Well there's been enough instances where we've discussed the topic of cars in the general social thread so why not have one dedicated to it.
If you've just got a new car, shopping for a new one, broke you current one, dreaming about that exotic sports car, into tuning, want to bitch about n00bs on the road and so on and so forth.

Today I went out and bough some 4000k Philips headlamp bulbs because I wanted that cleaner looking light. I went into Autobarn and grabbed a set of H4's which I assumed that were the correct size because that's what was in my last Commodore, but when we got back and my mate and I started fitting them it turns out Holden has now decided to go to the H11 sized bulb. So I had to do a mad dash back to the shop and do an exchange. Well they are fitted now and I like the look so I'll be going back to get another set of these bulbs for the fog lights.

Too expensive. I can't even get one without an ugly front for <$20k

**** that.

Also looks like shit inside and clearly too small.

I didn't know the VE went back that far, I only really started noticing it last year, then again I only really got into cars last year.
If the VE has been out since 2007 then the VF, or next one whatever they call it should be out soon in coming years.

Already has dude :P how did you not hear this? They have some new touch screen thing and slight restyling but nothing major.

Doesn't need it really, the VE is still a great looking car. At least the SV6 etc are.

Of course I know about the update, its Still a VE though, just the series II, basically the same car, just with the new touchscreen dashboard controls and an ECU tweak to accommodate E85, the engines themselves were already capable being newer gen GM engines, E85 has been in the states for some time now.
(GM V8s still sledgehammers though more power=make bigger [Facepalm])

Wow, you had it real tough. We don't get:
Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Chrysler, Citroen, Dodge, Ferrari, Fiat, Great Wall Motors (deep breath), Jeep, Lotus, Maybach, Mini, Proton, Rolls-Royce and SsangYong.
Aren't Maybach still owned by Mercedes though? So why isn't Maybach coming?
Sooo many not coming [Rage]
