Maintaining anything mechanical

I dunno, my ex looked after most of her stuff just not her car

I think part of that was down to her dad doing a lot of the regular stuff for her though, I'm really not sure

then again she also gave me her old car cause she'd left it decomposing for like 2 years and I got it back on the road

It's a tool

it's no different to a washing machine

it's a thing

OR they give it a name and treat it like a pet

but most blokes think of their car as an extension or expression of themselves

I mean I don't really see my car as a pet or an expression, but I don't see it as a tool either

my car for me is a source of pleasure

thus I look after it to maintain that

even the cars I've had that were boring to drive

they still provided access to things that were otherwise prohibitively expensive or difficult without a car

and so I made sure I looked after them

How Logical

yeah I can see that

I could see the Stinger being a good car.

Plus commodores and falcons arent made anymore anyway

The only Aussie Cop car needed

😍

Oi m8, She's a beaute! Last of the Falcon v8s!

I'd kill for a falcon xbgt coupe

What I'd kill for, personally, is an America-sold Ranger with a turbo Barra in it.

Preferrably with a 6 or 7 speed manual

We need something to fill the hole left by the Syclone, damnit.

Nah, we don't pussy foot around with that 6cyl nonsense anymore. 5.0 or bust

The last time we had a V8 in a medium/small pickup truck, we had the bullshittery that was the 5.3L Canyon.

Let's not do that again.

V8s are great...for muscle cars and big trucks

lol we don't even have L6's stateside anymore.

Not American made, but we do have them

And not in trucks, I admit

Well, yeah, BMW

BMW's six bangers are all L6s

Even their diesels

Mercedes' new 6 cylinder is gonna be an L6 too, IIRC

Also the Ram 2500 diesel is an L6

A big one

GM has a new 6cyl 3.0 diesel
