People who think your a hoon because you have a nice looking car and a nice sounding exhaust system on your P's when your car is designed for crusing not hooning

People who have a thing against P Platers when last time i checked we are all human :

Sell Outs

and

Motorists who speed.


EDIT
And of course chev badges on holdens :P

I had to watch (not by choice) "What's good for you" on Channel 9 tonight. They did this drive with an Avalon through the North Shore and F3 in Sydney. One of their tips was to drive Below the speed limit. It will save you $3 in fuel if you do the same drive he did. When the mass media is telling people to drive slowly on the road, I get the sudden urge to try and reach through the Plasma and strangle the moron that is talking.

The Olympics is next. I'm so over this bloody event, and Channel 7's below par coverage. We didn't even get to see Stephanie Rice carry the Flag into the Stadium because the Chinese bearer was more interesting. Tell that to every Australia male.

Lastly, Global Warming. I haven't been this cold in ages. My Aircon and Gas have been going flat out for hours, and I'm still not warm. I think its time to get a Fireplace.

[QUOTE=ELtim]Commodores with Chev badges[QUOTE]

have to agree there, yeah cause chev designed the car, sourced the parts, put it together and flogged it off :

Getting charged for the stupidest things from the government, ie $15 bucks extra to re adjust the date of rego if rego is renewed after the end date :

Drivers that point the finger at you when you overtake them because they're travelling 10 kays under the limit :

People who label you as a hoon if you have an exhaust system yet still drive like a grandpa :

ah so many more.....

+1 for the Chevrolet badged Holdens.
Why do people put Chevrolet badges on? What's the appeal?

I honestly don't understand people.

Saw some ballsack speeding on the Western Hwy in a Holden Ute...big A* sticker (Arnette?), Chevrolet badge, and altezzas on their rear lights.

I just don't like those fecking Chevrolet badges.

If this is true to form, maybe I'll go around to all the Barinas, tear the "Holden" and "Barina" badges off and replace them with "Daewoo" and "Kalos" badges respectfully.

Sorry stuck at work watching some Family guy

What about Nicole Kidman? The media can't get enough of her but just about every movie she's been in has been terrible.

As for the Chev badges on Holden thing, I've seen a Toyota Lexcen with Chev badges. So that's a Holden rebadged as a Toyota rebadged as a Chev!

I also get annoyed by slow people in the right lane and people who don't use indicators. I nearly slammed into a new Corolla a couple of days ago when the driver (who was nearly at a standstill) just dived into my lane without looking or indicating. I was going a lot faster than them and had to slam on the brakes to avoid them. It was a close one. I mean they shouldn't have done the lane change until it was safe but the lack of indicators made it worse. Honestly how hard is it to use them? All it is is laziness.

What grinds my gears is when I forget to use the clutch..
No... seriously..I hate it when people DON'T shoulder check when changing lanes. They just assume the door mirror is correct, but they don't see you right beside them. I hate the stupid flat mirrors they make us have on cars here in OZ. :evil3: (Imports usually have the curved wide angle side mirrors)
I always shoulder check before changing lanes (no matter what I'm driving!).

In regard to the girlfriend thing... One solution is..don't have one.. Life's better without an evil nagging pain in the A$$.

Ok.. I go lie down now...

What grinds my gears is:

- Knobs turning right at a traffic lights, who put their indicator on after the lights have turned from red to green, and cars have banked up behind them.
