I recall one guy in an ex-pursuit VL 5L that was stock apart from a chopped off resonator (please note VL 5L only had 122kw) and lowered, had one massive one and he thought he was hot sh-t until one of my mates in a stock VN V6 hosed him. He had a massive mullet too.

Stone Flectors,

I remember some nice cars being spoilt by these attrocious adornments.

I don't get this one either. What does the brand Jetpilot do (besides make crappy stickers)? Anyway I hate any brand stickers. Especially sound system ones. "PIONEER" in 12-inch-high text across the back window of a 1980s Skyline = many many loser points for you. I would like a sticker saying "AUDIO BY CLEVELAND" because a 351C sounds better than any sound system. Especially if it's playing doof-doof. There was a study done in 2007 on people who play doof-doof; 100% of subjects were found to have laughably small penises.

Hornet scoops on 6-cyls. Especially if they just mount the scoop without cutting the hole in the bonnet. Toss pots.

Fog lights. Every idiot drives around with his fog lights on thinking it makes his car aggressive. Sorry mate your car looks like a four-eyes and you look like a bum****.

And those stupid polished chrome fuel caps with the rivets going round the circumference. Pathetic.

B&S utes have had me in fits of laughter from the moment i set eyes upon one, it really makes you wonder what goes on inside some peoples heads.
Along with the B&S utes, i loathe those CAT mud flaps and RM Williams stickers on the back window of absolutely everything these days.

Keep it in the country would yas?

One trend that really gets me going is the young morons in stock VN VP V......etc Commodore's who only cut the back springs in their cars till its just about scraping along the road while basically sitting in the back of the car because the front seat has been pushed back as far as it will go.

blueoval · 22-05-2009, 03:58 PM

Things I dislike on cars are:

massive rear wings
frangipani stickers
fluorescent seat cover etc.
stock rims on a car that has had a bodykit fitted and stock ride height (makes you look cheap)
10" diameter cheap a$$ chrome mufflers from autobarn on the back of bog stock 4 cyl cars
Cars that look they have never seen a wash since factory
ghey dodgy aftermarket looking fog lights that are poorly fitted to the front of any car
racing style pedals on a bog stock non performance car
5" monsta tacho's on stock cars
Jetpilot stickers

i was meant to include those utes in this...

i meant to say that the utes in the posts above would be considered normal in the outback, and our cars are lame to them. those utes may be considered sleepers to some.

Our cars might look lame to them, but their cars look absolutely f--king retarded to us.

Also, anti-static strips hanging down from the undercarriage of a car, and chrome rack/luggage carrier things bolted to car bootlids (yeah lets drill through the sheetmetal of the boot to mount a stupid looking rack to carry stuff that would fit in your boot anyway

haha, what's funny is that I forgot to add that to my post as well.

**Tucool** · 22-05-2009, 04:48 PM

It used to annoy me the way every car had to have a front end change to a statesman clone or variation... I saw a red XB GS with a statesman F/E grafted on

: atrocious and the worst I ever saw was a HZ Monaro back when it was only a couple of years have the F/E altered to fit a VB commodore F/E... it looked terrible

Rev28K · 22-05-2009, 04:53 PM

“Racing” stickers on cars that couldn’t drive out of sight on a dark night.
“Performance” modifications that make a car slower than stock – I had a friend who lapped slower with his monster straight through exhaust fitted.
Monster engines with stock brakes
Shoulder harness pads on stock retractable seat belts.
Stick on bonnet pins
Bolt on fake brake kits (Spoon calliper covers, fake rear brake discs that cover the drums).
HID headlamps that are misaligned.
Fake tow hooks (screwed on with 2 self tappers)
Fake exhaust tips (Lexus IS-F & Ferrari California), guard vents (Holden/HSV) and rear diffusers (too numerous to mention).
Those bonnet strakes that were around on BMW 3.0 CSL’s and Brock VH HDT Group 3’s and copied on to lesser cars.

I do clean it from time to time... and it looks great when I do... but most of the time I just CBF

mrbaxr6t · 22-05-2009, 05:36 PM

One car I seen that really made me go what the hell were you smoking was a XW/Y falcon sedan genuine GT with a ZJ frontend! the one with the four lights one above the other, looked very messed up he had the super roo pin stripes on it and all - he saw sense eventually and fitted the correct nose after a while.

ALSO : A fad that makes me wonder is the whole lean back and toward the middle of the car (usually seen in commodores with hats on) makes me think dude why don't you just sit on your console then, and if you get two of these in the car they pretty much sit shoulder to shoulder (this is the part that makes me wonder) sit properly in your cars for the sake of your sexuality guys.

That's fair enough. They certainly don't suit VL's now do they, hey. Obviously got what he deserved!

But B&S utes really annoy me to no end its not funny.

-Cannon exhausts
-HSV bodykits on none HSV's or moreso VX/Y/E kits on earlier commonsnores
-Altezzas

: they look like steaming, and cheapen the look of the car in all ways.

SM1DY · 22-05-2009, 06:03 PM

funny coloured window tints
dirty rear bars just above the exhaust
blue or red metalic grilles in the front or rear bar
Plastic Brembo brake look-a-likes --- Click here
GT stripes on anything that isn't a GT or GT-P
debadging <---- I like that one

That's all i can think of

thankyou...i thought i was the only one

No worries mate.

While I'm at it... Chameleon paint or whatever it's real name is. The paint that changes colour from whatever angle you look at it... It's just awful.

Daymoe · 22-05-2009, 06:39 PM

Permanently having stockies on the rear and something else up the front, a guy who lives near me has a VL with black stockies on the rear and 19" chrome wheels on the front. Also the other day when I was going through Bundoora, we stopped at the lights with some guy in a VX Commodore with black stockies and big wheels up the front with the *** slammed. The guy was wearing white "sports" clothes with a flat brimmed hat.

Have a guess of the ethnicity of the driver.... lol.

GREGXR8 · 22-05-2009, 10:41 PM

always wondered why people bought a holden then fitted em with, 12slots, shaker, toploader and 9". why not just buy a ford? knew a guy that had a HQ coupe with a cleveland in it. was engineered.

VioletGT · 22-05-2009, 10:44 PM

I have only skimmed over this but.. The stickers down the front door of all rice cars that say TRUST, HKS, BLITZ, GAY, and the car is a dead stock non turbo auto.

I also cringe at the little dolls they hang off the rear towing point usualy under the back bar of the car..

VioletGT · 22-05-2009, 10:47 PM

How about the dudes the cruise around on r1's and blades in short shorts and singlets poping quarter-mile wheelies?

XDV800 · 22-05-2009, 10:55 PM

^thats not a fad, thats a homicidal tendency.
Wish i could pop a 400m wheelie on my R1 in my wife beater...without scratching my face.
