It never ceased to amaze me the stupidity of some people..
I remember many yrs ago while on a freeway in brisbane i could smell burning rubber.
Eventually bits of rubber where hitting my car and i saw a ford panelvan whose rear tyre was shredded. 95kmh on the freeway... no care in the world

Ok, I gotta ask. What on earth are Skull Drag marks? I've never heard the term before. Did someones head get caught under the wheel?

Nice choice of wheels, just needs lowering and the ford logos removed. Toyota actually make a set of wheels just like that:

Wow nit picky

P-Plate in window, whats wrong with that (legalities aside) that was my favorite spot, way neater the a plastic thing shoved behind a plate.

Chev badge? Oh no? How does that effect you?

Bent numberplate? Half the cars on the road have a bent plate.

Dodgy bumper repair? So we all should have $1000's of doller's to go get our cars bodywork repaired all the time?




You need a hobby.

Driving around, seeing a car that taking time out of your life specifically to take a photo of it to laugh it it sounds like more of a fail. Sorta like womens day magazine stuff...

This is at the back of our place. There is no fence or barrier between the road and our section. The bit of fence that you can see in the bottom of the photo is on our deck. There is a drifting circuit along that road and often the cars heading there speed around the bend at the back of our place. I'm waiting for the day that someone comes down the bank. This guy got close but failed to roll down.

Personally these things, as dont did the ricer look
Gold wheels
HSV grille on a SS body
Awesome sticker on rear window
Group A bonnet bulge (not a proper replica by the looks of it)
Spots
Late 80's/Early 90's was probably the bottom of the barrell for Aus muscle


But ultimately -
The number plate - given that most who see it would smirk and think the opposite - thiis would also include owners of stock BA - FG XR6's who would deal to it... given that it started with 165kw...

Doesn't BOLTING an advertising board over the top of an emergency exit (that pushes out) cause a bit of an issue???
I think you will find that it is attached to the window, not the body...

So, when you push the window out, it goes with it
