Any specifications for that thing? Looks like a HSV front bar, but was it really a HSV to begin with?

Could you please have a little more consideration for other AFF members by focusing on the chick beside it and not cutting off her arm.
:hihi: :hihi: : :voldar02: : :

I think alot of its stupid. Just my opinion. All these people going and buying mega dollar 4wheel drives and stickin em up in the air so they don't handle or corner and putting big noisy tyres on them. It gives me the s##ts, they tailgate ya and think they own the road half the time. Hardly any go off road. For the same money i'd rather an XR8 or GT. There not all that comfy and great to drive either. And if they run into ya your buggered cause they've got bullbars. Also they look like crap most of them, no style or curves. I just suppose theres so many boofhead bogans aorund my area that think there cool in their jacked up 4X4's. Must admit they are good for somethings but why would you drive one to work everyday when you can ride in a nice comfy sedan, that goes a hell of a lot betta and gets betta fuel economy.

Must admit this one looks pretty tuff but. Its just the majority. :

Do we really need two concurrent threads on this bizzare abomination? Would a Mod care to merge the threads?
