Title: Required Automobile

You can't call yourself a true fan unless you drive a Holden VC Commodore.

Manufactured in Australia around the height of CBM's popularity (mid-early 1980s).  I imagine Lance drives one :)

Isn't the universe great?  After researching correct spelling of Lithuania on Wikipedia, I hit "Random Article" and got the closely related article Holden VH Commodore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_VH_Commodore)

Not bloody likely! There is a polarity here - you're either a Holden or a Ford man - and I'm the latter! I'm on my fifth Falcon and that ain't gonna change!

IMHO all Commodore drivers should be deported to Lithuania - they are welcome to 'em (and they can take their cars with 'em too!)

That goes to show you can't rely on my imagination where reality is concerned.

I don't know if it would be more expensive to ship one of those cars to Lithuania or the USA, but imagine (danger!) the cost would be more than the value of the car... I could not look-up a price on Kelly Blue Book because the model year is before 1990...

But if you're a true Commodore fan, I guess it would be priceless.

I remember when the Ford Falcon looked like a four-wheeled shoe box and had a 144 cubic inch (2.36 litre) six-banger that produced slightly more power than a riding lawn mower.  It did get good gas mileage though.  :)

I don't think Lithuanian roads have that much traffic capacity.

Likewise, you can't call yourself a true fan unless you have stayed at a Commodore Hotel?  ;)

          O.K., I've been in front of the Commodore Hotel
          in San Francisco, but I've never stayed there,
