Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

[emts]

need some matching luggage for your BMW?

[Count Grantleyish]

after blasting up and back the hume every weekend for a couple months I cannot believe just how bad it is currently.

I know it's end of summer so city folks doing their last weekend away in vic for the year but damn that Lane etiquette is gone.
always seems to be a Black SUV sitting at 105 in the right lane.

On the bright side, NSW are enforcing right lane hoggers.

We need to do the same here.

Oh and the Hume is rough af, much better in NSW.

For sure and Hume too.

Hume at 110 is boring as f**k.

 

Not in a slammed car in the rain...

When is a good time to call it a day with a car build before moving on to something else?

When youre happy with where its at and have enjoyed it? When you have "finished" it and eager to sink teeth into something else? Or just once you fall in love with a fresh idea that you cant apply to your current car?








Asking for a friend.

how can there be such a lack of supply when there are just so many new houses going up.

every house sold here has been knocked down to turn into 2-3-4 town houses 

I didn't think our population increasing just that fast? 

 

highest population growth on record.. and also the issue is how CBD centric everything is so people want to be close to it

Car projects are like games of monopoly - full of fresh excitement, opportunity and fun at the start. Then half way through you've given all your money into some flamin mongrel with nothing to show for it, slowly draining you of your motivation to continue, at which point free parking becomes the only way out.

Not the pulsar. Keep getting bad ideas about convertibles.

 

Not for a while yet, but if planning to move on in the next 2 years (for example) makes you consider how much and what mods you're going to install moving forward to try and finish the project.

 

Luckily with the Gloria, not much workshop stuff. Mostly mild stuff done by myself and friends.

 

And at least with changing wheels, you can sell them relatively easily (for a smallish loss) *

 

*decent 5x114.3 wheels only

Keen on getting a convertible while you still have your hair hey Liam?

What is your field?

Again, this is where business needs to be decentralised.

Rules of free market say that if it's truly unsustainable travel time then employees will find work elsewhere or rent closer to it...

Business Analysis / Project Management. While there are "some" jobs in the outer suburbs, they are usually poorly paid and for average companies. All of the digital agencies and interesting work is still in the CBD. The pay is also important, it's hard to find jobs that pay 6 figure salaries in the suburbs.

I'd love if there were more companies like this in the south east suburbs, but since these positions usually deal with other large organisations they are situated in the CBD for close client contact.

Please don't post this shit as if I'm one of those retarded socialists who felt the need to give monopoly a touch of welfare / a leg up to shitty players by putting taxes and penalties in the middle of the board so they could wind up richer than Mayfair.

I don't know enough about your industry to argue otherwise, but this still sounds like choosing the city over suburbia because of a relative pay difference and a perceived better work / career path available. I think patience and persistence are required to find the good suburb job, but they are definitely there. Otherwise, if the city job doesn't pay enough to sustain buying property close to work, then it's not sustainable work IMO and you find a job elsewhere or change industry. For as long as employees are prepared to travel an hour to work and/or rent inner suburbs me CBD, these companies won't change their operations to accommodate.

It was a play on words because scrapping a car project frees up parking space and free parking is also one of the only refuges left on the board when everything is owned.
