SLW42 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 move to tasmania then... Now i wonder how that happened :) My car is on the black list because it is loud (both exhaust and stereo), and the previous owner which had it before me was a young bloke aswell, I have been caught speeding 2 times, pulled over countless times and I have only owned the car for just over 3 yrs. I have been defected once. As for moving to Tasmania no thanks, I lik bris to much :y: just not ther police force ( I know "there only doing there job") but why harras(unsure about speeling) a young bloke just driving a loud car doing nothin wrong instead of actually saving someone's life or looking for missing kids or something, I just think it is a waste of time them hiding and jumping down the throats of people not doin anything wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And another thing If they gave us 1 or 2 place's were we could legally go and skid, drag, drift then we wouldnt hav such a drama lik Talai, where the races start and go down the highway in QLD, GIVE US SOMEWHERE TO DO THAT KINDA STUFF LEAGALLY not just the drag strip, one on one racing is kinda boring.

orangeLJ Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 At the end of the day though, you are doing something wrong by driving a car that doesnt meet the set regulations. You take a risk when doing so hell I could probably be pinged for things on my torana, but I take that risk, and accept the fact that if they legitimately defect something on my car, then its my own fault for either being in the wrong place with my car, doing something wrong, or the simple fact that I knew something was not legal on the car (come to think of it, there isnt a whole lot they could actually get me for, but on my Ps there would have been a whole lot of problems) I used to get pulled up in my old VR all the time. Why? because it was low, loud, I was on P plates and I hung around the areas known for alot of dickheads. The amount of times the coppers tried to find cut springs, or worn shocks or bald tyres, or anything really, was hilarious. They never found ANYTHING to defect me on, and when they tried for things like seatbelts not retracting, I had the seatbelt paragraph from the registration station handbook photocopied in my glovebox (they got my brother for that once, so we started to become prepared!) Its all about your attitude and how you go about it, do the wrong thing, expect to get pinged eventually. I lost my licence last year for 3 different offences, it wasnt much fun being taxid everywhere by my missus, and I don't plan to lose it again in the near future! (have 12 points now though!) Quote
Lexxi[ke35] Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) You know what really makes me angry? I'm sitting here at my boyfriend's house for 5 hours three nights a week while he works, with nothing at all to do except browse the interwebs for nothing in particular, because this is all his house is set up for - sitting here on the computer all day. Now I'm trying to eat this chocolate from a christmas stocking his brother gave him and it is clearly from The Reject Shop or something [its all white and bubbly and looks like its been melted and then hardened up in stupid positions] even though its like $3 from Woolies! I understand that if you can get something cheaper for the same quality or the same thing, that you would, but his family takes this to a whole new level. Like my family isn't rich, but my boyfriend's family's entire house is fully decked out in kmart and cheap as chips and it just looks so cheaply built and furnished and it just annoys me. Like they still have a mortgage and only his mum works at the moment [she's a nurse on a minimum wage and he quit his job coz he doesn't like other people having authority over him] so they have very little money circulating at the moment, yet they still go out and buy these cheap and nasty little lanterns and an outdoor setting and a little swing chair thing because they try to make their house look nice, but don't wait until they have the money to do it properly. I know I sound like a full on shallow bitch right now, but I have 2 years of watching them waste their money unnecessarily on the CRAPPEST things [and not spending a cent on their kids except food] to vent.

