Holden: The Car Of Choice For Hoons

[MK2]

Doesn't surprise me that at some point the advertising of how much 'power' Holden's make (theoretically or actually!) would have sunk in at some level to the soft, mushy, malleable minds of the average citizen, in so much as the same masses think Camry's are good cars because Toyota make them. Difference being between a Camry owner and a Commodore owner is that one deprives some form of sick pleasure in maintaining the potential for their vehicle being able to drag 2.5kids, spouse and 35ft caravan or boat for hundreds of kilometres, choking up the right lane of some highway for hours on end.

(If there is a hell, I'm sure that this is probably mine)

The vast majority of Holden owners aren't a problem and never given me any more grief than anyone else, but they have sold an awful lot of Commo's over the years I've owned a couple myself, admittedly I'd never own them again because they're mostly fucking awful!

And naturally, even a small percentage from a large amount of people translates into a huge amount of wankers.

i guess that different manufacturers are popular for different suburbs. Blacktown area its definately wankers in POS commodores. You know the type, usually wearing the HRT Cap, HRT Polo shirt with the collar up ( WTF is it with that ? ) And I am guessing matching HRT G string as well... Of course gotta have the HRT sticker on the window, Anyhow wanker Commo driver is at the lights in his full retard outfit ( see above ) As I was coasting toward the lights I could see they were changing so rather than stop I coasted to the lights and flew through as they went green... Well Wanka Commo driver in his 6 litre 285 kw HSV must have got really pissed by this. Because he must have wheelspun the whole intersection,Shifted at rev limit, Chirped 2nd hard just so he could beat me.... Like i was really trying to race him...FFS I could get out and run faster than that pulsar

lol i used to be a commo driver and believe me it is the people not the car.. i had the bogan wanks trying to stir me up all the time.. its cause the POS cheap commos are just wasters to them.. all this hype they carry on about beleiving their cars are the most superior.. they are losers with small penises that need to comensate

I have to agree with the Commodore thing haha. I would have thought it would be more like 70% of hoons are commodore drivers. I rarely see an import hooning and when I do they probably previously owned a commodore and their car has bad offset, bad wheels and is not a nice car at all

There is definitely a link between car make and behaviour.

Whether it's because a certain car provides a lot of power for cheap so P-platers can afford and maintain them or whether it be the fact that some car enthusiast communities promote more responsible driving than others, just have a look at the difference between nissansilvia.com and skylinesaustralia.com members, the link is there. DISCLAIMER: I am not saying one community is better than the other, or is more responsible, but the two communities have completely different values.

There is also a difference in the drivers of each make. In some people's industries it is much more acceptable to rock up to work sideways, yet in other industries people would call you a d1ckhead for drifting into the carpark. One industry might lend itself to Holden's and Ford's due to seating capacity and load capacity and some industries won't have that requirement.

No one said that there isn't an understandable reason why Holden's are the most popular hoon car.

The point is that FOR WHATEVER reason they are APPARENTLY but statistically the most popular hoon car.

I don't hate commodore's I used to drive a fairly worked VL myself but to say there is no correlation is cr@p. It's all in the statistics and yes, us Nissan drivers are considered to be one of the worst.

hi I'm Ric and i used to own a commonwhore. (There i said it, what a relief)

case in point, the other day i was at the carwash, drying off my r33 next to another P-plater in a red vs commy. this thing was DUMPED, on stock hubcaps and the paint was mint, must have been resprayed. anyway as i had a bit of a soft spot for old commodores, i had a bit of a glance or two at his car. then when the guy left, i put my head down and kept drying my car, he then proceeds to exit the carwash sideways, looking over at me for some form of recognition. i just turned my head in shame at this knob, getting sideways with incomin

IMO i think it's true that most hoon drivers have commodores, irrespective of the proportion of p-platers that have them etc. those few people who drive commodores sensibly can bitch and moan all they like about being unfairly targeted, but at the end of the day the stats don't lie.

its simple really... its the exquisite suspension setup of the v6 commodore...

Surprisingly most of the Commo hoons out blacktown way that I have encountered are not P platers.. Usually its the guy in his mid 30s-40 going through a major mid life crisis. And this is his fix dragging off guys like me in my wifes auto 1.6 N13 pulsar....
