Heh, I can see the attraction, but don't want to potentially get involved in some bogan road rage incident.

Yeah, it’s not something I do very often for that exact reason, but occasionally I can’t help myself…

Yeah, my 17 year old STi leaves the Atto3 in the dust, just sayin

A cautionary stat I got from a cop friend. Around 50% of the tradies they pull over ping a positive test for meth. there is a good reason all of their cars say Anger across the back of them in big bold letters. Their best advice was to avoid them where possible

I live for it in my shark. It has that same feeling as ‘beating up the bullies’

Isn't 50% just normal for meth in America? Car or not.

I should have said, In Australia, and the car in question is a Ford Ranger :)

Well not even racing, but just the take off at the lights for 0-60 with out any real effort.

You never know, you could be the highlight of their meth filled day as they beat you in a race you didn't even know was happening while running ECO mode as you pull away slowly from the lights.

It is but i had a huge narrow escape and its my ego that caused it. Lined up on inside lane at lights, outside lane merges across the lights, guy in hotted up older celica came to lights, revving engine, im in a Phev fwd, we take off, cross the lights, he still trys to get in front, we are going two abreast in single lane in a 60 zone, we hit 107 when i noticed road side speed camera, i crapped myself, at same time other guy, turns into a work driveway (why he needed to be in front when only going 300metres or so??) anyway, i thought my stupid ego has probably cost me my liscence. Since then ive downloaded Waze into car, try to religiously keep to speed limit and watch my bad EGO. Surprisingly after 2 months, i have not received a fine and ive seen other guy still in road so for some reason the camera was not operating. So yes its fun but its also stupid (from a stupid person)

You're too immature and dangerous to be on public roads. Consider handing your licence in.

I have a little giggle too. Alway a bit of fun and I remember being young and having a little souped up rice burner. Brings back memory’s but with a bit more awareness/responsibility

Off the line, in my Shark6 Ive smoked a few bogans in their skylines, a few tradies in their 4 bangers vans, several ute drivers in Raptors and even Tesla m3s have wanted a go. Sport mode is glorious.

What's the correct rate of acceleration to reach the speed limit again, I can't recall?
Enlighten me, please.

It was prob a fake speed camera, just an empty box. In Waze they’re marked with red cross’s. good that it taught you to get your head out
Prestigious-Ball-435

Nope big moble one with the high telescope, definitely not fake and i didnt have waze then. And im guessing you are perfect and never gave into ego at all by your last comment.

Calm down sensitive sally, I was just saying it taught you a valuable lesson.

Oh I total get that feeling. We have one of those heroes in our village. Needed to get a super expensive beefed up car (compensating much?). Our Atto3 pricewise ~ half of his car.
I can't really surpass him but neither can he surpass me 😂 he's so pissed about that, always tries to overtake me but just doesn't work. How I love sport-mode 😂
Meanwhile I'm cruising directly behind him (safety space ofc) with a friendly wave and a smile 😂

They probably spent less than you did purchasing your BYD to be fair

Which car do you think Kristen Scott Thomas would prefer to be seen in going to the BAFTAs? ;)
The Atto: "Oh, glad you managed to drop the kids off to football practice before coming here".
The STI: "You must have taken the scenic route - a lot of tight corners on the M1?"

anti EV folks hate it. Most of them are so pro ICE (excuse the pun)

I don’t bother any more because I don’t have anything to prove - most of the time I’m fine with the car in eco mode…

Byd sharks cost ~$58k. The average idiot bogan does not spend anywhere near that hotting up their vehicles.
