1995 Holden Commodore Acclaim (VS)

Believe me, I know the feeling. Just recently I was pulling into a gas station when the back-left wheel came off of the car. Turns out incorrect wheel nuts were used upon fitting. Went for quotes on the damage and the cheapest so far is $2800; which they're paying for.

But the driver seemed to be doing one hell of a job I must say, well done to him.

We were in 3rd place when it happened, by the time we finished repairs we had fallen back to 83rd. And VooDoo is one of our best drivers, he also works for Turn 10 Studios who are the developers of the Forza series, so we've been bugging him to tell his boss the GTP needs to be added to the next game.

I know it's not a "Small Car" so to speak, but compared to the later models in the same range, it is small in comparison. I can still get pictures of it next to a VT if you'd like to see the comparison in the real world :)

Nothing can really out-small a VL (in terms of Commodores) lol.

Wow, you're right - the studs are completely stripped off.

Did it cause much damage to the frame of the car?

The subframe was fine, but the fender got bent out of shape a bit which caused the drivers door to not open all the way or very easily. But that was fixed with just a pry bar and a few minutes.
