Damn I love Holden!

[jakbob]

So I've spent my Saturday night at home watching the tenth rerun of independence day. Lousy America saves the world flick. Drinking out of a Holden glass, alternating between M'Callums Scotch Whisky and Dry Ginger and Father O'Learys Velvet Cream. Father O'Learys? What the hell is a man of the cloth doing making cheap booze? Cheapest stuff I could find at Dan Murphy's anyhow.
Its a sad state of affairs. Anyways, I was looking at the glass, and decided I'd make my first drunk post. And profess my love for the lion. I really love holden. I don't like that nearly every damn thing they sell is a korean shitbox. But one name always shines through. Commodore! As long as they can they sell an Australian rwd 6 or 8 cylinder sedan I'll be loyal. I wsh we could go back to the days where they were all australian. I wish they would make another torana. A twin turbo ls2 in something the size of a lancer would go down a real treat. Damn the shitty economic climate! I hope rwd australian vehicles never die! Its a damn shame American ones did. Once upon a time they made some damn fine large rwd v8 sedans. Now they make mostly shitobox fwd crap like dodge neons. I guess we'll either go down the same track or we'll make no cars at all. Chinese cars for all!
Now I'm doing velvet creame and scotch shots. Half and half. Kind of like a cement mixer.
Damn I need to get a life. Next thing I'll be drinking scotch straight from the bottle. And now I'm listening to kesha. I need help.
I even like fords! Anything australian or american rwd/4wd with 6 or 8 cylinders is a good thing. If only yankee stuff didn't have the steering wheel on the wrong side.
You know I never used to be a holden man. My parentsalways had land cruisers. Wasn't till my dad got a vx commodore as a company car that I started to see the light. I used to be a blind land cruiser fan. Till I realised that 99% of the time they needed tobe driven on the road. Who wants some bloody gutless japanese thing that wanders all over the road and handles like a sack of potatoes when you can have a commodore? Until you actually strike some really rough stuff a land cruiser is hopeless. And even then only if its had some serouis coin spend on lifted suspension, tyres, diff locks etc.
Then I bought a VC. Always thought the old pre vn commodores were nothing exciting and a bit ugly, till I bought one. Now I love them to bits. Except the vl's. Vls can burn in hell. But vb - vk = win. I love them to bits. I bought a Vc in 2007 and I'm still driving her. She might have buggered paint, she might run rough, she might have rust, but she's my girl, and she hasn't let me down yet. Except for a stripped dissy gear, and even then she had the good sense to wait until I had a spare car handy before she let go. I'll never let her go, I'll take her off the road soon and fix her up, but she'll never see the wrong side of a wrecking yard. She's my baby.
Been in the family since the day she rolled out of the factory.

And I've drunk to much. Sorry to anyone who bother ed to read al the way trhough. I didn't want to offend anybody. But most of what i've written rings true

Ahhh good times with Friday and Saturday nights.

[Verynice]

He has better spelling and grammar when hes drunk compared to certain/some sober people on here.

[Astranomical]

Whats the bet that he's going to wake up tomorrow morning with a sore head, see this post, get embarrassed and delete it straight away?

[jakbob]

Well my heads not that sore. Guess I'm lucky there. I won't delete it just yet. It serves as a good example of why you shouldn't drink and post.

yeah why get the landcruiser when you can get a commodore that needs to be driven on the road 100% of the time and still wanders all over the road and handles like a sack of potatoes

Go take a land cruiser for a drive then a commodore then come back and tell me which handles better.

[CANYONERO]

well i own both, 75 series cruiser and a series 2 vt ss

if the cruiser had the ls1 and a 4 way rtc steering damper it would be right up there with handling caractaristics of any large sedan, once you can control the bump steer (im guessing you had a problem with little rocks :P) then they are easy to drive

My vito drives better than any commodore I have ever owned

[jakbob]

I learned to drive in a 75 series ute and an 80 series wagon. Both na diesel and gutless as all hell. The 80 series handled a bit better due to having coil springs as apposed to leaf front and rear like the 75. I found them quite ok until I bought my commodore and found I didn't need to slow to a crawl to go around corners or boil the kettle and have a cup of tea while I waited to get to the speed limit. It was a revelation.
I'm not saying there aren't plenty of other vehicles around that will out handle a commodore. It just annoys me when people make out like they are the worst handling 4 wheeled vehicle ever made. You could do a lot worse.

they're not the greatest either unless you're writing an advertisement for holden

You should work for GM's marketing mob - I can picture the adverts for the VF now "The all new Holden Commodore... at least it handles better than a Land Cruiser"
