Pulsars, especially the SSS are very good cars. The only car that comes to mind as competition for the N15 is the Proton Satria GTi.

There is a world of it's own for the SR20 in aftermarket parts. It's a real shame they discontinued it. I would certainly look at buying a modern day one providing I liked the design of the car.

Skylines driven by morons who do 40 k's everywhere. I had one of those yesterday.
WRX's 90% of the people that drive them think that they have to race everyone to prove that their car is faster than your's. Oh and people who ride around in the back of crappy looking HQ holdens and when they pull up next to you they go why dont you get a real car. I was in my XC ute I just looked at him and said what 400 horse power not real enough for ya. Not one more word was said I think the driver even told him to shut up as at least he could see the difference between a HQ with different colour panels and a 202 and a neat freshly painted xc with a solid camed motor.

Ill tell you what cracks me up...

homos with VT/Vx's that put those ghey altezza's on their calias etc etc and leave the garnish in the middle stock!

It is simply the worst thing I have ever seen. Damn I wish I had a pic!

Does anyone else know what I am talking about?

ohh yeah... so its clear at the ends, but has the red/maroon garnish in the middle that doesnt line up with anything. Same with the Monaro lights that are a completely different shade of red. But i suppose with only 1 eye they cant tell the difference.

My mate has just put the clear tail lights on his white VT SS, atleast he's gone to the trouble of fitting a VX garnish that is completely white to match the car. It looks really good.

lancers with big playboy stickers, cannon exhausts, body kits and even tacho's - mostly driven by woman around here who dont know what rice even is.

Hyundai excels with huge body kits - some have the word 'Hyper Racing' on the side i think.

Mums lugging their kids in 4wd's - and the 4wd has never obviously been in 4wd, and to make matters worse, mum cant drive.

Hehehe, certainly hate seeing them!
But what i hate seeing more are the 4WD's,SUV's etc, the roads are plagued with these ИИИИboxes, that take up all the roads,cut you off,try and drive over the top of you,reverse into you, and generally not see any other car on the road.... hang on, might have something to do with the drivers too :

Why, of phukn why?
"Povo Country" Alot of places are a lot poorer than the Central Coast, Like any area though it has it's good areas and it's bad but as a whole it is definately not povo.
I must admit though I've noticed a trend of P platers starting to get into early E series as much as commys now. There are so many dodgy looking E series around the area that have been chopped and dropped, it's starting to give the falcons just as bad rep as the commy boys.

Mazda 121 Bubbles - I call them pen is mobiles. Those cars ИИИИ me to no end. They just look effin wrong.

Ssangyong Stavic - I have near heart attacks from when these things drive past me. My ИИИИ would make a better car design.

Disabled Falcon Wagon taxis - As if the Falcon Wagon *** wasn't big enough, here comes along a bloody tumor!

Really old people who have roll-down blinds.... On the frikken drivers window!!! They just blind-merge into you while their doing 80kmh(whilst everyone is doing 110) almost causing a near accident, then get ИИИИed off and once back to their retirement village call up talkback radio and complain how a young hoon in a ethnic brotherhood gang almost sideswiped their Avalon, then did some donuts infront of him pointing a gun at him...

I need sleep.

yeah i'll add another vote to those bling bling kustom chromie utes. whoever did one first no doubt had a good idea but once you've seen thousands of them getting around (not to mention the half assed ones) they begin to ИИИИ me real fast!

How about those sports cars with popup-headlights that are stuck up during the day because the motors have broken or whatever. Funny to see.

But I am quite tired of the amount of idiots driving VL/VN/VP/VR and VS series Commodores. But at least it's not an excess of Fords.

The fat backside of VRs and the exposed fuel tank. Compare that to the more modern looking EF with jeweled lights and hidden fuel tank - no contest imo.

A lot of cars bore me, but I wouldn't say im sick of many. Kids with their 4cyl and garbage bin exhausts are ok, they are young and will grow out of it one day.

What does annoy me though, is the popular mod of putting a Silvia front on a 180sx or vice versa.

That bugs the ИИИИ out of me as S15 Silvias are probably one of the ugliest things Nissan ever made. I know 180sxs are basically the same car, but they look better :S
