GOLD CAR


Finally, our fellow Canadian auto enthusiasts got something that draws my attention. Browsing at autoblog.com, I found this recent post that talk about a weird Canadian-made vehicle that was unveiled at the 2007 Montreal International Auto Show. The weird car (or motorcycle.. or whatever type of vehicle you call it) was named T-Rex, (although ironically it doesn’t feature an aggressive and intimidating look as its dinosaur counterpart) was already out in the market since 1996 and the Canadian automaker revamped the vehicle for the 2007 model year.

The T-Rex will roar on the streets featuring new lights, new instrument gauges, and covered engine along with optional equipments including carbon-fiber body-kits, wind deflector, and larger outboard storage bins.

Check out the detailed specs of the T-Rex. You can also try to look for Extang RT Cover online for replacement.
