If you could buy any car..?

The bad thing about those is a full tune up and service costs around $10,000.

Australian model. They changed the nose on one to use it in the Mad Max movies. I’m not clue’d up on US cars but the standard answer I hear is the US doesn’t have an identical model but it has ones that are quite similar.

I do like the Maloo Ute.
Not much use where I live or what I do but they go real well.
A while back a stock one clocked a 2 way average of 168 mph is testing.
I’ve driven a couple but never the top models and never in anger. They do have a reputation of being a bit of a handful when used hard.

He's explained the old Chrysler vin's, and they actually make perfect sense, and give alot of info.
Old Fords and GM's,...not so much.

I had the last of the VZ series with the 6.0 lt R8 version. Absolute beast of a thing.
" Mark Skaife proved its speed on May 25, 2006, when he tore down a test range in Woomera, South Australia, at 277.16km/h in a four-speed automatic version (the manual version couldn’t pull top revs in sixth). But that’s not the speed you’ll find under its name in the Guinness World Record books. Its average speed of 271.44km/h was taken from passes in both directions over a full 1000m. Either way, it smashed the previous record held by a Dodge Ram SRT-10 packing a Viper V10 – by more than 20km/h. "
Is the bed functional or is it a big trunk?

Fully functional. The lid hinges behind the cabin on gas struts. So can’t take much in the way of height. And the tailgate folds down for ease of loading. Had a fully fitted liner from factory to protect the tub

80% of them were sold to well off tradies who towed their jet skis behind them. Had the Toyota for the real load carrying
Pick up trucks are the number one selling vehicle here...
Just in my neighborhood alone just about every other house has a pick up in the driveway......
And the others have SUVs of some sort.....

Personally for me would be a Gen 5 Dodge Viper.
I will agree with the previous posts, after a Hayabusa not many cars compare. I sold my Gen 3 Viper because.... it was slow. Was it though? After the busa it was

Generally referred to people whose work is based on trades. And generally in construction. So builders, sparkles, plumbers, brickies, etc
My son is an electrician so he would be a sparkle(er)?

Love these. When they put the hard top on the Viper I thought that was the perfect car. I got to sit in a Gen 2 (I think). As I recall the engine was so big and so far back, that the foot well was pretty small. Cool...
My first cousin is an electrician in Northern Ireland, and there they're called 'sparks'
lol

Went out for the monthly breakfast with my local “coffee and cars” club. A few of them are into bikes, but way more cars, Utes and trucks out here. This is the norm around here…
