Somehow we seem to be getting well screwed....... don't get me started on gas prices... I will get banned from here.... I hear you load and clear Phil and I really feel you ( our ) pain..... and yeah a V12 Jag is on my list too...... so.... I was feeling a bit crappy from a lousy week losing my precious Beagle..... I needed to clear my head and today is a really nice day...................... so I took the Tahoe out for a rattle............... there is a real good road I take the Corvette on, smooth and real curvy ............... I had some good old 60's rock and roll on, and I was slicing through 60 km curves at 90 like nothing...... it was unreal... I have Magnetic Ride Control on it ( factory Chevrolet Corvette suspension ) which I have on both my Corvettes....... that 5000 pound truck corners like it's on rails ! AND to top it of I was getting a consistent 10L/100 km ( what ever that is, but it isn't bad) I took a pic of it on my phone to show my buddy........it sounded cool too, with the Borla exhaust.... just sayin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the Falcon Ute not being there... a bit like the El Camino. I'd love an Amarok... but they want a ton of money for them. But you can buy a vehicle in the US and register it there in Canadistan? oh... eh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
