Well, i guess it's one of those things, if ya luv ur car, you just pay up if it's broke.
Hoping mine goes OK for a while - but coz its my first Holden I'm not sure what usually goes wrong.
FYI - I have come across from a 1983 240GL Volvo which I actually LOVED!!! - could drive however i wanted, crazy like, and it was expected. Could reverse down one way streets, do illegal U-Turns, in fact, as soon as I put my indicator on people would literally make room for me!!! But never have a been so abused - people would sometime just open their window and hurl abuse for the fun. like, where's ur F&*kin hat Volvo driver?
Quite funny really.
I think I've gained a bit of street cred in my new car. Got interceptoir rims, and a bunch of young blokes were looking at my car the other night at the lights and were duckin' down in the back seat etc. I was in a suit then I realised they recognised the rims - must have thought I was an undercover cop! Funny.
