What Is The Deal With Commodore Drivers?

[RyanVLSL]

Let me put it into perspective for you mate.

NOT ALL!!!! Commodore guys are dickheads, yes I know alot of the dickheads on our roads drive Commmodores but there are dickheads in Nissans,Toyotas,Fords,Mitsubishi etc.

This is what shits me about the whole car scene alot of people whinge by saying that they get abused by bogans on the road and stuff.

Then alot of people have the hide to do the exact same shit and bash bogans and their Commodores/Falcons on a internet forum.

[evil_weevil]

you will find idiots i nall types of cars

commodores, magnas,lancers,skylines,falcons,audi's,bmw's etc etc

i was a commodore driver - and one day i'll sit my big bum in a V8 again.

However im sick of people branding commodore drivers as f**kwitts and bogans.

alot of skyline owners dont like being called ricers or anything.

its just a minority.

ignore it - simple.

It's not just commodore drivers though. Boganism is a problem that infests this country.

As Ryan said above, while the mullet ridden commo driver is the steriotypical bogan, bogans drive all sorts of cars, fords, r31s, lancers, pintaras, and s13 silvias.

usually, they don't have nice cars, because they're bogans and can't get jobs.

I havent been able to get a job.

But I have a nice car.

this is turning into a sh!tfight and it was never meant to be although in hindsight i guess it was inevitable.

its rather like the ever occuring sr vs ca battles. instead this is commo drivers vs import drivers.

obviously dickheads drive all sorts of cars. but what intrigues me is why so many dickheads seem to drive commodores and so many commodores seem to have dickheads behind the wheel!

Its because Commodores are so cheap and they are everywhere, thats why the dickheads seem to drive them.

But they are dickheads anyway regardless if they drive a Commodore or not, they're probably dickheads even while they're not behind the wheel of a car.

Cars dont make people dickheads people make themselves dickheads.

This is why the common stereotype of "Commodores wankers" pisses me off because they arent the only guys that seem to cause trouble.

Sorry if im getting a bit defensive but I just dont like it when Commodore drivers always seem to get singled out in these type of threads.

Whats worse

Bogan Commodore Driver/Import bashers

or

Import Bogan drivers/Commodore bashers

You tell me Rb20inside.

A car doesnt make you who you are.

Just getting back to the original post, I see 'Robbie Bolger' was mentioned in the same sentence as 'Commodore wanker' symbolcally .

Without going into too much detail, there was a thread over at www.nissansilvia.com where ppl were talking about the Commodores in the Drift Australia rounds. People (myself included... dunno why now! ) were concerned about the bogan situation if Robbies Ute or whatever Commodore started winning. You know, like bogans going to the drift rounds specifically to bag the Jap-crap blah blah blah. Robbie came back and totally missed the point and started verbally abusing (keyboard stylez) anyone who even remotely seemed like they supported Japanese cars. He behaved like an extremely spoilt 6-year old. And this Bolger dood thinks he represents the 'professional drivers' of drift Australia... that guy needs a full paid up PR representative to speak on his behalf I swear.

That thread mysteriously got deleted some time ago...

this is a great post

it's interesting that the post starts out as a commodore/falcon wanker thread and ends up a commodore wanker thread.

i personally havent met many ford fans who have delusions about ford actually having good performance cars (even though they do, just in the states) compaired to holden fans who think they're top shit. great cars for basic, cheap transport but not for much else.

people need to see commodores for what they are, cheap family transport. nothing else. HRT exempt, but the similarities between them and stock cars is just not there. i think a few people posting on here have hit the nail on the head when they say the problem is, is that commodore drivers think they're in a HRT V8 when they're in a V6 exc

[RyanVLSL]

The only Commodore I dont see that has much of a "Family appeal" is the VL Turbo by far.

