Damn, my husband is going to be heartbroken. Did the population wise up while we were gone?

If it could comfort you, Ford and GM-Holden still made RWD cars in Australia

In Canada we couldn't get the Pontiac GTO (current Holden Monaro) thanks to various Canadian safety standards and all. I still dreaming than GM should bring the Holden Commodore (and Ford should bring the Aussie Falcon and ute as well) here and morphed it into a RWD Impala who can give a run for the money to the Honda Accord.
Also, Burger King is named Hungry's Jacks due to another group who already owned the name in Australia, more infos at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_King and speaking of Burger King, who remember the early 1980's Burger King ad:
"Are you Hungry on Burger King Now"?
