I think it's an Explorer judging by the glasshouse


That's why I absolutely despise those little fluffy dogs. All they do is yap and lay turds, they serve no purpose whatsoever.

Yeah it sort of looks like an Excalade, I don't mind them.

Thankfully no one was injured, and a few local repair shops stand to make some coin

That's huge! Surely some fool recorded it on their iPhone.....

What a waste - the torana looks like it had time and coin spent on it, and the GTS would have been a decent car too. Still, I hope the drivers are OK, and more importantly no bystanders were injured. Keep that **** on the track!
