So the short version is that HSV made a "sports" model by fitting a spare tyre cover. I think Ford did a similar thing with the Territory Turbo.

Oh no wait, they put a turbo on it.

Sorry about the quality, but today we were following this gem.

Fully ***... lowered, big rims, illegal window tint, massive chrome grill...



Possibly the ugliest thing on wheels? Its a box....

Doubt it. Looks to be on a track circuited area therefore the signal wouldn't clear if the points were not all the way over. Could of had a spad and hit catch points though.

Chrome on your chrome so you can be shiny while you're being ugly.








Wing on yo wing so you can get extra down force on the rear wheels... in a front wheel drive. Yeahhhhh bbrroooo.

You'd better tell them what a "spad" is, and yes i'm more inclined to go with your theory.

LOL yeah you forget that people don't understand these things that are just normal words to me.

A SPAD is a signal passed at danger (RED).
In areas with a risk of a head on crash if a train runs a red signal they have these 'points' which basically can be set off to the side while the signal is red and are made to derail the train out of the path of other tracks.
Defeats the purpose since this train is across multiple tracks.

Pretty sure it's a Supra. But then again, why would you do that to a Supra?

How much does it cost to install gas though?

How many K's would you have to drive to be in front???

Probably not worth it for the average driver. If you do a few hundred kms a day it may help.
