Probably because they are a foot wider than cars.

At 2.1m, you'd be lucky to fit one between the lines @ 2.4, given the manoeuvre space.

Shouldn't be allowed on the roads tbh
lol this reminds of when
I was in a tyre store once.

There was a guy who whipped in a ford f450 taking up 2 of the stores designated 4 spots.

The manager fuming went outside to tell the guy all about it. The driver gets out of the car and happens to be a 7ft built as a bricks***house guy wearing a coffin cheaters jacket.

Needless to say the managers anger Emotion face turned into a nervous smile and walked straight back into the store without a peep said.
 
You really have to wonder Lou why anyone would want to drive a Hummer around the suburbs.
I just don't get how people see something like that as a prestige symbol, but apparently some do. o_O

It's black and chromey. Gangsta mofo.

I know the Feels of the world like their bush bashing but yeah, Hummers are wank.

So I'm driving North along Holbrooks road this evening. I'm approaching the lights about 400m before Grange road. The lights turn green and the only car there, an old white small Ford hatchback possibly or some similar non-descript commuter just sits there, brake lights on.
I'm still 150m away. A 4WD about 50m in front of me in the same (left) lane as the hatch changes lanes to go around and immediately after, the drivers door of the hatch opens.
I ease off the gas thinking it might be broken down, ready to offer a push out of the intersection when the female driver leans out and proceeds to vomit all over the road.

I cruise on by.

Seconds later the car departs the intersection and continues North along Holbrooks. I pull up at the Grange road lights to turn right and the hatch goes past on the inside to turn left with the driver chugging away on a ciggie.

I wondered if a passenger in the SUV that went past called the cops though cos as I turned right an unmarked cop car flicked on the blues and took off in the same direction as the hatch.

I was hoping that's what happened anyway.
 
Is there another country in the world that plasters the name of its cities all over the back end of its tennis courts etc they way Australia does? Can't say I've ever seen it anywhere else, not that I watch much tennis if any. But I have noticed it's done in every Australian city that hosts a tennis match. Can't say I've ever seen "New York", "London", or "Paris" painted on the floor at the other major tournaments.

No one does provincial parochialism quite like Australia.

I recall that when Adelaide had the F1 the track was done up with the South Australian colours - I'm pretty sure every other venue does their national colours. International viewers may have got the impression that Adelaide is in Romania, or Ecuador.

Was that back when the state government was running with "Sensational Adelaide"?

Or if you watch tennis it's just basil saying the rod laver arena roof is closed and it's very humid for the ****ing fortieth time.

Miss feel was doing work on her laptop in the other room and she exclaimed "thanks basil, i was getting worried there since it had been a few minutes and I was eagerly awating an update on whether the roof was closed and if it was humid."

Or the personal favourite of the commentators "This is a HA-UUUUGEE moment in the match" meanwhile it's 30-30 in the opening game.
 
My favourite memory of Keating was from his life story, which was shown on the ABC a few years back.

He is obviously no fan of suburban 4 wheel drivers, and actually referred to them as boneheads. :thumbsu:

He followed that up by saying, if he was still in power he would tax them senseless, or words to that effect.
Then he made the comment, that every time he saw a suburban 4 wheel driver, he would say there goes another bonehead! :rolleyes:

Anyone who has ever been hemmed in, in a shopping centre car park by those P.O.S., or has attempted to drop kids off at school, when there are 5 or 6 of them taking up 10 parking spaces because their 3 wheeler drivers can't even steer the f****** things in a straight line, will know exactly where PK was coming from.

Geez I nearly lost it there for a while! ;)

There needs to be an SUV/4WD licence class.

As it stands people can get their accreditation in a Corolla and it allows them to legally spud it up in a Landcruiser that's twice the size. It makes absolutely no sense.

If you can't pass the standard practical test in an SUV, reverse parralel parking included, then you have no business being on the road in one.

Simples.
