This is an angry rant on my behalf.

Now i live on the diamond creek side of eltham.. only a hop skip and a jump away from kinglake and St. Andrews, the fires have affected us all in some way or another, whether it be ourselves or someone we know some how..

living fairly close to the devistation i know quite a few people who have been badly affected by all this! fortunatly not myself dirrectly.

Anyhow driving out to a mates place in hurstbridge tongiht, i'm following this wrx... next thing *BAM* flash of orange light ... the douche bag has thrown this lit ciggarette butt out the window, i was so enraged at this point and trying to memorise his rego whilst following him so i can give him a blasting!

especially with the fires still fresh in our mind, and mind you still allight allover the state can people be so careless and do such a thing.. it just makes me so angry!

last time i checked 2002 wrx's have perfectly good ash trays!

unfortunatly i was so angry and not having a pen and paper, i forgot the rego!

he quickly swerved off and drove down a side road in hurstbridge (5 or so minutes drive from St.Andrews where about 23 people died in the fires) so assuming he lives there he should be well aware of the area and the fire hazards and dangers!

so to the 40+ year old driver... YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER YOU #$%^#$% IDIOT, not only are you littering, you could have potentially started another fire!

GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

That's amazing!

Why on earth would someone do such a thing?

Perhaps he flicked it out on habit, completely forgot what area he was in.

In any case, you should never flick cigarette butts out the window.

Would have been good to get his rego.

That's why I carry a note pad & pen in the car.

Couldn't count how many rego's & car description I have written down and submitted to EPA.

No stereo types either, luxury car drivers, elderly drivers, P platers, Soccer Mums... I don't care who they are!

DO NOT DUMP YOUR CIGARETTE WASTE OUT OF YOUR CAR :D

Which reminds me, I have to report a P plater who threw his lit but out the passenger window and into the langwarrin flora and fauna reserve off Warrandyte Rd last night.

Unbelievable!!

Couldn't agree more guys, have you all noticed how many small fires there have been along our freeways latley? One guess why! Friend of mine saw a guy throw a butt out his windows at Knox and start a fire in the garden. Pick them up and throw them back in the car I say :D

Agree with Nate, however I smoke once in a blue moon in my car, usually after a tough day.

I am surprised there isn't a bit of an awareness campaign focusing on bush fires and cigarette butts in addition to the normal "don't litter" msg.

I always try to make sure I have a drink with me so i can put my cigarettes out in that once ive finished - I ash out the window tho and have lost it with the wind a few times and even had my seat cover burnt :D *damn you cigarettes!*

shit when i walk to work and i throw my butt out and i miss stepping on it i purposely turn around and make sure that its out. Must be all the fire talk.

How about you try using a bin, maybe you wont have that problem then huh!? You smokers dropping butts all ove the ground really give me the shits - you're just as bad as the people throwing them out the window.

thats why you use the mirror as a windshield when you ash lol

Maybe it's time you finally quit fool :D Stop putting it off!

ahh im going to have to try this on the way to work soon lol

I also find that ash flys back and hits the plastic/rubber on the door frame and it gets all these white dots and I need to rub them off and then even worse is when ash blows into the back and on the seats - its like vacuuming sand off my back seats.

    • This is amazing. Love that you’re giving the boys an intro to cars and off the screens. They probably have an insta for the car and build posts on TikTok for their mates.
    • It is.  Your car works fine with the tank full. If you drive like a Nana it works fine.  You give it a boot full with half a fuel tank, you get surge.  It 100% is a fuel surge issue. Maybe have a look at installing a Hydramat if you don't want to install a surge tank.  https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/
    • Hanging out in Perth for a conference. Asked for a room with a view… got a view of Bustdown Festival   might stroll down and go say hi to Spotto and some of the hoonfluencers
    • It’s definitely just a problem with my car, as there’s bound to be plenty of 4-600hp cars out there running a factory tank with an upgraded pump and or hanger
    • Ah right, that would be a nightmare as I only get 150ish kms before it starts having issues/half a tank, and yeah if I don’t get into it I could run it completely dry, it’s only when it comes into boost it will start to break up, it also does it in every gear which leads me to believe it isn’t fuel slosh/surge as 4th and 5th shouldn’t have enough power to cause an issue. It’s got me stumped 🙃
