dunno about down your way guys but candy pink paintjobs seem to keep popping up everywhere around here. There's a few lancers, a pajero and a stato that I know of in rocky alone.

makes me feel bad for the guy driving, even if he doesn't...

Debadging... Everytime I see it's due to someone ashamed of their Executive or Kia or whatever said:
i havent debadged my car yet..but i want to and not for the fact its a executive, i personally dont like the v6 badges under the blinker on the guard..they collect alot of dirt and wat not..and the rear badges (commodore and executive) will be coming off because it looks cleaner with just the holden badge

I'll add a new one. Simmons rims. If there is one way to make your car look like a bogan ghetto cruiser then throw on a set of Simmons wheels.

Altezza's are pure ****, as are Chev badges.

What is so great about Chev? In the USA all they sell are bland front wheel drive crap boxes. Why would you put the bowtie on a car that is significantly better than anything else they produce? The best car they make is the Corvette and even that doesn't even class as a Chevrolet now that Corvette has become a brand in its own right. The best car sold as a 'Chevrolet' with the bowtie is the rebadged commodores that get sent off to the middle east. Unless you live in the middle east, have some pride in the bloody lion.

They're multiplying like rabbits....pimped up Jap vans and tray tops, with air bag suspensions dragging their arses all over the place. I just don't get it, cause I'm sure they all still have the same 17 hamster power engines they were born with. Definitely a fad.

i agree with you. a Yank chev car today is a rebadged DAEWOO in USA. i think the reason aussies love to use chev badges is because the chev BOWTIE badge represents the small block chev V8 (over many variations!) ...that has been kicking serious azz for over 40 years. Chev = Winner in Aust. thats why they love the badge.
