Default What's Wrong With People

i couldnt believe what i saw today....this topic is getting old and people will say that if its your car you should do what you want to it. but i think there is a point where you must draw the line and i think what i saw today crossed that line and Shat on it! i saw a purple WRX Impreza with orange GT stripes and hood decal....maybe im wrong but i wasnt sure that WRX has that as an option on their cars?

Haha, now that is funny. i've seen some silly stuff, but that just goes to far, as for spray painting.... how about some poor fool, using black gloss spray paint for his tyres, and getting all over the just cut and polished body.... hehe, shoulda used black out for tyres...

i've seen 2 commodore utes (one parks in keys rd moorabin near the motor bike licence place) and a territory with ba bonnet bulge fitted. the territory looked strange but the holdens look stupid (like fitting shakers, 12 slotters, top loaders and 9inch diffs to hq's 20 years ago) buy a ford don't try and turn a holden into one!

You think that is bad holden are spending an entire hour on channel 9 trying to sell the VE commodore, now how desperate are they. They were not going to beat FORD,S ba falcon and they have no chance with the BF. Holden sucks, the poor deluded people, talk about clutching at straws.However for all you holden lovers be quick it finishes at 5 oclock.

I saw a two year old Holden Monaro (yellow) with a big fat wing (criminal to put a wing on those things at ALL) and big black twin BA GT stripes complete with the GT cutout.... WRONG!

Yeah, we need to get Harold Scruby behind the cause to end this madness, as it is distracting. When I saw a VN commodore with an XR8 Bonnet Bulge and GT stripes and GHIA badges on it I almost had an accident as I was laughing so hard. Problem is, when you laugh, and I mean really laugh, your eyes go squinty. This makes it hard to see. C'mon Harold; End this madness.
