Here's a shot of my tow vehicle. Not the most practical unit but a lot of fun to drive when not towing!

Will be looking to change into a 4x4 in the New Year to make life a little easier on those slippery ramps.

Nice car man. I just recently sold my 2004 Pontiac GTO LS1 6-speed. I miss it.

here's our rig, appropriate for the Detroit weather.

Hmmm......

As soon as I scanned your pics, before looking at who & where, I said; "I'll bet that's suburban Detroit .... in fact that could be in the same subdivision as my brother-in-law, in Madison Heights".

Mother-in-law lives in RO ... North/West quadrant of 12-mile & Campbell (that's where wifey is from as well).

These two shots are in front of her house ..... a long time ago ..... Mom-in-law used to love the long, smokey, open header burnouts ..... when we were dating....... That was with my first 68 BBC Camaro. these two were after we were married.

Take a look at the new Pontiac G8 GT... this is the 4 door version of the GTO - 6 liter this time and a far better car! Unfortunately no stick shift option anymore in the USA market.

You can get a 6-speed in the GXP model which comes available this spring...but not the GT car. Sadly.

i envy the Holden products. I really wish we could have the commodore wagon here in the states. It is spectacular to look at!

I live over on the east side of downtown, 4th and Campbell area. Its awesome to see how many people have roots here in the metro area. I had them, ended up here, and now due to this economy there are no jobs left & it looks that I am going to have to leave town. I love royal oak, and lake st clair boating. I really am going to miss this place.

Well.....Crap!

Not very cautious driving = not very happy tow vehicle & a boater with VERY sore ribs & neck.

Looks like a little duct tape, bubblegum, and some can-o-paint overhaul will fix that right up!!!

What happened Brent?

Driving to work Wednesday morning, took the back roads as the highways are bumper to bumper when we have ice/snow.
Lost control, took the ditch, hit a tree.

Okies are almost as bad as Texans driving on ice.
Edit:
Just got off the phone with the adjuster, total loss.
$34,000 sticker price, after 18 months of ownership and 37K miles, the truck is worth $23,229.90. 32% depreciated.

Not too bad IMHO. Many new cars loose 30% when you leave the dealer's lot.
