You could like... get another Subaru? But honestly a Commodore is a pretty smart decision lol. I assume there isn't much choice up there?

[Ren-dog]

I have been throwing up all the options in the last few days. Researching everything i can about maintenance and repairs of subaru vs commodore.

Came to the conclusion that if i can sell the lib to some poor then i will buy a commo.

2002 VX II S, 5sp manual, is what i got my eye on.

You guys are just to awesome.

sheltered life in Charter Towers I see...

[Ren-dog]

Well its hang around here or actually work at work... HAHAHAHA

[Richo]

oh and as for towing, I moved house using one of these and a 7x5 caged trailer that almost weighed the same as the car haha



Max power: 67.00 PS (49 kW or 66 HP) at 5800 Rev. per min. Max torque:
107.00 Nm (10.9 kgf-m or 78.9 ft.lbs) at 4000 Rev. per min.




It didn't really rev past 4k...

so towing a small car will be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.. as long as it legal

[Ren-dog]

Hahaha, i bet that was fun to tow with!


This is the car in question. Will have to look around in townsville some time, see if there is something similar closer.

But imagine it with black monaro tail and head lights, and paint the wheels black as well... Beef?

$10k?

Dreamin'.

Wouldn't pay more than 8, i'd start bargaining at 7.

Buy one of these...

[Richo]

well on the last day it started to rain and when braking, the trailer pushed the car.... so no, not really.

That was my intention. My mate just got a VY II S for $8500, was going to use that, haha.

I should buy that, it would pull chicks right? the good looking ones?
(Note VX is the last model of commodore i can actually fit in, in VY onward the clutch is to far away for my bad leg to push.)

E: it im off to bed.

[Richo]

lol to both of those

[B4TT]

Just putting it out there... The replacement car im looking at is a Commonwhore... Basically, cheaper maintenance and repair. VX tho so not bogan spec, and i can nick parts from the parents car.

For opens i will still want a Rexy.

Nothing wrong with that if it does the job for you Rendoggydog.

[ADZY7]

GT towing a race boat. I wouldn't recommend it.

[RX25SE]

Hahaha! as if join a commodore forum, full of bogans and trash heads.

Yup, full of tools.

I'm looking at towing a car with my 2.5 Gen 4.. I don't think it'll go well at all.

Auto or manual?
