    Really, anything is better than before. Kent Police were still using the Skoda Octavia for Police Interceptor duties (where most counties had upgraded to Subarus)

    Eh, In all honesty I could take it or leave, most likely leave it. I've never really cared for Mustangs, Or any pony cars really.

    I'm a bit late to the party here, but hell yes it can do a burnout.
    My dad has a '14 Genesis R-Spec, which comes with the 5.0l V8. 430hp all going to the rear wheels. It'll light'em up.
    Not sure about the models with the smaller engines.

    They are ok, but they are not good as Police Interceptors, which are used for high-speed chases.

    Challenger's are great and all, but not the most practical thing in the world, at least not compared to the truck.

    Someone in Florida stole an SSV badge & an HSV flags badge off a Commodore, He had only had them on the car for a week.

    Also, when Holden says "full size spare", they aren't messing around. (Spare is one on left)

    Had my mother in the truck with me today on the way back from town, we saw a Shelby Cobra kit car going the other way, and my mother immediately has 90 questions, Like, "What is that? Why's it so small? Is it road legal? How old is it? Can two people ride in it? Wheres the trunk?" Etc.

    She had no idea what it was, even when it belonged to one of my late father's good friends.

    I got momentarily stuck in about 2 inches of silty mud yesterday.
    I was messing around in a new subdivision, and all the rain we've gotten lately had washed a ton of mud into one particular coul-de-sac on a hill. Tried to get the rear end of the car to kick out on the dirt, but it was deeper and slicker than I anticipated, so I just pushed the front wheels and almost shoved the nose of the car into the bank on the downhill side of the road. I couldn't go forward and I'd just spin the wheels if I tried to back up. By giving it a little bit of gas in reverse to keep the rear wheels spinning I was able to get the rear end of the car to slide down the hill and off of the mud onto dry pavement.
    Limited slip diffs ftw.

    I spotted a Skyline at work today the owner wants to get a warrant of fitness for it but I highly doubt it would pass.

    I'm guessing a Warrant of Fitness is a bit like an MOT (compulsory yearly inspection to make sure the vehicle is roadworthy)?

    I think that there was a pod filter some where inside of the car, other than that I'm not sure.
