Being Told To Get A Holden

[djvoodoo]

From memory there was a study done on the most common cars impounded from the hoon laws

Report: 46% Of Australia’s Impounded Cars Are Holdens

General Motors’ Australian Holden brand remains the choice of hooligans down under, as police in the Australian state of Victoria announced that 46% of cars impounded under their “hoon” laws. Ford is the second most popular with 16.7% of the impound share, while Nissan is third with 7.8%.

Nuff said really.

Get whatever car is comfortable for your needs, but if people want to wage the Holden vs Jap war, Bogans will support Holden/Ford. Tech savvy and more "learned" drivers will choose Jap.

I personally love V8's too, especially the GT Falcon from the 70's era, but most V8 drivers are narrow minded, and won't accept that a Holden or Ford is based on a FAMILY people sedan chasis.....

ah yeah sweet.

if you told anyone that drove a holden im sure theyd reply with no thats not right! or yeah thats because there so fast and awesome!!

[evil_weevil]

usage of the car will be. To and from work 15 min drive, umm just a sporty car that looks good, sounds good, and if I want can put my foot down every now and then, also I want to take it to tracks maybe once a month? And then just need it to get to the surf. So I spose I'd need high performance oil for when I do take it to the track etc.

from my experience, get something cheaper to run if you plan on hitting the track once a month!!!!

it will not be cheap!

and you'll get hooked and modify it too much before you know it its not the best car for the street and daily driving!!

well i wont have much money for mods haha.

im a fair tight ass because im saving for a house too. so there wont be any unnessasary purchases hah, i should be able to afford to run it easily, plus a few extra things here and there.

but i might idk. i figure ill have fun before i have a morage over my head. ill probly only want it for 2 years. then buy a newer non turbo sorta car.

That was my original plan too

But truth be told, my car's pretty stock on the mechanical side at the moment (I think). Just gotta do an engine out soon, or lift (long story, oil pumps are bastards to swap out)

oh yeah? that sucks!! need a hand some time besides this weekend?? or need tools? warning i may ask alot of questions

[oweban]

Hey man, all good. If you're alive on Sunday pop around; I'll probably do an oil change so you can ask questions to your heart's content.

EDIT:: just saw the "other than this weekend" heh. Can probably hold off till the one after. Got a bracket to spec up anyway.

Oh, plus: Before texi, if you're comin, I'll link you to somewhere to get a helmet from; mine cost like $100 inc post with a spare visor, you'll need a helmet to be a passenger/driver.

so you are a tight arse, want to buy a skyline, do track days once a month while saving for a house? LOL

mate I hate to say it, cars are the worst money pits in the world!

but they are the best fun too haha

My advice is if you really want a skyline, buy one that has some good stuff on it - an r34 you can get for high teens low 20's with some good stuff on.

if you are like 95% of the forum members here...you'll modify it...and wont stop! its a curse!!!!!

Not everyone is like that

[evil_weevil]

Not everyone is like that

well..they suck then!!

that includes you!!

[MBS206]

Not everyone is like that

Not everyone is a pedobear either.

If you want something to track once a month, buy a dedo track car, buy a Commodore for daily duties, get the track car setup for like improved production (So you keep it "stock") and just drive the doors off it!

My R33 GTS-t will most lkely be up for sale in Jan as I'm looking atspending a lot of time over seas.

Shotgun the Advan wheels!@!

[MBS206]

Shotgun the Advan wheels!@!

It's actually very tempting to part the whole car out where it sits you know...

ButI'll probably drop a new bottom end in and sell as a whole.

[zebra]

I dont care what you do lol, I just want the wheels

[Cassbo]

well..they suck then!!

Number of car issues Cassbo has ever had = 1

Number of car issues you two have had = lol

[evil_weevil]
