Haha. Ages ago when outside sizzlers on aerodrome road flooded we took my first car which was a Daewoo Cielo through it. We had water over the bonnet and almost stalled in the deepest section which was about 20cm over my knees. Todays storm was crap but at least the water tank is almost filled again.

The two first mods people do... Exhaust and Pod. I don't want a pod, and chances are they have an exhaust system of pretty crap quality and I'll rip it off and get a new one put on. If they can prove it was a decent quality system then I won't care... I also want the car to be as quiet as possible but still decent airflow. Most people from what I've seen just want it damn loud. Same goes for sound systems. I'd rather nothing in there - saves me the trouble ripping the crap quality stuff out. EDIT: I also know little about engines so this will be a learning curve for me so its not only that its modded or not it is also going to be teaching me.

It has nothing to do with damage. I want to mod the car with what I want - not what they want. Whether or not it has always been stock is irrelevent - it is whether they lie about it and how modified it was.

If I bought a car expecting it to have always been stock and it was simply demodified I would not be happy when I found out and would go to court over it. IF I was told that the car was demodified then I'd still probably get it if it was a good deal, but if you lie about something that simple I have no idea what else you are lying about.

Stock as in never modified for me. No logical reason why.

Why not a touch screen + computer. MP3, Movies, TV, GPS all for under 1500 - cost depends oin how much you wanna spend.

When I buy I'll want completely stock or close to. (Won't be for a while.)

Doubt it. Get some friends out.

I suggest you edit your post. Seriously. Don't even mention that you have a pitbull cross. I love dogs more than I love people and I'd hate to see your dog put down. The gold coast is one of the worst areas for bull breeds currently and one day when you spout off that you own a pitty cross the council will come knocking at your door to put it down you'll have a whinge. It will happen if you so publically announce that you own a restricted breed. Arg.

I'll be getting a Stagea now (Yep, I am sold, coupe is overrated) because I will probably have more than one dog within a year or two and being Huskies they won't be small. They come with me everywhere as I like to go bush walking in the forests and reserves around here and I take him (one right now) with me everywhere and its a bitch getting him in my sisters Lancer. I also go camping alot and I intend to start up sailing again soon and will need the boot space. Plus, its just practical as hell.

No My parents have no problems with us (family) having performance cars. If I got a GTS-T before I was 21 it'd mean I'd need a second car which would be too hard to pay for insurance (one thing parents insist, if they help pay for the car it goes on comprehensive) since I don't get centerlink and have no job Stageas though, will enable me to have one car thus eliminating the need for two sets of rego and insurance (the falco was quoted at 2,500 and the gts-t at 3,200 - stagea quote comes in at 2,500 which is what I pay on the falco) Dogs coming in my car I can't change. You should see the state of my falcon (no laughing).

Yep - heaps more practical since I go camping alot and will have another dog soon. Getting a Husky + 2nd dog into a coupe will be a right pain in the arse. A stagea also means I don't need to wait till I am 21! (Personal reasons) I should have paid more attention when StageaGirl told me to look at them on DOL (I think it was you), but a quick google only found ugly ones. Ones on here are nice.

This thread I think may convert me to the Stagea - more practical with the dogs as well.

Wow, that was a BIG cruise.

I meant the other half of your post

Wishful thinking.

There was something left of the car. It looked nowhere near as bad as the crash a few weeks ago in mountain creek. I'd put it at 120 tops - plus, where he crashed gave him about 100-150m of acceleration space if the newspaper was correct in identifying where he crashed (By the christian center).

They reakon he was doing 100. And Duporth Ave is confusing - it appears to be a 60 zone but it is infact a 50 zone. I used to live on it.

Where did you hear that? Cars formed a gaurd of honour. The cops were present at the funeral, and afaik no one did burnouts.

Ohhh, I know they have a bit but it won't be much at all - in comparison to if they didnt assume the risk. I aint a law student or anything, we just got sued once and used that defence. Worked out well for us, we only paid like 3%

On my sisters car the RACQ man by passed the immobiliser and disconnected the alarm then I drove her car home. Everytime a door opened or closed the indicators and beams would flash for 30 secs though.

I only use Caltex Vortex or 91 (Not in a skyline, waiting till I am 21 now - just a ford falcon) It is only about 7c more than 91 at my station, and nambour generally has the cheapest fuel in the sunshine coast (Normal Unleaded was 100.9c today compared to BP 104.9 AND I have to go out of my way to get to BP).

If you are aware of his drinking then yes. One of the defences of negligence is voluntry assumption of risk. Like I said, I don't know about criminal but in civil entering a car with a drunk driver and you know he is drunk then you won't win. http://sblegal.industry.gov.au/relevantleg...egalissueid=144 I don't let my friends drink and drive. I live about 20 minutes from them up on the edge of the blackall ranges, its a dangerous drive and drunk you'd pretty much be screwed. There is a crash on the road up every few days.

Dynamix: JD wasn't driving. I swear they reported that he was but todays article said he wasn't. Konrad: I don't know. In civil law (negligence) you wouldn't be found guilty as you assumed the risk of getting into a car with a drunk driver. IMO if you get in the car with a drunk driver you are an idiot and the driver shouldn't be responsibility, voluntary assumption of risk. Criminal might be different. f**ks me.

I know he was speeding, just 200kph - can you even get to that speed on karrawatha(SP) drive... It is long but no one would go that quick down it.
