The Car Thread

40947 Views 2492 Posts Locked Social
Well there's been enough instances where we've discussed the topic of cars in the general social thread so why not have one dedicated to it.
If you've just got a new car, shopping for a new one, broke you current one, dreaming about that exotic sports car, into tuning, want to bitch about n00bs on the road and so on and so forth.

Today I went out and bough some 4000k Philips headlamp bulbs because I wanted that cleaner looking light. I went into Autobarn and grabbed a set of H4's which I assumed that were the correct size because that's what was in my last Commodore, but when we got back and my mate and I started fitting them it turns out Holden has now decided to go to the H11 sized bulb. So I had to do a mad dash back to the shop and do an exchange. Well they are fitted now and I like the look so I'll be going back to get another set of these bulbs for the fog lights.

Doesn't help that it looks like a mail box with wheels.
How does it even sell 150-200 per month?

You will have better luck finding my a car in my criteria that houses a 4cylinder engine.
The BMW was a bad example, but the 318i is a hell of a lot cheaper than a 325.


Go buy an impreza. LOL! Hmm... RWD 4cyl..

They misjudged our car culture here. Young people mostly go for Falcodores or rice rockets, the Rukus is neither of those things. It will only sell to someone who wasn't quite willing to settle for a Micra [Shifty]

WHY NOT JUST TURBOHZ THEN!?
IS200. Surely you can't call a 2.0 6cyl a 6 cyl. :P Torquey, manual, SMALL! LOL! Seat would be all the way back xD

Or drive a camry in reverse 24/7
yeah I have a hard on for the is200.
problem is... not cheap.

What is it, I don't get it, I see its a NSW number plate on a white car with a chev badge, I can't make out the stickers on the rear window, what do they say?

Basically I'm laughing at the fact its a Holden Viva with a chev badge.

Holdens with chev badges = fail

And yes chev make a version of this car but no its not a viva its a Chevrolet Lacetti or Chevrolet Optra depending on model
The point that its actually a viva with a chev badge. Something you don't see that often, well as often as a commo with a chev badge.
Chev badges should be banned in Australia now, if I see another V6 Executive or Omega with a Chev badge on it I'm going to try.
