never said how many i have seen, only seen about 4 mustangs with neons, and 3 around the Richmond area...Seen one skyline around the Richmond area, other than that the only other place (besides my driveway) I've seen any car with neons is in ballarat (can't remember what they were)
But the first car I ever saw (in real life) with neons was my second cousin who had them on his BMW about 10 years ago, next time I saw was on a black Mustang driving around richmond

The main reason people associate neons with ricers is because of Fast and the Furious

And when your out at the time I work you see any kind of car...so the fact I have seen so many mustangs isn't that hard

wouldnt be surprised if you have no idea what a mustang looks like. probably confusing them with a corolla or something. someone that spends 30k+ to buy an old one, or even more for a new one, isnt going to make it look **** with those lights.

sumed up well A+

i will admit my commodore is low(39mm to the ground) so i need to take speed bumps on the angle, but most of them have 95mm+ of clearance, there just trying to act hard.
my suspension is about practicality and handling, it handles like a v8 super car(which is mint, except when you street corner and lift 1 wheel off the ground :p)

39mm ground clearance and it is about practicality!? Would hate to see an unpractically low car

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the fluffy toys? All the tweety birds and mickey mice that line the dash and parcel tray. Even the guys do it... I asked someone i know with an rx8 why he did it and he reckons the chicks dig it.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. How the hell is 39mm practicle in anyway?
I havent measured the VK's ride height but I recon it would be close to 300mm, now thats practicle. Still handles fine for a daily driver in all conditions, and handles the bush tracks with everything still intact on the other end. Never once have have I been worried about going over a speed bump or up a drive way.

What... its practical when you drive on a basketball court??

What suspension have you got in the car for it to be 39mm off the ground? Caus Unless its bagged I'm gonna have to call BS on that.

In which case your not going to "performance".

39mm... lol...
