Hi peoples there may be some interesting viewing on Today tonight this evening concerning car hoons, I noticed in the ad that they were crushing a commodore. Oh, whats tha,t not all hoons drive imports.... really....

If it was in Vic, more than 44% of Hoon cars confiscated down there are Holdens.

"The most common makes of car impounded by Victoria Police are – Holden (46.3 per cent); Ford (16.7); Nissan (7.8); Toyota (5.1); and Honda (4.3)."

So there you have it. Commodore drivers really are the biggest hoons...

look @ all the bogan comments... left on the website.

their so into crushing cars... woohooo yeah blow it up! crush it! get him! thatll show him!

even the vote states we should crush more cars lol.

Whats next? crushing garages? or houses of 'hoons'?

Although it was just a holden "extreme lol"... it still doesnt make any sense.

Destroying someones property as simple as a car to proove a point only has a negative effect i believe. Preschooler methods.

All of today tonights carpark should be crushed. Whats the bet they speed out of there after work everyday anyway. :)

Idiocracy.

^^^ I think the term is called, "...to make an example of..."

which is also a way that the state government can take advantage of the media to create publicity...

as...

i) a warning to pea-brain peasants with little d/cks to NOT hoon with them; or the gov't will hoon with YOU and...

ii) a show to the rest of us pea-brain peasants (in the government's eyes) that they're in charge of 'law 'n order' !

... to try to counteract a negative action with a negative solution is only going to provide a negative result ...

... if they spent half the money on crushing the car & spent it on educating the driver with positive ideals theyd be twice as far ahead by now ...

... current affairs programmes like today tonight feed off this kind of negativity & fob it off as news

... i wouldnt waste any of my precious time on this planet watching any of those ridiculous programmes

... i cant anyway ... i havnt had any form of tv signal/cable in my house for over 10 years

... cant say i miss any of it ... :nyaanyaa: ...

Fact of the matter is that some dickheads in this world only understand two things. Fear and pain. Unfortunately long gone are the days where beating sense into someone is publicly accepted so fear must be used to get people to pull their heads in.

I'm all for crushing someone's car for repeat offences. Education will have little to no effect on someone who doesn't care for the rules in the first place. Sure, they can always just buy anouther car, but it all costs money.

Guy wasn't even allowed to remove his custom grille. I am outraged.

Besides, how do we even know if the car wasn't permanently confiscated to be sold?

If that's so, nobody would buy that thing, so the council/govt buys it for a meager $300, then crushes it to make this point.

"We want to crush the spirits of hoons. And er we're we, we will be introducing er, new laws shortly."

NOW A VT COMMODORE IS DEAD YOU BASTARDS. :/

Well the word ''Hoon" is starting to become extremely loosely used now.

So maybe you should surrender your car over to the crusher next time you speed over 1km

because thats whats its going to end up turning into.

A more extreme law of what it already is. Thats what happens to dumb laws.

Nahhh they'll just strap a black box under the car loaded with C4 and a GPS tracker and as soon as you exceed the speed limit for the current road you are on, BOOOOM!!!!

On the up side it would stop traffic congestion :P

Honestly, IF they made the laws as strict as that, I'd simply modify my driving in order to keep my car from becoming a Nissan Cube. To get enjoyment out of my car I'd take ever opportunity to go to the track or skid pan to go excessively fast and/or rip skids. Come to think of it... that's what I do now...

Fortunately here in reality, the likelihood of laws that strict being introduced is very low. The public outcry would be enough to topple the law over should the governing body concerned conjure up the balls to introduce it.

My driving record is as tainted as anyone else's, but the difference is that if and when I get caught breaking the law, I accept that I was breaking the law, pay the fine / do the time, learn from my mistake and try not to do it again. At the end of the day it isn't the law enforcer's fault that I broke the law... it was mine.

I dont believe in crushing proven hoon cars !

Thats a shamefull waste of great resource and in some cases very nice cars !

I think they should be put up to auction and the proceeds go back in to lower Green Slip insurance costs for everyone !

I believe you should have the right to buy it back if you want after you get your licence back etc etc

After all its a free country ! . . . . well sort of ! . . . . . Nah not really ! ! !

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
