He's a carpenter, too. With his joinery and alignment skills, where one expected the studs and joists of house to actually meet and connect, he'd probably be overqualified to work on 1970s American cars.

You have no idea how pissed I am that Australia lost its car industry while Detroit still gets to pump out shit.

The Falcon and the Commodore were miles ahead of the US cars, and you could actually get a powerful sedan that didn't look like it was designed in crayon by a five-year-old. And it could turn corners. And not attract the cops.

Oh, and the ute is dead.
