Sounds like another car maker here, but the **** was global. Who can remember the 90 Dodge Monoco?

I had to look it up, I didn't realize the Monaco name was used in the 90s. That has to be an extremely rare car. Wow

The 2006 and up four door chargers should be the new Monaco

RH drive is some lame bullshit and should be phased out and the world should be standardized to LH drive. Who the hell shifts a manual transmission with your left hand other than ned Flanders.
 
GM must stand for global morons. Weren't the last Pontiac GTOs built on a Holden platform? Never owned a Pontiac but a car with a Corvette LS and a 6 speed stick should have sold well.

Imagine how hard it is to change a country of people from being backwards!
(This statement will probably be abused)
 
“Do they got?” LMAO....

Yes, there in the metric system.

A 1/4 pounder is from McDonalds for them IF McDonalds is there.
 
driving from France into Spain the road crosses itself so your directions are now opposite (error, wrong countries!) I took a wide left and ended up into oncoming traffic (in Bahamas)! Bahamas is the same left street drive, left wheel.

i think you completely missed what i think grey mouse put down
the poor grammar is thanks to Quinton Tarantino
if you want to find the source do a quick search for "pulp fiction royale with cheese" on youtube

(id post it here, but as with most of what mr Tarantino produces, the language is of the level of a 12 year old trying to impress snoop droopy drawers )

Sold so well, they stopped selling it... Who cares about the power plant if it doesn't a resemble a GTO, I'm sure many folks thought.

Besides, Mary Barra CEO of GM has already made it clear; the path of electric vehicles for GM. Anyone see the new Hummer?

I have a friend in Oz that I talk to several times a month. He works in the auto replacement parts business. He told me over six months ago that all auto manufacturing was closing in Australia and all new cars will be imported.

Yes, McDonalds is throughout Australia, but their prices are much higher than here according to my friend.
During his last visit in the US, he saw "filet of fish Friday" specials for $2.00 and wanted to fill up a suitcase and take back with him. LOL
I don't know if they have a 'roo burger on the menu.

My friends fast attack submarine pulled into North Africa once and they stocked up in camel burgers.

Can you imagine HAVing to eat exotic food that isn’t appealing. The short subs don’t have extra room for snacks. Could you imagine pulling into India with CURRY supersaturated into all your food!?


We had guys come back from deployment losing 60-70 pounds because they couldn’t/wouldn’t eat what was provided.
(Legitimately potentially poisonous){ gotta love socialism!}
 
@diymirage



My bad, I don't know where that happened then (was Bahamas) . Must have been those Moroccan cigs we were smokin' that we bought off Omar in the back of the pool hall...:D
Bahamas is all F'd up: Steering wheel on left but they drive on the left! WTH? Makes for some interesting pulling out of a parallel parking spot onto a main drag.

<<<P.S>>>> Driving from Hong Kong into (almost into) mainland China changes driving directions and I think my host showed me the stretch of road that had the change over ramps. Its mostly trucks as private cars in Hong Kong are pretty rare unless you got Mega Wan (my host was loaded!) This was back in '92 so it may have changed over by now.

Wow u guys...
Ok we don't have roo burgers at maccas...

Ok it's very easy to drive stick shift with your left hand...

Just as easy when drive stick with you're right hand when I'm over in the USA...

The best part is what happens to tourists here when the venture too close to the beaches or rivers or go into the out back.....


Keeps our funeral directors busy.......

Those people that obeyed the turn-in DON’T have guns...

Sounds like you need to arm your self with snake slingers and deadly spider slings, maybe some Komodo dragons in a harness on a chain.

A few red recluses would ruin someone’s day , or that new deadly Brazilian spider...
