    LOL yeah m8 u should have been around in aussie in the 70's and 80's, these panel vans were everywhere, and the custom work on them were fantastic, and i won many trophies for my red van, and for many of my customized interiors, and as i mentioned in our private messages, i just wish i still had all my photos and videos from those 2 decades to show off all my other stuff.

    It's a 2007 Chevy HHR... The same guy that designed the PT Cruiser was the designer of the HHR, they get confused regularly around here. It was only in production from 2006-2011 and I don't think any made it out your way.


    Thanks for the comment!

    Most all the comments were negative about this truck, but I found these two the most ammusing:

    A reply to that question:

    LOL

    BTW, to everyone who has posted thier own personal vehicles, projects, and favorites in this thread, they're all awesome!
    :2thumbsup:

    Anyone here who knows me knows I goof around sometimes with pics and stuff. I hope you understand.

    Monstor trucks are generally douchey, but considering it's doucheyness, that one looks remarkably practical/usable.

    Mine has a 2.4L Ecotec with a 4 speed automatic... Tuned I'm probably getting 185-190 HP. There is an SS version with a turbo 2.0L... some of those guys are pushing 300HP or more... They also buy a lot more tires.

    1970 somthing, around 9AM, still a bit toasted from the night before, driving into the Escanaba Burger Chef for somthing to eat. Sitting in the parking lot was the Weinermobile. Luckily there were a couple of us in the car to verify what we were seeing.

    Not sure what the fuck they thought they where doing, mixing pop-up headlamps with such obvious running lamps.

    It's like a transvestite front end.
