I hate people who think their car is 'the only real car' or whatever.

That tends to lead to me hating many commodore drivers :P


If a car maker was truly bad they'd go under. I'd never abuse someone because of their maker choice...

Well maybe smart cars. :D

My sister has an impreza, think of the rivalry there haha. Her cars goes like shit though, it barely revs. took it for a drive and was a bit bored, having a 1st gear that does rev its nuts off when you plant it is so boring.

A bit more on topic, Ive never had anyone shake there head at me or anything like that, but im a red p plater, so most people think i have a pretty good car lol.

I'm a member of a local Cruise club here in the ACT, all types of cars and I compete in audio comps too (so bonnet open so judges can check your wiring and battery are in order) Couple people with V8's have jokingly said; "Something happened to your car. You're missing 4 cylinders." But it's just that, joking.

I have seen this type of thing driving around. Last time I went up to Sydney I had a P plate driver try to egg me on for a bit of a race. I just sat on cruise control and let him go. 15 min or so later a highway Patrol car rolled past me in the right hand lane and another 15 and I saw the P plater pulled over.

I seem to recall waving >.>

Nope. And I never will. :D
There seems to be a lot of gimmicky cars lately and I don't really like a few but I don't tell the owners about it, that's just rude. I don't think I could help myself with Smart cars though :D


I've played around with other drivers on the road before, particularly older lancers (they start it :P) but haven't met anyone who insults my car in a non-joking manner 'yet'.

I think a lot of prejudice is aimed at our mods rather than our model though (but I've got no obvious mods yet. Unless its night time :wink:).
They see a sticker or a black bonnet etc and think 'bloody ricer' or 'bloody hoon' without acknowledging the care we have for our cars, the time we put in, or knowing anything about us.

I only cop abuse from p platers, primarily commondores, i like pedestrians, cant keep their eyes off while they walk across the street haha. Ive only raced an SS once, was about 5 yrs old, owned it hard then the 3rd lights he just went crazy and did around 100 in a 60km/h zone. I was impressed, naturally. haha


The news the other night had a hoons story and well basically pointed out the commonhore or commondore as you like, is the hoon national car. Yeah. Ego's a plenty in those cars.

Everyone who jumps in my car always says something nice about it :)

Maybe Lancers are the Japanese version of Volvo; everyone hates them :lol:

Ive seen an Audi Continent-on-wheels take on an SS ute and win. You do see some strange hating going on and vs matches at the lights too. Strangest would be two buses. Not joking either, regular on Wellington Rd/Princes Fwy area right up to Blackburn Rd. One time I did want the two cars in front to do it at the lights was a Nissan Pulsar and a Porsche Boxter. I wanted the Pulsar to take on the Boxster as I wanted to get in the lane it was in :lol:

I get WRX's revving their engines at me ALL the TIME. It's the unwritten rule of Lancer vs Impreza. It's quite annoying. Some drivers regardless of car will break the road laws and risk everyone's safety just to be in front of you.

One time along Pacific Highway near Pymble where it goes from three lanes to two lanes and solid lines with a stripped area on the right. I was in the right lane and had one person cut in front of me over solid lines with less than half a car length in front of me. I slammed the brakes, all is good, I hear a scretch of the Ute behind me, then another, and then another, horns insued.. Then a siren.. a cop car was 4 cars back and saw exactly what happened (as it was a slight up hill crest that sweeps left), He drives along the stripped median area on my right and pulls over the driver that cut me off in the stripped area. I drive past trying not to laugh.

Karma..

I race every now and then, but stop when I hit the spied limit, so pretty much I just get to speed quickly, don't go over as I need my license

I almost had my front bumper taken off by some wanker that cut in front of me the other day
