I give up, what is it?

A Holden of some sort, I think

Holden Ute

Reminds me of the Subaru BRAT from the late 70s early 80s

I've seen this driving around my neighbourhood a few times, was finally able to get a couple of pics while walking past with my dogs. I love this colour, great stance too.

I also saw one of the new houses has an R35 GT-R hidden in the garage, I couldn't get a shot of that one.

It's a 2011 Holden SS Ute, 6.0 V8 in Poison Ivy, a factory colour. Not sure if it's manual or auto. Suspension and wheels are aftermarket, and from the noise it makes I suspect the exhaust is as well. The taillights look aftermarket, the hard lid and sports bar may be factory, but I don't know for sure, there's a lot of aftermarket kits available as well, it completely compromises its load carrying ability, but I don't think that's what this thing is about. I'd be afraid to park this anywhere other than at home, to many A-holes and idiots out there.

I wouldn't go that far, we did have some cool things you didn't get, but they stopped making them. There's a lot more cool stuff over there we either can't get, or, it's really expensive if it does make it here.

Well...here's 2 that you didn't get that we did. I had one back from 1995-2000, an 87' Grand National (not mine in the pic) The 2nd pic is the GNX, one of 547 built.

I was fully aware of the GNX back in the early 90s. The company I worked for back then got acquired by a large US company, they sent a new guy out to run the company, and his son worked with us in the warehouse for a few years, we became good friends. The GNX was one of his favourite cars. He always complained about the gold Trans Am with the turbo V8 he had to sell when he came out here, from memory it looked like the one below.

While you were driving your Grand National, I had my 91 Holden Commodore, with the 3.8 V6 that was based on the Buick motor. This was also an ex-police car, a detective vehicle this one, not many of the good features like my ex-HWP car that I had after, but it did have the larger fuel tank, 90L, or almost 24 gallon in your terms. You can see it hanging down behind the back axle. The colour was called sapphire blue, it was horrible, the worst paint I've ever had on any of my vehicles.

I don't believe gold was offered on the turbo T/A, the one you posted is a 79' T/A w/WS6 option. The one I posted is the 1980-81 Turbo T/A. You can see the hood is different and it says 4.9 TURBO, plus those STUNNING road wheels! The 4.9L turbo made a whole 200 hp, used a 4 barrel carb and NO intercooler, eeeek!
