haha, i knew u would ask
the calais i gave to my bf because i didnt have the heart to sell it.
always had a soft spot for vls and then when i had money, it just popped up and it was my first car (apart from the hunk vl exec paddock drifter LOL.)
anywho, got big plans for it and were gonna re-spray it soon. when the bf gets a work ute, we will un-reg it and tuff it up always wanted a wicked show car towed by a wicked daily haha.
i figured, i bought it for $2,000 2 years ago, its no loss in money just keeping it. couldnt make much off it i dnt rekn. plus its my baby
ohh and the other car is the vl exec. it died after numerous thrashings, and became a parts donor. but didnt realise it was easily fixed until cut though radiator hoses and F'ed **** up. haha. ohhhh well. the engine is aiight. tempted to sent it away and get it slowly worked on as i can afford it and when the calais is ready, transplant
wow im doomed. cars are SUCH a money pit lmao.

 

[Nackerz]

yeah not enough money is the one that hits me too lol
