Just what is a bogan?

[vealesy]

Or intelligent. Machines and engineering amaze me.

Its a sliding scale. I am not a bogan, I just enjoy some bogan traits.

I have nfi how a car even works.

I've never owned a car.

 

[shurg123]

Yeah, well that has some kind of logic and purpose to it. The all-too-common "warming up" and "warming down" the car crap doesn't though.

If you actually want your engine to last a good 5-10 years without having issues, you should idle for about 30 seconds before leaving, as most wear-and-tear occurs during a cold start. You should also not rev it too much (I keep it below 2k) until it reaches proper operating temperature. The 'bogan' tag for this is hilarious, considering that the warm-up phase is most important for forced-induction vehicles, which are mostly JDM and never a V8. Far too many people have no idea how to take care of things that they've probably spent a fair bit of money on.

That's totally cool if it's during a reasonable hour, but revving and warming up a stuff at 4.30am for 10 minutes everyday is ridiculous especially if you are a whinny little bitch that then rings the cops on a neigbour for playing for playing music at the 'ungodly' hour of just before 10pm.

So much entitlement in only 3 lines of text, staggering.

so are you saying it is not necessary for a V8, making it unnecessary, therefore the act of revving the shit out of it (not simply idling) very bogan indeed.



Or an SV6 for bogan youth on their p's

same thing, except live at home bogan diddums sent their mummy around to tell me off for playing music at 12 in the arvo when he had night shift (he is seriously unemployed, I was gobsmacked the mum actually believes he has a job). Anyway that was a year ago so I've not played loud music since when they are home.

Then revving and subwoofers at 11 at night when they know my misses starts work at 5 and me at 6 when we ask them not to and dodging our polite requests with shit like "didn't know you could hear it"...

Haha your question turned into a statement halfway through, pretty funny. Idling a vehicle for a short amount of time is necessary if you want to avoid wear to the engine, regardless of how many cylinders it has, it's just MORE necessary for smaller forced-induction engines where the parts are put under even more strain at higher revs. 'Revving the shit out of it' is actually harmful to the engine when it's cold. But your idea that 'warming-up' an engine has no logical or scientific backing is supremely ignorant.

Funny how the 'bogan' tag is thrown around mostly by those who are borderline 'bogan' themselves. It's all relative, there is nothing more 'bogan' than being an elitist when you're only the second rung up on a very long ladder..

 

[The_Reaper]

Yep. You want Engineering, Science or Actuarial studies if its good coin you're after.

As a former Actuarial science student it's the most boring shit imaginable. The thought of doing it for the rest of my life did my head in. Some of the units such as the maths units and the investment science (using brownian motion etc) were interesting but the rest of it was just ****ed. Text books (which you had to buy from the London institute and despite costing $125 came as a stack of paper which you had to ****ing file yourself) were useless. They had only 1-2 partially worked solutions from problems where they skipped all the difficult steps. So it was very much a course where you were basically left alone to figure all the shit out yourself and the exams were an hour longer than exams for every other course plus were worth 70% (the university mandates that exams are only meant to be worth 50%). Plus the exams (which all had to be approved by the institute in London) bore only vague similarities to the text book problems and revolved around deriving your own equations and methods to solve problems on the spot.

I was on my last year of my degree and I had probably already decided to quit. I could still drag myself to lectures but couldn't bring myself to do anything productive.
I just couldn't give the slightest shit about it and when I missed my last exam of the semester it was a massive relief as I finally realised that I wanted to do something else with my life.
Drank for all of the next day at a mates place and passed out on the middle of Risley Street in Perth. Really took the monkey off my back.

Out of the 20-25 students who started the course with me only three or four actually graduated on time. It's a very unforgiving and draining course.

Though they are very good at weeding out those who aren't meant to be actuaries. In terms of making sure the people who make the grade are of sufficient quality it's great. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone though.

Well in terms of "warming up", most people who do it don't just sit there with the engine running. If that's all they did, other people probably wouldn't notice it.

There is no borderline bogan, to be a bogan you need to tick all the boxes. Yes, some interests and hobbies are certainly stereotypically bogan, but you either are or aren't.

I didn't mean to be ignorant, I was asking a question and was hoping you answered "no" and got carried away, turning it in to a statement, but you did say "never a V8" The general consensus here though is most people do not simply idle their vehicles but do push for maximum revs possible, without actually going anywhere. The bogan knows how to fit an exhaust or wire a subwoofer, but you seem much more educated mechanically than that.

You can blap it a bit.

What does "blap it" mean?

 

[vealesy]

Sorry, pardon my bogan.

There's MCC members, then there's general entry! Ya know what I mean!

AFL Members...where bogans think they are MCC.

In reality, they are s**tstain maggots

The last time I saw Roger was last year at the Boxing Day Test. He'd turned into such a fat, normal, yobbo c**t. "The wife nearly didn't let me out today" he said, and he did all that chanting yobs do, like "Ooh, aahh, Glenn McGrath". "It got you in the end" I thought to myself, as I looked at Roger. "Life got you in the end, pal. You were such a cocky, successful winner when we were 16, but now you're just another sad fat prick sitting in the M.C.G high-fiving in self-congratulation, as if it's you that had the skill and determination to play for Australia."

The only downside of the AFL stand is we have so many empty green seats spoiling our superior view.

that is a really good post and very interesting. I've been thinking of trying to do it part time, I was always a superstar at maths in high school but literally haven't touched a calculator since then (amazing I worked in finance/investment banking for ten years and never had to use any math, just sales skills, go figure)

 

[Hot Pocket]

My Mum's neighbour parks their $200,000 Porsche on their front lawn, instead of in their empty driveway. Cashed-up bogans gonna bogan.

haha my parents house is like that.

Two people, four cars (all Fords), two parked on the front lawn. Been that way since forever. Looks like Mexicans live there.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I have nfi how a car even works.

I've never owned a car.

Petrol and air are compressed and a spark is fired which causes a combustion, which generates energy that makes shit move.

That shit is connected to some other shit which is connected to some more shit which is connected to the wheels, and thus they go round and round and round when you put your foot down. Further you put your foot down, more air, more petrol, more sparks, goes faster.

You're welcome.
