VZ SV6 rims on VR commodore

[Commo64]

I think they tend to pull over older commodores rather than new commodores. I had not been pulled over ever in my old VE SV6. Granted the exhaust was not over the top and the car’s exterior was stock

Yep, I should've included "older" in my reply...

Wouldn't say that.....I do a heap of kays with my VC and the coppers tend to take one glance and that's it...

Driving to work, I drive straight past a cop shop around start up time.....Only been pulled up twice in 10 years in my VC heading to work driving past that shop...Lost count of the number of coppers I've driven past though

More likely to be pulled over with a red and white plate than you are based on what you drive.

Nope, wouldn't say that.....

You are more likely to be pulled over by driving like a dick, or the car looks like it's ready for the local track, with the exhaust system, big wheels, dropped on its guts.....

A nice clean stock looking car, they look once and keep going, especially with red plates on the front and back......

I think he was more referring to the 90's and early 2000's Commodores... You'd expect VC Commodores to be not owned by hoons and P-Platers now days...

Doesn't really matter the era car, including Commodores, if they look like a hoon mobile, or you drive like an idiot a copper will pull you up....

You have a nice clean stock looking car and drive sensibily, even with p plates, a copper will glance and keep going, no matter the era car...

Unfortunately for what ever reason, the young p platers buy these 90's 2000's era Commodores and yes being young modify them as we all did, and then proceed to drive a little crazy...This then brings them to the attention to the coppers and what happens happens.

Back years ago, with us elderly members now, we would modify our cars, maybe act like idiots and generally we would get the boot up the ass from the copper and told to pull our heads in...Or at the very least, the copper waving the finger at us to give us the hint, pull your head in pal before we pull it in for you

Now that sort of behavour is frowned upon by the coppers, so they see a modified car, which we saw as acceptible, deem it to be unacceptible and tend to come down hard on the driver. Very rarely do they give that nasty finger wave....They let the pen do the talking

So the best course of action to save drawing any unwanted attention is, keep the car tidy, stock looking, stock sounding and a copper won't look twice because this era Commodore is the "go to" modifying p plater style car

How old are you not how it went down in Victoria in the early 90's that revenue collector fined me every time it pulled me over which was often .

Depends on your personal experience, but I know people who've owned old completely stock Commodores (they were VN's BTW), weren't P-Platers, and weren't driving like idiots, but were getting pulled over a bit more than usual... After they got rid of their VN's, they had no problems...
