They make hot birds look worse.

You know what looks best in hot birds? Nothing. Tattoos are like an Ed Hardy accessory you can never remove.

Didn't it mean it like that, was a genuine question.

Though I will also accept that you think I'm that witty.

Oh I thought you were implying I was the daughter or the grandmother.

I’m a bit sensitive today.

I had them all over well chest arms back and legs anyway. Almost back to a point I can wear a t-shirt and shorts and you can’t see any.

I saw a Bentley SUV the other day. Yep, even they've succumbed.

The Jaguar one is the best I’ve seen

That's what I thought this one was at first, until I saw the badge.

Ferrari is making one FFS. We are truly in the end times.

Yeah i reckon Ed and Paps are kidding themselves at turning their noses up at that.

There's a difference between something not being exactly to liking and turning ones nose up at it.

I prefer a VK Commodore to a VL but if someone offered me a Turbo I'm taking it and running. Or driving. That would make more sense.

So you had a bit of everything? Didn't go the full Dane Beams?

Dane Swan's tattoos actually look like something an enthusiast would get, but Beams... Dice. Spider web elbow. Flames. Southern Cross. It's like boss level bogan bingo.

Dwayne Russell's NBL commentary is just as bad as his AFL commentary.

And people thought society was doomed when Holden was selling 100k commodores a decade back.

Now even the most prestigious brands in the world are looking to tap in to that soccer mum market.

They're just giving the people what they want. Ferrari don't even sell manual cars anymore.

All the hot birds in sundresses at Bunnings with a butterfly on their ankle must be devastated that the middle aged blokes on bigfooty aren't interested

VL Calais with the V8 punching out a massive 130kw... Yeah baby

Hey my V8 punches out about that!

It's also 15 years older and 50 cubes smaller though.

Brock's VKs were putting out close to 200kw with the same engine.

'nobody wants manual anymore'

Every car review I've watched recently

'the proper manual gearbox is fantastic in this car (HSV) and offers a true driving experience'

But edgie, most people don't want a true driving experience!

Well mate, I reckon those who are buying a Ferrari do, and if they are just casual motorists, then there is officially too much money in the world.

My bad it was actually 122kw

The 2.0l JE Camira pulled 86kw in a lighter frame

Phwoar now that's a gear stick

And look at all those tactile buttons

 

[Grave Danger]

Ha - I'd just finished my evening cuppa when that very product came up on the news as being recalled due to ethylene oxide contamination. Luckily my pack is outside the use-by date range mentioned in the article, which is just as well as I'm 2/3 of the way through the pack.

Depends on your definition of manual. You still select each gear just not in the traditional way. Their core purpose is building sports cars and all the best racing categories use this technology, so that makes sense to me.

What doesn’t make sense is four doors and a boot that’s big enough for a pram and the weekly shop. That’s about as far away from who they are as they can get. It’s their Southern Power moment.

Another thing I mute the volume. It is beyond me that he gets a gig!

You can never have too many buttons! Or sticks! Or levers!

The Millennium Falcon didn't have a touch screen and neither shall any car of mine!

Cars that I could afford in high school and were relatively common back then are worth a shitload now

I wonder what today's equivalent vehicles are

Lambo made a 4x4 and it didn't diminish their rep.
