They're pretty unique. I'd probably never buy one. A lot of other vehicles I'd get before an SSR. But if I did, it would be yellow

I would.

There's a used car lot near by that has one. Yellow with custom painted orange flame job on the front. Would love to buy it. But can't afford to spend that kind of cash on a novelty.

As much as I like the idea of a modern art-deco styled truck, I would have to pass.

The reason I would pass would be that the holden ute is my guilty pleasure. As for a domestic (and more realisitc) alternative, I would rather have an SS Silverado. The styling on those trucks is great, and they made 933 Intimidator editions in 2006, so there's a bit of a rarity aspect.

Sure I would own one. I would park it with all of these other modern old looking cars.

The looks of a pick up without the practicality... too expensive and prestigious to juts be throwing stuff in the back.

If you can't decide between a sports car and a pick up truck, i don't really know what to say about you.

Hi Mr `Monte,
Yes, I'd own one `if I got a super deal on one. I think they would make a great Surf'in Ride 4 boards. I do like `rides that are different then the rest. There's a all Black one I've seen in my area that has a super sound'in exhaust & nice rim's/dark tint...I don't know what they are selling for, but they are different 4-Sure...

p.s. I also like the 3 that `Lou posted.., because they are different then the rest & they would be fun 2 mod/drive.

It would make a good board carrier. That reminded me of this overhauling el camino built for a surfer kid.

I've always liked the SSR, I'd take one. I found this ASC SSR Diamondback that I actually really like the look of. The color looks nice, the two-tone looks good and works well with the body line it uses, and the wheels are a great choice. If I had to choose a factory color it would be yellow, black, or silver (probably black though), and I'd have to lower it a bit. My engine choice would be the 6.0L LS2. The SSR's sound mean, especially with the right exhaust.
