Cars Story:
My parents bought the car in november 1995 new as an ex demo. It came from the dealership with power windows and lowered suspension. It was the family car until 2007 when mum upgraded to a VZ, the dealership only offered us a minimal amount as a trade in so it became dads daily driver releasing his Kingswood from daily duties. Over the years it transported the family on various trips away and also towing the family boat occasionally. In early 2011 dad upgraded to a VE and the VS was passed onto me because my parents knew it would get looked after and wouldnt get trashed. Basically since I got the car I have cleaned it up, changed the stereo and speakers and put the wheels on.
