Bit of a laugh. Local Vs Import

[lownloud]

A mate sent me this the other day. I chuckled, thought I'd pass it on.

Ok, I'm sick of it. I have an old school Aussie Muscle car in the shed and drive a mildly tweaked Aussie V8 as a family car. So I have heard all the dribble hacking on the new Ford's and Old Fords and the Holden boys cop it too. Well here a list of answers to the smart *** questions and BS statements we get from the “others”. You know those guys that drive Jap imports and Euro psuedo snob cars etc..... Add to it if you feel the need!

Dumb statement number 1:
“My WRX is quicker than a GTHO..... They are no where man”
Reply: “Well you peanut, last time I looked a GTHO was near enough on 40 years old. If your WRX didn't smoke it then I would seriously doubt the intellegence of man and his ability to progress and improve on technology over that time. It SHOULD be a better car dynamically and in just about every aspect.”

Dumb statement number 2:
“ A HSV/GT/F6 isn't as good as a BMW M3 or an Audi S6 (or whatever)....
Reply:
“OK I get it..... We are comparing a $80,000 car with a $180,000 car. I ask you this, would you compare a one bedroom sitter in Bankstown with a 3 bedroom house on the North Shore and expect it to stack up? Or lets put it into something simpler....Ummm, OK let's say a Nokia 6500 with an Apple iPhone. 'nuff said really.

Dumb statement number 3:
“Aussie cars are ****. My car can do everything they can do but better”
Reply:
Well OK mate, Next time I'm going away for the weekend with the family we'll use your car. Here's what I need to take away with me. Me, The missus, two kids, grandma, Four suitcases, two eskies, two bikes, two boogey boards, a toolkit, the dog, four sleeping bags and pilows, 3 backpacks and we'll be towing the tinnie boat.....over the mountains, yep that's right.”
What's that? The Hyundai wouldn't cope? Why not?

Dumb statement number 4:
“My Landcruiser can do all that” (ref statement number 3)
Reply:
Oh I'm sorry, but I wanted something that is vaguely entertaining to drive. Yep the list of features is impressive but I'm pretty sure I'd rather my “falcadore FPGTS” on a nice twisty road than your topple truck.
Like most people who drive 4wd's, Off road doesn't interest me.
*Nb: Real 4wd driver are OK.

Dumb statement number 5:
“Imports (grey) are way better for the money”
Reply:
Sweet. Next time I feel like waiting 3 months for parts and dealing with someone with only a vague grip on the english language I'll buy a 12 year old performance car with a list of performance parts I have no idea about, can't replace or repair......


Oh and if you are reading this and think it's your god given right to stay in the right hand lane when there is 12 cars backed up behind you and you are doing 12km an hour under the speed limit blocking the flow of traffic, remember everyone behind you thinks you are a self centered moron!
Consider the possibility of someone behind you may be wanting to get a loved one to hospital quickly. It may be you one day.
