Default Crap cars......

lol ive seen some shockers im in brisbane and ya get the lot, Im near moss street so you get the bogan loser dole bludgers and ya also get ya stupid *** rice box's as well

Bogan Rice cars (commodore):
VN with jetpilot sticker fart cannon pipe and rice hubcaps yeah that looks awesome and when they pull up next to you , you hear the beautiful sound of a nocking half dead ****box v6 and the driver has a goatie and a hat on the wrong way and the seat wound back, If only we were all as cool as this bogan.
ive seen some shockers, VN-VP's with the boot garnish removed and painted looks GREAT and the holes for the garnish are still there......Awesome...., Also love how VN-VP brake lights always look faded from the sun and go clear suppose it saves the owner spending money to make his car look even more ****house, and their brake lights never work properly anyway, Great cars

VR-VT with altezza lights id love to get out a bassball bat **** i didnt think you could make a commodore more ugly, Yes it's possible..

Stickers are gay, see them 2 much on commondungers, "Jetpilot" "Holden" The "holden emblem" covering the whole rear window "Kaos car club", not fooling anyone your car is a ****box..... raced a VR once, "**** on ford" sticker what happened? i caned the **** out of it, he didnt try again.

Oh another thing on every bogans commodore, probably a months worth of his centrelink payments, 10000000" tacho of which if he tries to get the needle half way up it to make use of having a tacho that goes to 12,000 he will throw rods out of his dunga v6

Try hard ricers:

Lancers: with HUGE mags, ralli art sticker and 1 or 2 fart cannons coming out of it, very loud sounds like me after to much cabbage or baked beans wish they knew how dumb they look,

Hyundai Excel : The ultra ****box, Body kit almost on the ground 19" Trash can lids, Twin Fart cannons and big glossy sticker on the front "Hyundai" must be proud of his ****box probably smokes pot.., seen other variants of the same car others with HUGE wings (maybe something for the tow truck to hook onto??) WTF!! also with the shopping list on the door, oh how ****en stupid, Apexi, Trust, Etc i'd like to add Milk, Eggs, Bread to the list.

In general Try hard Commodores or 4 Cylinder cars that are loud , sound very **** (Farts), Stickers, Stupidly oversized mags, Huge tacho's on an engine that will blow up past 5500 (v6) even more stupid when the car has a factory tacho... You get the point, im opinionated :

That Vrx or tryhard vrx lol what was the driver smoking??? or what wasnt he lol and that AU definately for hanging out the clothes lol i started laughing out loud when i saw that

there was a couple of funnies here. One was a vy ss with *fordz* number plates, not quiet sure of the significance.

and this one was my favorite, a vy clubsport lookalike complete with executive badges and number plates *wyzman* its been over a week since i seen it and it still cracks me up.

I saw a VT Executive in town the other day with BA 18s on it.

I have also seen a BA XR6 NA with silver pinstriping down the sides and the silver Fairmont thingy over the number plate at the rear.

That would be illegal, wouldn't it?

Drag is always a trade off for downforce. I'm more wondering what the drag from that huge wing would do to fuel economy and performance.

Guys, I dont normally comment on these things but that AU with the Kit is absolutely disgusting, people would point, laugh and throw things at you.

Its a six with painted calipers for goodness sake, what a classic, for 18k you could buy a real car, like an S3 220

Did see a Camira in penrith with a bodykit and massive rear wing on it. The wing itself would have been enough to buy ten camiras

since we are on the topic of bad mods on cars...i got a few. i hate seeing gt stripes on any car that is not a gt. the stripes are for the gt not and xr8 and especially not an xr6. i dont mind hood decals on the xr8 but deffinantly not the xr6 with the xr8 bonnet and hood decals. the xr6 is a great car but stop trying to be a v8 look a like stuff like that really s***s me. ive got too many to fink of but 1 that reqally sticks in my mind is a vy maloo around my area with an xr8 bonnet..i mean what was dat guy on?oh and crappy vt v6s with monaro bonnet scoops.. who you fooling?

I COMPLETELY AGREE!
any car with GT stripes, that is not a gt, does not deserve it, its a specific trait of a GT and it is not valued for anything lesser!
If you want GT stripes, proudly own a GT!..
And for taht about the monaro bonnet scoops and stuff aswell, gees!
Its all good if you want to modify ur car, and yes, its makes it look different to the 'stock' but leave the specific values and details of cars to their own!

VRX Series 1 and export VRXs were fitted with those 16 inch wheels, the 17 inch wheels and bodykit are actually just an options pack on a Magna Sports from MY02/Series 1.5 onwards.

Saw a AU I Forte cruising around North Richmond, with a VT hubcap on the front wheel and what appeared to be a AU II hubcap on the rear, so technically its running a 16" tyre on the back and 15" on the front.

What were they thinking!?
