    Spike got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in NASCAR news   
    That car is actually a Holden Caprice, long wheel base version of the Commodore/G8. GM imported them as Chevy Caprice's for police departments from 2011-17. Police departments could order 9C1 or 9C3 packages, 9C3 was the detective package with cloth or leather seats instead of plastic rear seat. They came with either the 3.6L V6 or 6.0L V8. The V8 Caprice was the only vehicle to pass all the CHP speed and handling testing. So if you ever find a 9C3 spec Caprice at a police auto auction buy it.

    I saw Gordon a while back on you Tube and he was disguised with a hat, moustache etc. and test drove a car with the salesman inside.  Gordon was driving wild and the salesman , not knowing it was him, was yelling, " Stop this car, let me out of here! You're going to pay for this car!" Then when they got back to the dealership he jumped out and everybody was laughing and then he saw Gordon peel off his moustache and he saw who it was! LOL!

    I would've thought that anyone who had it taped would avoid a thread called "NASCAR News" until they'd watched it. I don't have the pay channel that shows F1 races live, so I watch the highlights a few hours later and make sure that I don't listen to the news or look at any sports websites until I know the result.

    They don't, it's a 2009 model year. Only 35k miles though and it still had the new car smell. I cringed when my mechanic said what Pontiac used to stand for lol.

    Did Toyota buy Fox Sports, seems like they've been mentioning Toyota almost every other minute. Wish there was a local MRN station so I could just mute these clowns and listen to some decent play by play.

    Cup race looks like it's going to go on as scheduled today but Xfinity race has been postponed once again to 9pm after the jet dryers crashed while drying the track off before the race. I get the feeling this is going to be a long NASCAR season of goof ups.

    The Pontiac G8 is a rebadged Holden Commodore (still looks like a great car). BTW. Spike, why do college girls drink gas on spring break?

    Enjoy this season as it will probably be the last that has an actual car body. There won't be a Camaro for 2025 and GM as well as Ford want to race "CUV's because that's what they mostly make anymore. 
  19. Wow

    Funeral was yesterday and just wrapping up some loose ends and recuperating today. It's been a whirlwind.

    Spike reacted to RogerDuke in Tragedy in my life   
    It's 3:20 AM as I type this. No sleep for me tonight. My only child was killed in a car accident just a few hours ago. This is truly the worst thing that has ever happened to me. She had just bought her first house and had only lived in it a week. She was only a few hundred feet from pulling in the driveway when a young man in a pick up truck came racing from the other direction passing 2 cars in a no passing zone and hit her head on. He wasnt hurt bad and got out of the truck before it exploded. She wasn't killed instantly but died before right after the ambulance arrived. My life has been turned upside down. 
  24. Care

    I saw something cool on the local news today. They showed a semi sitting at a red light in a small town near me and there was a huge orange Dukes 01 that took up most of the back doors. Somebody is a big fan!
