Not sure what's worse, that wing or the spotlight with the exposed wiring next to the towbar.

It's sad that they modeled their 05 tribute wing on the Ford design...

I think the joke in bad taste about under steering in to a tree deserves a place here as an epic fail.

Not cool.

They had an xr6t.... "fully sick turbo"

Shows the mind set of the average commodore driver

But there's a difference between having a laugh and disrespecting the dead.

When you bite the dust, we'll have a laugh about it hey, mock how you died. I'm sure your family will love that.

I was in no way disrespecting the dead with my comment, and I sincerely apologise if I did offend anyone with my comment about understeer.
I was only jokingly commenting on how there'd be so much rear downforce they would have a tonne of understeer and probably crash, and I didn't knowingly mean to mock anyone that had died.
so once again sorry and here's another fail as my redemption :

That bright yellow thing up the page, please please tell me that's not a genuine UR Quattro under all that garbage. Please let it be only a Coupe GT and not a Quattro.

Gene Hunt would be on the warpath if he saw that!
