[|ANT|]

I own an r33 gtst and a vs toyota lexcen, its pretty much a japanese taxi but i dont carry on and act the fool when i drive. Albeit a pidgeon hole thread.

Well my 2c to add to your stats:

I live across the road from a court and in the last year of living here I have seen ONE 33 p-plater doing a burnout, ONE r31 p plater that does fishtails around the area, whether theres cars coming or not.. (dickhead).. and COUNTLESS commodores doing burnouts at all hours of the night when we need to get up in the morning, racing up the street at 80+ k/hr, driving in the middle of the road around the bends and such things. You know I wouldn't give a rats arse if it was an industrial area but I have a young daughter and a very stupid cat and this is a f'ing residential street and there are a billion industrial and undeveloped estates within 5mins from here.

Also you're not alone at the Brisso raceway, I've watched a few of the drift meets at Calder Park and the biggest wankers there were driving commodores (3 in a row one night), apparently not too worried about smashing into the modified r34's in front of them and just about hitting the wall every turn.

I think the difference in attitude to some degree is that is costs a f'load to fix a skyline, it's more in insurance excess and subsequent reinsuring and if its a cheap part, it's usually hard to come by (do you have any idea how hard it is to even find gazelle parts??), whereas commodores are a dime a dozen so wtf should they care? It used to cost me $340 a year to comp insure my old shitty falcon when I was merely 20. And I used to fly over train tracks and not give a shit about a few scratches on the car from overhanging branches etc etc and now I go about 5k over the tracks and lose it everytime some prick scratches my car at the shops. It's all about respect and pride in your car and the *majority* of commodore owners are just driving one til they can get something else.

Actually ls1.com.au has probably the most mature forum members compared to say nissiansilvia.com where the majority of poster are 16 yo pimply virgins... btw this forum is great, old and young guys post and I see not much flaming, well apart from this thread.

I been driving a Commodore ever since I got my Ps, 25 now. Im not a boga, in been living in Australia for over 13 years now. Currently Im looking at buying an R33 skyline...

There are LOTS of tossers driving imports and the main reason why commodores/falcons get a bad rep is cos hese cars are dirt cheap and can be bought by people on the dole... they dont care about the car so hence they act like wanks. Im yet to see any newish model CLubby or SS doing silly shit...

i think you need to think about what you are saying, there is always going to be wankers out there. i drive a commodore and i agree that a lot of the ones driving ss commodores and hsv's are tools, but i have also seen a lot of people driving skylines, silvias, etc that have been complete idiots too.

i also bet that at some point you have also been a idiot when driving a car, in fact i bet every one here has done something stupid and thought to them self "i won't do that again".

so basicly get a life, and don't worry about some tool, you don't know from a bar of soap.

I was driving along when I noticed a black commodore swerving between lanes in heavy traffic & getting nowhere, tailgating etc.

It's always funny when you see a car in front of you switch lanes to get ahead & then end up behind you where they would've been if they just had a little patience

I was lined up with a commodore at the traffic lights, (I had no intention of dragging him, or anyone for that matter) I was expecting him to launch it as he was doing to other cars before lining up with mine. To my surprise he backed off & drove normally staying a little bit behind my car.

He probably learnt his lesson a long time ago, probably from one of you guys maybe

well... i hate people in general... when im on the road i hate everyone... even pedestrians... to me everyones a wanker... wether its a granny... some old dude... young chicks... young dudes... bogans... people that think there top shit... people that drive shit cars... people that drive new cars...

i drive over 5 hours a day every day... through all kindas of wether and traffic... and i notice that no one gives a shit how they drive... people almost stack into me everyday.. i constantly have to swerve to miss them from cutting me off or swerving into my lane...

i wish i had a ute with a bull bar coz id ram every stooge off the road

ps. i reakon people should get made to do some kinda test every year or the cops should enforce crap drivers and just not dickwangs that do burnouts etc coz think about who has accidents...?? every now and then when people drag... every now and then when people do burnouts... but the most and just shit arse normal people that go threw a light... ram up someones arse coz they daydream, hit and bump and fly into a pole.

what tools

[arbess]

Mate,

It sounds like your driving on the wrong side of the road. =)

Your last paragraph is a good one and it's true. Too many people are not concentrating on the task, having a smoke, mobiles, reading shit etc etc. I could go on and on.

I only have to travel a small distance to work and I hate doing it because I know the main rds I use are shit-house because of the drivers. Too many not caring for a thing around them.

Also, why do dickheads pull up so close behind you that you can see their pimples on their face, YUK! I just dont get it.

Last night, Brisbane, raining. Some wanker in his riced up fullly sick girlie lancer was tailing me on the highway. fk wit.

Anyways

[phunky_monkey]

some people just don't have a clue...

I've owned about 9 cars now, from rx3's, rx7's, 2 180's, audi A4 and I currently have a 180 as my weekender and I've just bought a VX clubsport as a daily driver. So which camp to I fall into??

there's wankers driving all sorts of cars, it's just more pronounced when they have an exhaust and draw your attention to their antics. And for the record, I've done a lot stupider things in my 180 than I'll probably ever do in my clubby...

[JUNR34]

Yeah you can find all sort of tools in any cars I cant even recall how much close calls Ive had. Whats the deal with P plates in riced up lancers, I just dont get it. Its like they think they can take on any cars at the lights and win LOL.
