even public schools dont allow swearing. we used to get in trouble for that sorta thing, nowadays it seems parents dont care and teachers have to deal with foul mouthed little snots who swear because its cool.

forums will always be full of language and things you wouldn't say to someones face. this whole thread makes me laugh.

*on topic tho, yes this is quite stupid. And i hope they get fined or worse.

Yay for Birds :D

If you knew me in real life, I do swear more than everyone in this thread combined lol. But I agree, in written text, using ridiculous revenge scenarios and excessive swearing comes across as an emotionally irrational response to a bad situation, i.e. no better than the boost guys.

either that or he sounds drunk or high.. with his dog marley lol

It never ceases to amaze me the increasing amount of stupidity and idiocy among people of all age groups, of all 'enthusiastic' passions, of all backgrounds. Burnouts at a funeral; wow thanks, now even more people will give me dirty looks as I drive my skyline.

It tugs at a nerve or two when I see this sort of behaviour; sure I'm young, sure I drive a [reasonably] quick car, but I rarely (if ever) engage in such "performances". Least of all in such a deserving place of respect.

'Tsk tsk.'

agree 100%

im a very curteous driver. and i STILL get a head shake from the person i just let through etc when i could have kept going and let him wait for ages in melbourne traffic.

also, oldies. pwoahhhhh. slow down and come to a stop to let a little old lady cross the street. she calls me a f**ken idiot. lol?

You guys do realize that your over-used profanities are bringing you down to the level, right?

I struggle to take any opinion seriously when all they're saying is "...f**k...shit...f**kwits". It's even harder when you can't even spell your profanity right.

I'm not going to point people out, but Birds has demonstrated a very mature approach to expressing his thoughts as opposed to the various authors of other posts.

George; While comparing shooting people to burnouts is a bit of an extremity, I do feel that's what people do sometimes.

In response to the driveway; that is annoying. Get the boostcruisers out there cleaning it up imo.

As long as the people organizing the cleanup take a "Our mess our responsibility" approach with a mentality of "We don't want to disadvantage the funeral home after what they did for our mate", then it'll be a successful exercise.

Silvia GTR; Good point, I was just thinking in a 'then-and-there' frame of mind and didn't consider alternative locations.

I now know what I'm planning for my funeral... :)

Whoa there, we gotta swearing nazi

gtfo

either that or he sounds drunk or high.. with his dog marley lol

My dog is real and legit. Have not been high for 10 years.

I'm not going to play 'internet flame wars', but I am going to say...

Birds; WOOT I got sigged :D

Also, I'll believe you about your dog, but the weed thing? I'll come to a conclusion based on your age :P

RBNT; I'm not a swearing Nazi. I can be extremely vulgar myself. Note, I also said "over-used".

However, given the topic, public forum and peoples perceptions of Skyline drivers, I don't believe such immature behaviour should be displayed so vividly (in this thread). I'm all for discouraging hooning, but the manner people are using to express their disappointment with what they see as immature, poor driving is simply dragging them down to the level of the boostcruisers.

In years from now, people are going to stumble across this thread, and think, "Oh God, are Skyline drivers really that bad?" It's poor image.

Not that I'm a shining example of a good image, but I do try.

If you were talking to me IRL about this subject casually at a cruise or the like, I would be using curse words to describe them, but I don't think it's appropriate here.

Nee-san; Thanks for linking that thread, gave me such a good laugh. Hamiltonau's post was classic xD

But again, I'm not against swearing in general, it's just in this context I feel it's inappropriate.

mlr; byte me. :P

I remember quote-editting when I was 13.

Edited by SKITTLES

lol, but its the little things in life that me laugh

Also when I was 13 it was 1978 and calculators were the new things at school, Computers and "quote editing" for me is full of awsome newness.

Apart from them being the devil that is.

I often get a wave for letting people in, I also get people trying to brute force their way into tiny gaps and yelling and tooting when I don't really have the room or the time to let them in.

All luck of the draw I guess.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
