Times when you've seen a driver who didnt match the car

[XCwillo]

3 blokes just pulled up outside my work in a new land cruiser with black tinted windows, towing a huuuuge speed boat with an engine that looks like it came off the Queen Mary.
Then they got out of the car
Long dirty hair, flanno's, old torn footy shorts and thongs

Wish i got a picture but they took off pretty quick
Probably 'cause they're on the run in a stolen SUV :|

good generalisation there

my old man drives a brand new nissan navara and tows a brand new coramal caravan that is worth as much as his navara

If you saw him you wouldnt think he owns the things he does oh yeh he also owns 3 houses so where is your logic

I once saw an old duck tootle off to her stock looking white Charger. When she started it up I thought "Wow, that sounds alright" then as she drove off I notcied it had twin pipes and a little oval-ish gold badge on the front guard.

Then it twigged she was driving an E48 VJ Charger - one of the rare one with the triple webers but no stripes or blackouts.

[XCwillo]

i know what you mean by how i generalised but you really needed to see these blokes, they werent 'rural bogan' just really 'city bogan' like.
And I come from a place rife with rich cars driven by 'bogan' lookin blokes, hell that describes half my mates dads really hah.

[snappy]

I know what your getting at i pulled up beside a Amg slk this mourning looked across at the driver and there he was the big jolly fatman himself santa claus . Just looked wierd that all.
But he probly looked at at thought its shrek i was so green with envy

[XCwillo]

also seen a 2010 HSV clubsport decked out with all the crazy extras last week park nexted to my car
then as i get out of my car, a group of the nicest looking 80-90 year olds just hop into the HSV and drive off slow as beans
looked pretty funny

[Fordman]

Saw a poor looking dude in a hummer yesterday, quite a shock/

Its funny you mention this, along the lines of your generalisation (and i mean general) A majority of well dressed people and people who wear brand names, always keeping up with the joneses, live in Toorak/Kings Cross (i dunno rich sydney equivelent) Drive brand new european cars, have a maid and gardener etc etc are in debt (a lot of it).
They lease, and multi mortgage EVERYTHING.
These blokes in flannys and everyday surburban people are the ones with real investments, own multiple homes, have actuall cash saved up and afford to buy these luxurys with their own money by saving, being disciplined and not worrying about image or social status and actually enjoying good quality things where they count.
And lets not start on "yea but this well dressed man DOES have cash and investments, and these suburban people are struggling with multi mortgages"
well yea thats true.

Im just saying its not surprising to see well off people wearing Kmart specials and driving high end cars.
I just dont think stereotypes or generalisations apply these days.

[BluepearlXH]

sorry if that sounds like im having a dig at you for saying what your saying, im not.
Just pointing something out.

HEY! that was me man!

80yo lady stepping out of her 1975 Mazda RX4 Coupe that she probably bought brand new in the day.

[Giant Cranium]

saw an old asian bloke (i reakon he was about 80)
could only just see over the wheel driving a e2 maloo!
was lowered and had an exhaust but was a auto.

[302 XC]

Just on this generalisation here

Story i heard years ago (apparentally true)
A bikie looking long haired , scruffy looking bloke walked into a posh real estate agent
Nobody bothered to assist him
Except some bloke from the depths of the office
Seems this bloke was looking to spent a few mill on a house
Never ever judge a book by its cover
Most people i know who have lotsa money/assets (not debts ,dont get confused)
Where there shirts till they fall of,replace shoes when their feet poke threw
Funny thing is, they never rub your face in it
They never parade what they have or should have
They just get on with life

Hah nah s'all good man trust me i know exactly what you mean with all that cause like i said it explaines about half of my mates
One of em has a tattoo'd dad with a ponytail and only ever wears footy shorts and thongs, but drives V12 Dodge RAM with 28" rims
I see that sorta thing all the time
Dont get me started on the one with a 2009 F6 Tornado >.<

[ralphy]

i was filling up my car and in pulled a vz?? SS commodore, older lebonees couple, the old lady was driving, this thing was barely idling with that awesome V8 sound....was weird seeing them driving a car like that

[Cam]

There's a 50 odd year old asain lady in west end driving a cayenne turbo with aftermarket zorst and chromies, looks hilarious with her driving as it spools and roars up the road!!

[motorcycles4eva]

these are funny..
i work at a carwash cafe so i see some..
2 that stand out for me are...
one short asian man, driving an xb gt sedan, has owned it from new.. and yea he can hardly see over the dash...
the other is a nissan r33 skyline heavily modified driven by a brick sh.. house tongan..
i asked him how he gets in as he is heavily built (muscle's not fat)
and he laughed thank god..

[G6E Turbo 2]

Jamie Wincup in a Holden, It's just wrong

None of you blokes (or sheilas!) have ever been to Darwin have ya ?

But seriously, this is common and many dress like this. Though my wife beater's have a bit more colour and I prefer grey. lol.

The really rough looking ones up here are, no matter race or background....really bad.

I did however, see a couple of itinerant 'looking' people some time ago tooling around in a BMW M3. But royalties do that....so you can't really generalize at all here.
