Default Cars your sick of seeing.

Its not a bashing thread for other 'brands' of cars, just cars you hate for specific reasons.

First off its these lowlux bloody things. Theyre the most pointless use of a ute i have ever seen, and i think they look ridiculous. I even seen one with the number plate going diagonally on the back, cut to fit.


2nd of all is commodore VL's. Every new L/P plater has one, whacks some mags on it and thinks its the best thing in the world. I have 3 of them in my street, they give me the ИИИИs.


Anything in particular you dont like?

Any type of commodore with a young ******** behind the wheel that thinks he has a race car because he's got 17 inch wheels and a monster tacho..!!

An ricer. Commodores that are driving by a fool, and even Fords for that matter. Any car with a driver that does not know how to drive.

As for the lowrider mini trucks I think they look great.

Probably just due high fleet sales, Auto NA XR6's have the best resale out of the entire range. Now in BF models, the NA 6sp XR6 models have the best resale so you'll find stacks of these out there now.

Or maybe just a lot of people like them :the_finge :

I like them,but I'm at the point where I'd rather a ghia (or my suby)in 6cly form,to stand out from the xr6 crowd.
Obvously a good car because every second car seems to be one :P

I think I’ll put my flame suit on now. :jab:

by the way that's a mate he just found it hilarious. the exhaust could trap dogs if they dared to crawl into it, the bonnet looked like plastic and had ripples all through it and the number plate was bent at each end to fit into the surround
