Chev badge just kicked in yo! Ahaha, god I laugh so much when I see "Sick" commos driving around. It never gets old!

This is a person I have on Facebook's old Commo wagon, typical clear taillights, dump tip and not professionally lowered, literally just most of the rear springs cut out:

This "XA" may have had a front end conversion... But if not Just Cars FAIL!

The doors are not XA either. Can clearly see XB door handles (which don't fit on XA doors).

I'm amazed pics of cars with those wheels keep popping up, who the **** is buying them? They are without a doubt the most disgusting style of wheel that I've ever laid eyes on.
