There are some pretty average looking B-series out there actually, lots of them. Half the time I dont know if they are an XT, XR of FPV of some description because of all the fake kits and badges put on them, together with Altezzas, stripes and big wings....

I guess some people like their cars that way, and its each to their own. But I reckon B-series are the new VN Commodore.

I agree there are some pretty sad examples out there, but the new vl/vn's are vz/vy's, commodores still take the cake for the most cheap body kits,stupid wheels,doof doof sound systems,neons under the car etc and lets hope it stays that way.

I couldn’t have put this better myself. I can’t stand the things. Now does anyone out there actually know the owner of this vehicle?

I’d like to make him an offer.

Hehehehe. I live in Adelaide - the home of the really horrid Commodores!!!

But maybe you havent seen some of the horrid examples of B-series going around either! I would rather spend my cash on making my car go quick/handle well than make it look like the car equivalent of a chic who had spent waaaaayy too much on plastic surgery.

Yeah, elbow or fist?? haha

this is why we need to stop telling holden and rice drivers how sh!!t there rides are, NEVER attempt to show someone how cool fords are/can be, e.g. i changed my misses from a holden girl to a ford girl by simply showing her good examples of fords and pointing out every ecotec POS with rims.

now she has gone and used the same technique on her brother who has gone and brought an au falcon FOR $10,000!! and stuck a small wing, fox stickers (bright green on a blue car) and is gettnig cat back exhaust, and freakin NEONS!!! OF ALL THINGS WHY????

im sorry ford fans, my misses has let us all down :(

its just as bad as non fpv cars with badges and stripe kits on them, so before we bag him out for bad taste we should all look in our own backyards and shame the lot of them, plain jane xr6 with fpv vinyl decals down the side who you trying to kid, mods should be under the skin, not blatant lies or replicas :jab:

Well, I have always been told "if you have nothing good to say about someone, then don't say it".

but when you see a tool like this guy, what are ya suppose to do?!?!

you would have to be a fool if you think thats a good looking car.

I don't care if it's Ford, Holden or even Rice. That thing Sucks!
