With that in mind, it appears as though some GM trucks are generally less safe than others.

GM revealed the fully refreshed 2025 Cadillac CT5 almost a year ago, followed by the performance-oriented 2025 CT5-V and high-performance 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. These changes introduced visual tweaks to the front end along with new tech to benefit the interior. Amid the design changes, one detail – the C-pillar treatment – was left well alone, despite having aggravated some folks when the CT5 initially debuted in 2019. A lot’s happened in the world since then, then so we’re asking the question again.

The Pontiac Sunbird was produced between 1975 and 1994, adopting the J2000 / 2000 name for its second generation in the early ‘80s. Offered as an affordable compact / subcompact with a dash of sporty attitude, it’s relatively rare to find a clean example these days. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what we have right here, as seen in a new online auction.

A study by the self-storage company Storeganise ranks Colorado seventh in the U.S. for retail theft. It should come as no surprise as a Walmart in Aurora announced earlier this month that it is closing due to retail theft. Other locations, such as Central Park in Denver, have locked up an extraordinary amount of their merchandise. Customers now must find clerks to unlock products from cases and put them in a locked box to be unlocked at checkout.

The City of Aurora’s plan for a homeless navigation campus focusing on “work first” is coming together. The City Council will vote during its study session Monday on a resolution sponsored by council member Dustin Zvonek that spells out how the campus will operate. “The City of Aurora wishes to pursue an alternative to the ‘Housing First’ approach, by setting requirements and expectations for housing to include participation in addiction recovery, mental health, and job training programs to better address homelessness,” the resolution states. “It is inhumane and economically unwise to allow individuals experiencing homelessness to remain on the streets, or simply offer unconditional housing, rather than providing them with the necessary support services that offer a structured path to self-sufficiency and housing.”