JiP Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Welcome to my world. I pay all my parents bills to help them out. All they have to fund is food and mortgage. It shits me to tears cause they spend whatever spare money they have on crap. Just like your boyfriends family, cheap nasty crap they don't need. Or it may be to improve the house but makes it look worse... Tho I'm no better. I start working on something around the house, don't finish and move onto another job. I have finished a few things lately tho. Like the outside power outlet and the wall hanging fan. :y: Mum loves it :) Quote
Lexxi[ke35] Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Haha I love the odd tiles. :y: And it just annoys me because Eddy's had to pay for anything he wants [which isn't much at all except car stuff these days] since he was like ten, including shoes and clothes, and if he wants something food-wise that his parents don't like he has to pay for it himself, so when my parents buy me things, and because my parents pay for basically everything on my car but fuel, he thinks I'm this full on spoilt brat and it makes him angry at me, even though I'm plenty grateful for everything my parents give me coz when I was younger we didn't have much money to spend. So what I'm saying is, his parents' tightness causes him to think less of me, which causes problems between us and just isn't fair. Like, his dad gave him some LED brake lights [which were like $2] and Eddy thought he was giving them to him, and a couple months later he asked him to pay him back for them. Its just ridiculous.

Tume Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 WGMG is something that might seem a bit stupid but.... !TOURISTS! Yes I live in a place that is world known at the moment called the Barossa because of the Tour Down Under..however I didnt realise that having people riding bicycles meant that car drivers could become lax in how they drive and paying attention to the speed signs! Yes, if there are changed speed limits then do that limit, or if you are near bikes then slow down for sure to make sure everyone involved are safe...BUT. Braking from 100 to 40 straight after a hill where you are being followed by traffic is not right! Or....completely stopping after a corner to check your map....while still on the road! On a brighter side note I now know for sure that the corolla can brake quickly in case of emergencies. (just have to try and find the silver lining sometimes). Quote
JiP Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Back onto the topic of political correctness. I'm shocked that kids still have tempory tattoos. I would have thought that they would have become the next Fads and become Decals or something. Quote
Trev Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 I have had mx xbox 360 for 3 years, after 11 months it got the ROD (ring of death) so i sent it away and 11 months later it happened again, now i dunno if the last time was 11 months ago but it has it for a third time, this is really starting to give me the sh1ts.

JiP Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Congrats to Unco Tobys, you've made my Grinde list. Your buttered pop corn tastes like shit. Where is the phucking butter! Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 :yak: GO TO BED, OR LEARN HOW TO SPELL!! Back to Lexxi's gripe, I always had a problem with people who's parents brought them cars when I was young. This was mostly because my family was well below the poverty line. Several years ago, when my Mum was doing a lot better, she lent me $16K to buy mine and my wifes cars. Then when I went to pay her back she said they were a gift!! I bawled, that car ment so much to me (until it got rearended :y:). Then she loaned me money to help get a house (I was in the group of young people who got royally screwed by the government. $7k first home buyers and no relief from stamp duties, and an old 3+1 in a bad area was well over $300K). Now my Mum and her (not so smart) new husband have lost almost all of their life savings (buying and selling land) and had to put their house up for sale on Christmas eve. Her 50th is today, and they have a home open today. I still owe them money, but this was always a loan for 3 years (ending Nov 09), at which time I am allowed to redraw on my mortgage to pay them back. I can't afford to pay any sooner, any they would never ask me to. I feel terrible oweing them money and watching them loose their home. My Mum has always been a stay at home parent, or worked volentry as an advocate for people with disabilities. Now she has had to start working as a carer. Everyone forgot to plan something for her 50th (including me), so I had to quickly organise a dinner for her and try to get hold of people I hadn't seen for 10+ years, with 4 days notice. Managed to get most of them, so I really hope it cheers her up! Quote

Geez they are tight arses, it is unfare that you bare some jelously lexxi, some people need to sit back and reflect on how they treat their children sometimes. I was never given anything over $50 a year in birthday presents, but mum and dad did pay for clothes and food until i was 16. They once gave me 300 bucks becuase they payed for my brother to go on a school camping trip. If i wanted money i went on the dole and did odd jobs around the places until i managed to secure a apprenticeship at 18, then everything was great from there. Never had a loan from parents for houses or cars but i do live in SA so most of my cars have cost me btween 100-3000 at any time and houses were 180-220k in my area when i bought. Some parents can go overboard with buying cars ect for their kids, but think about this when some parents were young they had nothing and living condtions were bad and they just want to give their kids the security they never had.
