We can all wish.... but what would it go into? With the Viper gone, there is no direct competition or reason to do so.

This is the best thing I've seen today, and judging from what looks to be a Victoria license plate, this doesn't surprise me, Aussies are the best! They have a true DILLIGAF attitude and aren't afraid of anything, which I think is a byproduct of living in a country where everything is out to kill you! I'm not a big Kia fan, but I would totally drive this van!!!
