    I still don't understand where people get off saying that Suburbans are some kind of gargantuan beast, when they are EXACTLY the same size as a long bed pickup with a camper shell.

    Also, I think I figured out what the Vomit Rocket's first horsepower upgrade is going to be. Headers. Seriously, you should see the stock exhaust manifolds on this car. They're of the log type (and anyone who has ever played or even seen a video of Automation knows log manifolds cause wars, cancer, and other mean things), and one feeds right into the other.

    Yeah.

    This car could probably gain an easy 30 horsepower just with a good pair of headers.

    Mhm, Genesis Motors. Apparently the Vice President is the ex-director of brand and design for Lamborghini. Hyundai is going places, and I love it.

    Maybe I should rephrase that. To me, a Suburban seems perfectly normal, while on the other hand, cars in the Focus-Golf size, Seem almost disproportionately small.

    For example, my Sister in law as a 4-door Honda Fit, and if you have the back seats up, all you put back there is maybe a sack of potatoes.
    If you ride in the front, you get to know the other person in the front quite well, Whether you want to or not, as the gear shift is exactly one micron away from either front passenger's knee. Not to mention being on the highway at 70 feels like your doing 70 on the highway in a shopping cart.

    I know semis are big, but it could've only taken up 2 spots. This truck driver was plain sloppy. 20160502_184907.jpg

    I went to look at this lovely 240 today. I fuckin want it. Body isn't that bad, but then the hood wouldn't even open.. The owners were up front about all the problems though. They did say that they'd come down to 500. Planning to go back with one of my parents if it doesn't sell before then. Took it for a quick test drive, never even went over 20 but from what I could tell it drove decently. 4 speed with broken overdrive. Broken AC. Etc. I want it.

    The abuse comes from a brit, holden dont sell a single vauxhall product. Vauxhalls are all rebadged Opels with the exception of the ampera which is a chevy volt and the vxr8 which is a holden commodore (which is a genuine holden vehicle).

    Opel. Not vauxhall, not holden. Both companies just rebadge the Opel.
