i live 2 miles from the nearest town, and that town has less than 700 people. the next closest town is 6 miles away and has 25,000 people. taking the bus or riding the train isnt an option for me. not everybody lives in a metropolitan area with mass transit available everywhere you go :roll:

Here is my ride which I will never ever sell...

1988 NO RUST and kept in the Original and clean state when it was rolled off of the factory line in Australia. Restored by me.

And a 1988 YouTube Video (not from my Channel) showing it off

I want to see GM bring the Holden Commodore stateside, and make a proper attempt at it. (I know the 2000s GTO was the same damn car, but it was never really marketed well.)

Call it an Impala so a good car name isn't slapped on a bucket of beige front wheel drive wallpaper paste anymore.
Bring the Ute version as well, slap a federal front end on it, call it an El Camino.
Build a station wagon derivative, call it the Nomad.

In return, Ford can start selling the Mustang in Australia. (I'm pretty sure they work upside-down.)

I know. :( (The GTO was pretty much unchanged, but that was the exception to the rule.)

At least the Ute looks a hell of a lot cooler than those stupid Isuzu based Colorado pickups.

2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R - I love this car and I don't think I could ever settle for less than 177hp and I can never go back to horrible stock sound systems again.

The only pictures that I have of my car are the ones I took after it was in an accident so I'll leave those here, here, and here, and a stock image is below.
