits have gone! @AdContrarian@twitter.com @dmarti@twitter.com
Sneak preview of the next #Autocade skin for mobile devices. Coming soon to http://autocade.net
Finally got round to adding this one to #Autocade. http://autocade.net/index.php/VAZ_2121
