Default Hi from Iraq

Hi everyone.
I just thought I would check in and say hi. I have been deployed for over a month now and I just got over my GXP withdraw.
I saw a newer Caprice LTZ in Kuwait and thought I would share pictures with you (even though it is really dirty). I still can't believe GM sells this thing in the Middle East and not the US. It needs to be the next Impala. Take care!
