    The current gen Taurus is a travesty.
    The new one is still a travesty because it's got a transverse wimpy euro engine paired with the front wheels and thinks it is a viable replacement for the mighty Panther platform. However I can say I quite like the styling,
    It'd be badass if it had a longitudinal v8 paired with the rear wheels.

    Today I was forced to peel off all my tint but the back window by a county police officer. I hate it. I looks so plain now. I think I am going to post it on craigslist today. I love it, but im really looking to get a p71. Ill try asking 1800 for it, so I hopefully get at least 1600.

    You had to peel it off right there in front of him?
    Brutal.
    You should have no problem selling a GMQ as clean as yours at that price. I've thought about getting the vic tinted, but I'm not sure that I want the extra attention from cops.

    The 2015 Ford Mustang is still yet to even touch Australian roads but that hasn't stopped enthusiasts, over 4000 have already been sold. The Mustang is already sold out in Australia for at least 12 months. Yeah GM, muscle cars are totally dead.

    I think I posted a few pages back or was that on the general car discussion that they arrived here in NZ 5 or 6 days ago.

    I for one think this is a good decision ford has done knowing how popular mustangs globalisation has been I can see Chevrolet and Chrysler doing the same.

    Chrysler said at some point a few months back that the Challenger might be hitting Australian streets at some point soon, Chevrolet has said Australia isn't getting the Corvette but they haven't really been specific about the Camaro.

    Loving these check engine lights, I didn't know I bought a Volkswagen. My engine shouldn't be idling that high either, I lifted the gas pedal to make sure it wasn't stuck. Only happened once.

    I also saw a Ferrari 458 Speciale before I got out of my school zone. I didn't have much time to take a picture luckily I had my phone in the cup holder instead of my pocket. I would chase it down but there were more cars coming.
