Maybe he is just having a midlife crisis and doesn't know what to think anymore.

Saw a Hoda Odyssee with Cat truck mudflaps and bullbar with spot lights on it. That person is more confused then this statesmen driver.

My sister has a "Full time 4WD" badge on her stock FWD 1989 Lancer hatch. It always confuses people and is good for a laugh.

Well the company I worked for was a division of Telstra and the plebs like me all had Acclaims and the State Managers etc had Statesmans.

Tell me about it I am stuck in the same situation, Although the brand sucks, im not complaining about a free car, rego, tyres and esp fuel. !!!!

As for mixing the stickers up between vehicles..... who knows what the results.

On a slightly similar note there is a new toxic XR getting round with the plates "GOTONE" or something like that. evrytime i see it i just think of the hsv slogan "i want one".


or maybe the guy (or girls) name is tony ie GO-TONE

Thats right. I had a nice VL Commodore, but i'd get out of my car at Bathurst for 1000 with Ford gear on from head to toe. People ask me, "Oh, so you like Ford now?". I say no, I always liked Ford, i just dont drive one yet. When it comes to road car, I love both Ford and Holden. I think they both make some great cars, but when it comes to motorsport, im a Ford man TO THE BONE!! :eclipsee_

When I was working for Telstra, we had an option of which car we could chose. Back in 99 the VT SS had come out but not the AU XR8 so I took the VT SS V8 and stuck on the back of it "I'D rather be driving a FORD" Telstra wasn't happy about it, tough. We also changed the little sticker on the back from "Telstra Values Safe Driving" to "Telstra Values Fords" that really ИИИИed them off.
