The Cruze is a Chevy... Why is this a fail? It is also currently winning the British BTCC.

What is more odd of the Cruze is the 'LT' badging - that's a trim of the American Cruze (Chev)...

Guy at my work has a bright red Celica. Probably 2003 - 2005 model at a guess.
Its all stock except a fart can exhaust.
Anyway he turned up to work the other day in a tiny hatchback I asked him where his Celica was and he said
"I don't like driving it in the sun, I need to keep the paint nice and shiny... plus it is heaps expensive on fuel"

LOL I am sure the 1.8L N/A 4 Cylinder sucks through the juice likes it's no ones business.

I don't know what's more a fail, not driving in the sun, or thinking a 1.8L is thirsty.

If it's anything like my mates old 2.2L celica or my old 2.4L (4cyl) triton then yeah, it sucks more fuel than a 4.0L 6.

My triton was a '91-'92 dual cab with a carby. You could watch the needle drop if you were on a long enough road.

Is that a chev with a RHD conversion...?
Must've cost a fortune to import, compliance and convert?

Any smart idiot would just swap badges?

Hate people who can't park their car properly?
Now we can let them know how we feel:
You Park Like an A-hole (website link)

I've printed up a few flyers to keep in my glove box for such occasions.

if you know anything about disabled spaces you'll see he's parked right in the middle of one, the line he's parked over is an old marking, as you can see the disabled symbol is in the centre of the parking space, pretty much where he's parked

so no fail there, unless your going to comment that he shouldnt be in a disabled space at all

I was following this on monday morning and thought it was a fail. Unfortunately this is the only picture that worked and doesnt show how bad it looked especially from the front and back.

I'd have thought the photo would be worth a thousand of my words, but since some people didn't get it:
The Bentley didn't have any disability placards displayed, and was parked in a disabled space.

Yes It does appear that the hilux does have a commodore/crewman rear on it. From the rear the wheels look like there are almost under the floor, why it needed the flares on the rear tub i dont know. Also the way the back actually moves around over big bumps makes you wonder how they attached the whole rear on to the hilux chassis
