not only rental cars but stolen. in the notes of some of the vids they state that they dont care about damage and will out run cops because 95% are stolen.
and to keep things rolling.. one for the other rick (or rik) on here VN with a VT rear end...

Went to look at a few cars today in adelaide at autosell motors on south road the place was closed due to it being a sunday but there was 7 cars on the side out of the gates so i was looking around and saw a nice silver au forte looked good till i realise it was being held up by pieces of wood through the middle of the car and some blocks holding up each of the rotors!!! somebody had nicked the wheels the night before haha the owner wasnt happy when i called his after hours number to let him know i didnt wanna buy a car unless it came with wheels!

The typical kind of f. wit wannabe drifters that turbo rwd Nissans seem to attract.

Don't mind me, being the thread saver:
Clicky Paint isn't too bad but the car as a whole is a giant fail/rice bowl in my opinion! This car is almost at the same level of "Wtf were you thinking?!!?!!!" body-kit as the Taurus drag/show car: |

No pictures unfortunately, but an epic fail I just saw was some middle aged bloke in a mitsubishi lancer with all the windows down pumping 80s tunes at full blast. You could hear the tunes from a mile away. Everyone passing him winding down their window and giving him a 'wtf?' look lol. Even people at the bus stop giggling as he drove by

Cruising...

Couple of days ago on the way to get a pinkslip....was waiting to turn right....i looked right and on the ground was a chunk of metal with oil pooled in it.
I look up the road, a long stain of sorts coming from a traffic island going past me and onto the car spaces down the road. The keep left sign on the island (and the sign on the island following the first) were flattened. So one can only guess somebody ploughed right into the island and smashed a nice chunk of sump/motor off....how they could not see the island beats the hell out of me! Was amusing seeing the chunk.. Also seen a Mazda 3 two nights ago that faceplanted into a wall on a bridge, great place to stack....
