I cant believe I just got called an idiot by a 4X4 driver :P hahahahaha. But seriously, theres no need for that this is a thread about venting anger about scewed drivers. I'm not going to calm down and then write something you knob because thats not what this is about. why bother defend yourself, You may be a good driver, but that doesnt account for every other a**hole driving a 4x4. If I was in taz and saw you drive past me maybe I mite give you the thumbs up .... W@NK3R.

flowers are pretty dnt you know haha. nah they used to look ok on some cars but they are just everywhere at the moment, just another stupid girly trend... still not as bad as playboy... also i dnt understand the jetpilot stickers whats it sposed to mean? I only have 2 stickes on my car (front and back windows) but thats only coz i liked the writing :P and i have seat covers that i got for my 17th that have a cat on them and they say vavoom, but thats only to stop my clothes from getting dirty and snaged on the huge rip on the side on my seat. I really want a car that i can do up that looks hot and not girly, because im so sick of seeing pink and love hearts on chicks cars. (ima bit off topic but oh well)

At least all you have to put up with is the photos of them! Imagine peak hour, 25 mins @ 15kph, stuck behind one of these sticker bearing cars, only to be cut off by anothe3r one!!! Argh!!!

Lifes too short to waste bitching about other ****e drivers! And as for this whole 4wd debacle of a debate/flame fest, peeps!! get over it. Superduki: you obviously go off road, so u have a legit reason for owning that monster u got picks up of. Admit that 90% of City dwellers whom drive Landcruisers/Landrovers/Muranos/X-trails/Klugers/etc/etc/etc and will never EVER EVER leave the black top have not one legit reason for owning them and end this little infight. Please no direct insults. Everybody put a frangipani sticker on your car and love one another. Now!!!

Rodhog: it takes me longer to read your post then the rest of this thread combined. Engrish prease, man!

I'm done with this rant for this night. Off to ride my Motorbike, on which i sh!t my pants at every Bus, truck, 4wd, car and even pedestrian that happen to cross my path. No replacement for the Adrenelin rush thought. Night.

When did i say i was a good driver? as for calling me a wanker? what do you drive? not even a mazda!

Can you get over all this and just complain elsewhere about something important, not just at the point that you drive a commodore and dont like big bad ugly 4wd's?

Get rid of the frangipani stickers they are ghey!

My 2c worth now lets move on. Superduki.

i just got home after watching something very satisfying

we have these stupid shicain things near my place. traffic calming apparently, but they piss everyone off (i never saw any hoons before they went in either). so anyway you can do up to around 55kph through the wide ones, they're one lane so you have to wait for the other car if they get there first. i'm coming back from lunch and a monaro is blasting through them coming my way. this dude is a real pushy bastard, i've run into him before, so i stopped and waited for him. anyway he went through the one in front of me doing 60+ and lost it at the next one.

he must have put his foot down to power through it, realized hes going way too fast and hit the brakes hard and locked up cause i heard the engine gun then brakes squeal before the bang. i saw him hit it going sideways in my rear mirror, lucky there was a tree there otherwise he would probably have rolled. End result is i see this black monaro get wiped out big time. he'd need new doors/back seat rims three-quarter panel, front guard, probably destroyed the suspension too (thats if its not a complete write off, it looked pretty munched up), best bit... he got out and started crying.

i didn't hang around long, there were some ppl that lived there so i left them to deal with it. he deserved it, such a bastard, he almost hit mum head-on doing the same thing a week ago and he's always speeding around at like 60-70 through the streets and kids play in these streets all the time

and the moral kiddings? assholes get whats coming to them

Hahaha, "Started crying."

Yeah, ruining their car and surviving is the best way these guys learn. Hopefully he'll have some more brains next time.

My mate had his 84' Camira defected the other day (For bald as f*@% tyres, broken lights, brakes etc etc typical dunga-mobile). Sucks for him, but it was re-assuring for me to see that it's not just imports and tuners that they defect, like it seems to be.

Seen a bunch of the typical dodgey TAXI driving recently, nothings changed there...

yeah i know a couple of guys my age that have written their cars off. i can see how much off a difference it made to their driving. they are more cautious, speed less. this dude wasn't even a young bloke, would have been early-mid thirties.

taxis are bad, nuts, insane. maybe its cause half of them are bright orange and i notice them but they always seem to be doing dumb things

I dunno bout that. I agree that not all do, but even still, I wouldn't wish injury upon someone, regardless of how bad their driving is. I think those kind of people, who will write off a Monaro, GTR, whatever their pride and joy might be, then get straight behind the wheel to repeat - are beyond being taught a lesson, injury or no injury. I was a passenger in a 95' Supra TT that hit a stobie pole when the driver drove way above his skill level and that taught me a valuable lesson, and I didn't have to sacrifice my health, or car, to be taught it. Lucky and unlucky in a sense, I s'pose.

I know what you mean though... it can just solidify the feelings of invincibility in some peoples minds if they can slam their car into a stobie pole at 80kmph and walk away.

Bourbs when i was in year 12 one my friends died in a car accident. He was driving his parents Holden ran a red light and was t-boned by a truck. Its is never a good thing for someone to get hurt, rattled a little is ok, it'll teach them a lesson.

As much as it was satisfying to see him crash the car, if he'd been hurt i would have been helping him out. He was lucky to ok, the tree hit the rear door, if there had been a passenger there they would have been seriously injured at the least. Another 40cm forwards and he wouldn't have walked away. There are others that aren't so lucky.

Oh, according to mum who just got home, they still haven't unwrapped the car from the tree, its still blocking the road only now there's a firetruck and cop car