[mid life crisis]

if skylines were the same price as vn and vl commys there would be just as many wankers driving them .like someone else said the make of car dont make ya a dickhead .hell ive been yelled out by a wanker driving a r33 cause he thought his r33 was tougher than my r33 a dickhead is a dickhead no matter what he drives

[R33S2]

Most bogan abuse I have copped would be from a certain age group, that I would say is in the 16 to late twenty's and is it also a coincidence that age bracket is targeted by the police and insurance COs? In my opion (limited as it is) its because they are at an age when they are in a formulative state, and if their brain power is not upto the tasks/ conclusions that bring success its blamed on a multitude of reasons and/or taken out on targets as direct verbal or physical abuse, they're angry some of this mob, some grow out of it, some don't, like the corolla driver that abused my R33 and a R32 parked in a bob janes lot, we were the only one there, he would of been in his 40-50s, and he wasn't dressed bogan like either.

As a teenager we were labeled bogans because we lived 5ks from the surf, Sawtell/Toormina, we surfed but we were still westies to the surfers and that attitude sucks! I must admit that this whole labelling thing was useful in tourist season as we were locals, so in part we behaved as bogans because thats what was expected of us, I know some of the surfers did worse than us but it was `cool' for them to do this stuff.

Bogan abuse is just an example of a certain percent of societies attitude thats it OK to abuse.

hey dont knock r31's man

they are cool cars

[r32skyline_89]

I previously had a vl calais but soon saw the light and turned to a R32 gts-t. If your from Ipswich you will understand where RB20INSIDE is coming from. For example. First week i had my car i went for a drive to the nortorious Ipswich lap. Every set of lights had 17 year old wankers in vc vb vl all sorts of commodores, revin there stock engines and just being complete dickheads. I did about 3 laps with a Red VL commodore with a homemade body kit trying to race me the whole time. Obviously being the odd one out in an import amongst bogans. On the last lap me and a mate decided to head on out after seeing the skanky girls that hang out in there and thought enough was enough when some f#$ken dickhead drove straight up my arse. MY CAR WAS ONLY 1 WEEK OLD. How do u drive up somebodies arse doing 40km/hr? Only a young moron who has no drivin skills what so ever. It took months for the smash repairs to fix it as they were so busy (obviously that shit happens a lot in there). I will never go into Ipswich lap again. But being a ex vl owner i can seriously say it does depend on the people driving the cars. So in conclusion i think its just IPSWICH lol everywhere else i have been after that, i have had a ball cruising with other imports or tough vl turbos as my mates have a few.

hey dont knock r31's man

Ah who was "Knocking" r31s? lol

[krzysiu]

Dosnt mtatter what car people drive, they can be wankers either way. I seen a gy in a brand new V10 M5 Driving it like a bloody retard like he has something to prove.

Thats what happens when idiots have money..

[CruiseLiner]

i reckon the thing giving 4/6's a bad name is the excels/lancer/civic brigade that act liek total morons with stickers galore and i understand y commo drivers think that.

in perth we recently had motovation car show, more than 50% of the turbo cars had to give a huge rev and pshht pshhht past the crowd every single time they came near anyone, and wonder y they look and get called total idiots. very embarassing and shows lack of maturity and then some others popping flames and revving there cars for about 10 mins staight, and they just act like 5 year olds.

i see more knobs in imports than anything, and its the reason everyone with a skyline is imediately in the same category in the view of commo/ford drivers.

blow off valves should be banned from venting i reckon.

i got a stagea so no more shit from v8 knobs cause they dont even know its a performance car hehe.

[scathing]

So in conclusion i think its just IPSWICH lol everywhere else i have been after that, i have had a ball cruising with other imports or tough vl turbos as my mates have a few.

So what you're saying is that its not Commodore drivers that are dickheads, but drivers from Ipswich.

Dickheadism is everywhere, it doesn't just come from a badge. For every Falcodore that's done a loser flyby on me, I've had Silvias, Skylines, Supras, Soarers, Corollas, RX-7s, 318i, 206GTis, Golf GTis, etc all try and drag me or have something to prove.

It's not Ipswich, it's "the switch".

[The_Paladin]

there just seems to be an unusually high concentration of those dickheads driving commodores.
