Dude, your forgetting BLUEprint (arguably) the most popular colour for AU3 performance models :P

OP I reckon you should've held out for a tidy Rebel but that Enforcer XR8 looks like a good buy nonetheless.

No I'm not.

Rebels are Series 2 only. Blueprint came out on Series 3 and wasn't a Rebel. Had the Rebel (or Ford Racing) bodykit, but that's it.

Bit of a shame you're a badge snob, Hyundai are now making some good looking cars. Having said that, keep away from the older poorly suspended i45s though.
I said I'd never own a Hyundai and we now have a ix35 in the driveway, awesome diesel SUV.

Also, to the op, I love your XR8 Enforcer.

Yeah fair George. I heaps do want a V8 in a perfect world I'd have both but for now a WRX suite desires more.

Hopefully I'll be about for hospital cruise. I do like The envy

I think gaso was commenting on the fact that generally in a long term committed relationship the 'yours' and 'mine' goes out the window pretty quick and things just become 'ours' and it doesn't really matter because hell, if you're sharing every other aspect of your life and self with someone then surely finances and vehicle ownership is far more down to who happens to have the set of keys rather than who financially 'owns' the car.

everything else is that way but the cars. for some reason both of us have a huge attachment to our cars dont ask why and how but it just is, we still drive each others though lol i think its the absolute last bit we have to being free or non attached so to speak......

i tell her if we split she can have everything but the car lol
she sais the same thing lol

Thats pretty much it. All money into one account. If your gonna share your life, money and material things are part of it. We have a single account. We discuss purchases before hand and if its not a yes from both, then its no to the purchase.
