This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

Also, I've had na 4's, turbo 6's and turbo 4's, I want to try something different... So want to try daily a v8 to see what all the fuss is about. Can't knock it till you try it, yeah?

Thinking of getting a VE SS or similar as a daily...

Want something that can tow, and then de-rego skyline / drop insurance costs

but then you need a trailer... space + $$$

Pro's: V8 will still get better fuel economy than Evo :P

Con: no longer have back-up DECA/Track car if Skyline cant make it.

could always go Toyota V8. can tow ok, just not same grunt as GM or Ford. Cressida, Crown, Lexus LS/GS: much nicer cars than holden.

Don't wanna spend $30k though, might even be looking at a VZ if I wanna stick to my price range (of not too much outlay after selling the evo). and the VZ makes me cry.

30k? they barely get 20k these days get an 09 FG turbo for that easy

v8s make good daily, dat lowdown

My concern is, if the skyline can't make it BACK from somewhere... trailer = good.

Also making dropping off the skyline to Racepace / Alignments / etc easier since I can just drop it off and drive away without needing a lift to get home again.

E85 + Driving to Winton / Shepparton / PI = $180 on fuel for the day. Would be cheaper driving there (even towing) on 98.

Saving on Skyline Rego costs and Insurance will pay for a good trailer over 2 years.

Saving on Evo Insurance will pay for the difference in price of the Evo -> SSV over 3-4 years.

Gets rid of the boy-racer image that comes with driving the evo / big wing / exhaust (even though its a lot less than the skyline was)

Plenty of undercover space for the trailer / skyline at my sisters new place / farm.

Tow vehicles make complete sense and help with that fear of binning the daily at the track...that alone is worth another 2-3 seconds off the lap times haha

Victoria is a joke for fines...almost everywhere else in the world will pin a few km over with a $50 or less fine and no points.

Everybody everywhere speeds at some point in time; lapse of concentration my ass! Love how he blames it on that whilst his assistant commissioner has a go at everyone else who got caught speeding implying they are intentionally speeding / are content with it being harmless

Earlier this week, Assistant Commissioner (Traffic) Doug Fryer said it was concerning how many people thought it was OK to speed, after 7651 drivers were caught breaking the limit during a holiday road blitz.
