Learn About ‘Roll Center’ Before You Lower or Lift Your Car

By Betty C. Morrow 5 months ago

This week on Car Bibles, we ran one of my favorite blogs on the site so far: A nicely illustrated explainer of the concept of “roll center.” It runs through how your vehicle’s ride height involves more science than just the center of gravity, and I highly recommend reading it before making adjustments.

Cars of the GM Heritage Center: An Insider’s Look

Cars of the GM Heritage Center, 1912–1969

Approximately 20 miles north of downtown Detroit, the General Motors Heritage Center preserves a treasure trove of historic vehicles. Not open to the general public — but eventually available for special events when health conditions allow — the Center contains about 600 significant GM vehicles. Some are “firsts” for the company as well as the auto industry (the first electric starter), others are concepts and technological leaps (the first gas turbine car), while others are one-offs, race cars and milestone production vehicles. It is truly an amazing collection to witness if one can eventually wrangle an invitation.

With an undisclosed “high-end” electric car maker looking to open a showroom and service center in Mishawaka, some nearby residents think all the signs point to one company: Tesla.

The Mishawaka Plan Commission voted 4-3 this week in favor of a proposal by a Chicago-based developer to convert the former JC Penney Home Store, at Grape and Cleveland roads, into a 36,000-square-foot automotive facility.
