I had to watch (not by choice) "What's good for you" on Channel 9 tonight. They did this drive with an Avalon through the North Shore and F3 in Sydney. One of their tips was to drive Below the speed limit. It will save you $3 in fuel if you do the same drive he did. When the mass media is telling people to drive slowly on the road, I get the sudden urge to try and reach through the Plasma and strangle the moron that is talking.

The Olympics is next. I'm so over this bloody event, and Channel 7's below par coverage. We didn't even get to see Stephanie Rice carry the Flag into the Stadium because the Chinese bearer was more interesting. Tell that to every Australia male.

Lastly, Global Warming. I haven't been this cold in ages. My Aircon and Gas have been going flat out for hours, and I'm still not warm. I think its time to get a Fireplace.

My Brother is down there (Wagga Wagga). He's not stopped whinging since he moved. 0-16 today wasn't it?

I'd call living in Carins too cold. I can't tell you how much I hate winter. Bring on Summer.

[QUOTE=ELtim]Commodores with Chev badges[QUOTE]

have to agree there, yeah cause chev designed the car, sourced the parts, put it together and flogged it off

:

Getting charged for the stupidest things from the government, ie $15 bucks extra to re adjust the date of rego if rego is renewed after the end date

:

Drivers that point the finger at you when you overtake them because they're travelling 10 kays under the limit

:

People who label you as a hoon if you have an exhaust system yet still drive like a grandpa

:

ah so many more.....

70caprigt3k · 24-08-2008, 11:09 PM

+1 for the Chevrolet badged Holdens.
Why do people put Chevrolet badges on? What's the appeal?

I honestly don't understand people.

Saw some ballsack speeding on the Western Hwy in a Holden Ute...big A* sticker (Arnette?), Chevrolet badge, and altezzas on their rear lights.

I just don't like those fecking Chevrolet badges.

If this is true to form, maybe I'll go around to all the Barinas, tear the "Holden" and "Barina" badges off and replace them with "Daewoo" and "Kalos" badges respectfully.

You know what really grinds my gears? People in the 19th century. Why don't they get with the freakin program? It's called an automobile, folks. It's much faster than a horse!

PS: i don't understand the chev badges either but i don't feel any hate vibes when i see one

Gossip magazines STILL talking about Jennifer Aniston Despite her not having done anything in the past 5 years. Yeah we get it, Brad fked another sheila (& better looking one too) GET OVER IT!

Teenager morons who walk away from street racing car crashes unscathed while their hot as girlfriend slowly dies in the passenger seat.

Hot as chicks who date morons...

What about Nicole Kidman? The media can't get enough of her but just about every movie she's been in has been terrible.

As for the Chev badges on Holden thing, I've seen a Toyota Lexcen with Chev badges. So that's a Holden rebadged as a Toyota rebadged as a Chev!

I also get annoyed by slow people in the right lane and people who don't use indicators. I nearly slammed into a new Corolla a couple of days ago when the driver (who was nearly at a standstill) just dived into my lane without looking or indicating. I was going a lot faster than them and had to slam on the brakes to avoid them. It was a close one. I mean they shouldn't have done the lane change until it was safe but the lack of indicators made it worse. Honestly how hard is it to use them? All it is is laziness.

Poking my eye out.......... GRRR was doing gardenin today and I hurt my eye.. the palm frond point got me and it hurtsssssssssss grrr wont stop bloody watering

Abacus · 25-08-2008, 03:22 PM

What grinds my gears is:

- Knobs turning right at a traffic lights, who put their indicator on after the lights have turned from red to green, and cars have banked up behind them.

TC200six · 25-08-2008, 04:24 PM

You know what really ****ing grinds my gears?

Being a straight guy and stupid homo-phobics spreading rumours behind your back about you being gay when you're not. Those stupid lousy whores doing this to me, this is beginning to really p1ss me off to the extent that if I catch her defaming me again, I'll walk up to her and knock her unconscious. Although that was just a figure of speech, I really would not hit a female, but that really p1sses me off and I should not except someone doing that to me. In future I will try to resolve this problem without conflict.
