New Nando vs Saguaro Game
We've just added a new and improved version of one of our most popular games on the website -- Nando vs Saguaro. This challenging maze game tests your memory, agility, and speed as you guide Nando through a maze. But watch out! As you drive Nando through the maze the Saguaro cactus will be chasing you at every turn. Your objective is to guide Nando through the maze and collect a series of objects while avoiding the Saguaro cactus. If he catches you before you've collected all the hidden objects you'll get a flat tire. Once you gather all the objects you must find and banish the Saguaro cactus and then find the bridge that will take you to the next level.
Every maze is different, and as you get to a new level the game becomes more challenging and exciting. You only have a limited number of spare tires, so you must be quick and careful and as you guide Nando through the maze. Your goal is to complete the game in the shortest amount of time.
Are you ready to play? Do you think you might make it to the high scoreboard? Test your skills today on the new Nando vs Saguaro game and try to get the best time! Let us know what you think of this new version of this popular game. And stay tuned -- more new and existing games will be available soon.

Not Chevron Cars, but . . .
We are often asked about the Chevron trucks shown here in an image sent in by Jake, who recently received these "beautiful model trucks" as a gift. He writes that "on the undercarriage of each model, it says 'Exclusively for Chevron.' These models are made in England by the Lledo Toy Company."
You have it correctly, Jake. These intricate model trucks were made between 1990 and 1993, and are a few inches long. Lledo was a company founded by Jack Odell, and bore his name spelled backwards. Odell was a partner in the firm that made the famous Matchbox die-cast metal cars many readers may remember. When he left the firm in 1982, he started Lledo with a number of former Matchbox alums. No wonder these are such wonderful objects.
The black car in the middle is a replica of a 1920 Red Crown Gasoline Ford Model T Tank Truck. Imagine, a Ford Model T as a gasoline delivery truck! What would Travis Tanker say?
On the right is a red 1936 Packard Standard Announcer car. The green car on the left seems to be the 1939 Chevy RPM Pickup.
Thanks Ajke for sending this in and reminding us of the great tradition of oil-related vehicles going back almost a century.
