Camrys particularly the ones driven by dozies who drift down the outside lane 20 kmh below the speed limit oblivious to everything that goes on around them.

The Tarago that makes the terrible whistling sound going up the hill outside my place every day (what the hell is that noise from?).

I actually once saw a Camira with a body kit with big mags and tyres on the front, and stockies on the back.

I laughed my *** off.

Heres a winge session an a half.....
Cruddy xf's and ea's, these are mums and dads fowlcoons. Morons in Vn onwards commonodores who like to drift out of control in the wet (seen 3 seperate incidences of this yesterday, all young blokes in commonodores) People who slam their utes onto the ground with massive dia wheels, and try to use em for everyday use, IMO if u wanna do a bit to a ute, keep it useable (I have a Rodeo ute as my work hack, with 16in wheels, is lowered, but I can still put a tun of concrete in the back, or cut the trees and chuck it in the back and also still use it as it was intended, or put the tonneau on and have it look still ok) definantly a lot of daewoos (poofters cars) and hyaun-'should'-dies with stupid kits and pipes on em here on the Goldie. Sick to death of skylines and wrx's here, as the drivers all think they are either Jim Richards, or Colin McCrae. Thankfully Vl's arent as bad here these days, its vn's. Those poxy morono look a like aleetza lights on any car at all.....Jerries on the road that shouldnt ever be, the FILTH!!!, specially the flash for cash specials.....And riced up GEMINIES.......

That'll do 4 now...

I'm sure it's been said before in the last 7 pages, but i'll say it again, any car with an exhaust tip you could fit ya head into really annoys me. Even more so when you can see that theres a four inch pipe heading back towards what is most likely a stock manifold on whatever poxy 4 cylinder rice burner is "powering" the heap of shopping list bedecked (good one MADNC8) plastic on 18 inch chromies at as great a pace it can muster towards the nearest ricerbarn coz the driver has just contracted a serious case of spoiler envy.

Seriously, If my old XE with more than twice the displacement of the average ricer could breathe quite nicely through a 2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust (never bothered measuring actually) then your stock lancer is unlikely to benefit from such a massive pipe. I should probably get round to talking to one of these freaks one of these days to find out exactly why, but I suspect such a conversation would end in violence of some form.

Just to repeat what everyone else has said. Lancers i bloody hate those cars. stock engine with altezzas lowered crommies fullysik 4" exhaust hotdog grumble cannon automatic transmissioned pieces of ИИИИ!

Also any car with a loud exhaust and an bog stock engine with bog stock auto trans with bog stock stall converter sounds crap.

And nismo stickers ИИИИ me too. My friend owns an automatic silvia, i almost therw up when i first saw it.

Even better is NISMO on non nissans, I don't recall seeing it in person, but there are photos floating around of integras and the like with bloody great NISMO badging. Now there's an automotive faux pas. e

As for the charade, sick of em. Anyone on here who isn't? If so, you're a communist.

Ahhhh the old averageprostitute dragmatch, look at it this way, if they manage to wipe each other out in the process it's like a natural selection doublewhammy yeah? Been running into a few boyracer types since I've gotten the VN, only one of them was in a holden though pretty weird stuff as well, wanted a drag in the middle of civic across an intersection with a merge back to one lane straight after it. Ummmm riiiiiight, even if the place wasn't

a) Packed with pedestrians and fellow motorists
b) A 60 zone
c) Within line of sight of the local copshop

Commo/stato sandwhich just aint my flavour so I let that one slide. :voldar02:

some of the most fun ive had with my pants on is rollin up beside a ricer and then revving the engine "wanting" to race. the ricer would respond then the second the lights change they would take off and i would roll on up to the next set of lights and there he would be just sittin there. i rock up laugh my @$$ off cause he has burnt fuel for no reason except to drag off a.......MINI MOKE!!!

cheers guys

just my opinion here, but minitruckers are fasion victims.

Take for example, your average 2wd toyota hilux. These cars do NOT handle well, or drive fast in standard format. If you dump them and put a stupid exhaust on them they may drive a little faster and handle a little better, but they are still not going to be better then say, a falcon ute.

Plus, when you do this to your average hilux, you lessen its load capacity, thus ruining the practical side to owning a hilux over say, a falcon ute.

Pretty clever really.

So if you want a fast, cool looking ute.... why not buy the damn falcon?? :

I was stopped next to a local minitrucker a while back at a set of lights, and i asked him "whats the point?" He couldn't tell me. Can you?

They just do it for cosmetical purposes and nothing else, which is fine with me but I personally dont see the point either.

Its like those guys who build up massive car sound systems in stock cars to enter in DB drags and sound offs, I just dont see any point what so ever.

Each to their own I suppose.

Since I normally drive in the very early hours of the morning when it's still dark, about the only cars I'm sick of seeing are the ones who insist on using fog lights with headlights or parking lights with fog lights. Especially the after market 100+ watt versions on some ricers.

I've just come back from Asia and noticed people are much more relaxed on the roads. I'm sick of seeing people in cars that are way too aggressive and can't tolerate people making mistakes. I’ve driven in the U.S and it is much better than Australia. There are allot of people who need to grow up.

Is it China where everyone beeps their horns all the time? I think Holden had to fit special heavy duty horns to their Statesmans to be exported to China.

If everyone grew up then I'd miss the frequent game of boxing in the pesky tailgater.

Why not do what I'm doing with my stockies - stripping the ugly black paint and polishing them up - looks pretty neat.

Cars with stockie on the back are cop magnets.

I just wanna wind down my window and say "mate it aint half obvious you've been doing burnouts"

BA XR6's and XR8's with GT stripes and/or bulge stickers.

if you want the stripes, buy the car that they are meant for...

that reminds me, saw a BF XR6 in Bionic Blue last week with BA MkI fake GT stripes. even worse than BA's with BA GT stripes, because they were on the wrong model as well!!
Also saw a yellow GTO Monaro a few months ago with BA MkII GT stripes... wrong make AND model!!
