Roy Cats cut me an absurd deal and we hang out every once in awhile. There's a pretty high probability I'll buy most of my future vehicles from him. Plus the Lamborghini repair place is a part of his dealership.

It should have the Olds variant of the 215 aluminum V8 that became the Rover V8. Not the highest HP, but the car is relatively light. It's actually a variation of the Corvair chassis, if you can believe it.


Well, poo poo. The Pontiac chassis shouldn't be a problem (except, I'm pretty sure those are unibodies...), but the 301 is a crime. Just means you'll have to shove in an Olds 403, right?

Fake edit: Yep, unibody. Which means, if it's actually on a different chassis, that it's been hacked up. Sad.

Yeah I didn't even bother to check. That's just what the owner told me. I didn't buy it and it sold a few days later. It looked pretty badass (from a distance), but was to big of a mess for me to take on at the moment.

I thought about buying a custom plate when I get the R but I don't need to give people an easier way to report my aggressive driving on an already easy to see car. But I guess with a Lambo there's not much mistaking it for a different one.

It's impractical, inefficient, automatic, slower than a V6 Camry and handles about as well. But it's pretty and comfy awesome sounds come out of it.

Yeah my OO swapped in headers and an X-pipe feeding the stock resonators and mufflers, it's just :kimchi:.
I'm not a huge fan of the fact that the OO de-catted when they did this since I kinda like polar bears, but I'll probably get a pair of those Magnaflow bullet cats once my budget allows.

That's a Gen-F, so sometime after 2013. 2017 still looks to be the end of the Commodore and thus the platform HSV uses. HSV have been making wink-wink-nod-nod comments regarding their future when asked about V8 rear wheel drive vehicles, who really knows what will come out of them going forward. If it's a hotted up front wheel drive Malibu I'll probably have to shoot myself.

I think a lot of where GM will go depends on how well the Mustang does down here. Ford are talking a big game about pre-orders. If Mustang sales start eating into Holdens performance vehicle margins, which they should, i would expect some sort of rear wheel coupe. Maybe that GM concept from a year or so ago that everyone in Oz started harking as the new Torana. More likely we see a global Camaro. Figure we'll know something by the end of the year.

"Can pay for," i.e. "afford" is a nebulous term. In my definition, to be able to "afford" a car, you just go and purchase it, without asking a bank if it would please front you some cash. From what it sounds like, you have a term on your first one that exceeds some people's mortgage length.

Can you "afford" one?
