Such beautiful cars going into such rusted ship!

I just noticed that in the third picture the brake pads and discs are covered with something, like white plastic.... Or are those ceramic discs? What is that?

I guess I'm the only one who thinks this car is a disappointment. Then again I love the 4th Gen and look were they ended up.

I'm a little disapointed by the GTO... Just not very muscular looking... something tells me that if it was named anything else besides the GTO people wouldn't be drooling over it..

Or the opposite, if It was the Pontiac Monaro I feel less people would bash it.

Depends on the speed...

With that size of ship, I'm sure it'll do around 10 knots. At that speed, it should be anywhere from a week and a half to two weeks. It also depends if it refuels or unloads anything in Hawaii, which could add up to another 3 days.
