What kills me is that people still think Holden is the one to beat!!! Toyota is killing everyone & Hyundai & Mazda are not far behind!

I come from a family who grew up in Elizabeth, work for GMH and all drive Commodores. I cop it all the time but don't really care. They can drive their commonwhores. I prefer my fords. It won't result in the end of the world. These are just cars.

Hang out with some different people, those people quite clearly are stupid if they measure a car's worth based on a car race where all the cars are basically the same!

I think the general consensus of who cares is right on the money!

"My car is better than your car...ner ner ner ner ner"...Who cares!

If someone wants to pay for my insurance, fuel, rego etc...I will drive whatever car you like and sing it's praises to whomever wants to listen....Unless of course it is a Lada Niva.

My hypocrisy only goes so far!

Been discussed too many times with same result .....

There is bias out there on what ever and you need to move on. There is bias here being a Ford site, there is bias on LS1 ..... if you cannot have a chuckle with it you are taking things way too seriously.

Move on ...................
