Why is it so fun racing bogans in their hotted up bogan cars at lights?

I love when there is idiots reviving their beefed up cars at lights, when you know they have probably spent a ridiculous amount of money trying to make it as beefed up and loud as they possibly can. You just have to edge forward a little little bit and you know they are going to try and race you off at the lights. Into sport mode we go, and they get left in the dust while I chuckle to myself. Of course I then have to put the brakes on because I actually don’t want to be speeding, and then at that point they go racing past well over speed limit trying to regain their pride. I mean you would think given how far they are behind you, they could see that your brake lights have gone on 😂 It is petty, and silly, but it brings me just a little bit of entertainment.

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

skr80 2026-01-26 00:47

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’

Purple-Intern9790 2026-01-26 01:52

lol, imagine bragging about being an Atto3, in an STI…

Bigbanghead 2026-01-26 02:00

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

net_fish 2026-01-26 02:01

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

Pinkfatrat 2026-01-26 02:05

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

shadjor 2026-01-26 02:07

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.

CBlackstoneDresden 2026-01-26 02:16

Sorry to hear about your STI

Blankbusinesscard 2026-01-26 03:22

Cant spell Ranger without anger

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.

cwowley 2026-01-26 03:35

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.

RedDirtNurse 2026-01-26 04:20

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

timmense 2026-01-26 06:25

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 2026-01-26 06:27

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.

timmense 2026-01-26 06:32

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

wilson11117 2026-01-26 09:15

Done the same. Isn’t it fun. 😀

Avyelle 2026-01-26 10:09

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 😂

markinperth 2026-01-26 10:13

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

mhummel 2026-01-26 10:43

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?"

marsoups 2026-01-26 12:03

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

MrManny 2026-01-26 15:22

This does not sound plausible to me. How did you arrive at that conclusion?

Plenty_Venom 2026-01-26 19:42

I do the same 😆

threespire 2026-01-26 21:44

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…

markinperth 2026-01-27 00:09

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

Former-Inflation-546 2026-01-28 15:44

Someone who boasts about these things are the bogan😂
