Camerown3d!

Dad's gonna put a lien on junior's allowance.

I literally said out loud "No! Please no!" Why couldn't he crash a regular 360, and why did it let him live?

Boohoohoo

"It is his love. It is his passion"
"It is his fault he didn't lock the garage."

A dingo crashed my car

You killed the car, Cameron.

Tricolori becomes Tridolori

Seriously, I'm done for the day. I mean that.

@AshOfTheTitans:Shit, I missed yours. Do stop for the day so I don't do that again.

Aussie news anchors can't be taken seriously.

But Aussie lady cops are smoking hot.

Junior soon realized that Rosso Corsa was no match for pussy-magnet yellow (sorry, Giallo Fly) when it came to pulling, and only his kinetic parking skills were good enough to get the lovely Constable Floyd's attention.

@beercheck: She's got me under pressure.

First, that cop chick was hottt.

Second, he must have been going pretty effing fast to have done all that.

I once snuck out my moms Diplomat one night, after my idiot friend Billy convinced me that 'everyone has to steal their parents car at least once'. So I put a dummy made of socks and a volleyball in my bed (one too many episodes of Saved By The Bell), and off I went. Of course, my master plan never actually considered the fact that the driveway was directly under their bedroom window, and they promptly noticed the car was missing. The dummy actually worked a bit too well, because before calling the police to report the car stolen, they looked in my room to check on me, and saw that I was there.

Its all funny now, but believe me, nobody was laughing at the time.

There's no way, there's no God damn way that you came from my loins! When we get home remind me to punch your mamma in the mouth.

If this had happened in the U.S. of Ay, the newscaster would have commented as to whether alcohol had been a factor in the crash.

This having occurred in Australia, I think that's a given.

In fact, I think the news anchor is pretty lit in that clip as well.

Ferris: "If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I"

If I have a car like that when my son is a teenager, I would lock the keys in a safe.

Hey, remember how mad he got when I broke my retainer? Come on, that was just a little piece of plastic. This is a Ferrari.

I'll never forget the day I found out that the key to my Datsun 510 fit perfectly in my dads 1967 E-type roadster. It even fit the locking gas cap. We used to take my little brother for a ride around the block a couple of time to keep him from squealing on us and then we were off. It's lucky I never wrecked it although I did drive it over a curb once. The damage to the undercarriage went unnoticed until recently as it is being restored. I never got caught but my little brother did years latter and promptly told my dad about how I taught him how to do it.

@B: Holy cow, yeah! Man, I bet your butt was red for a week just over that little piece of plastic.

Good thing he didn't crash the Pontiac!

Maybe he was driving backwards to try to trick the odometer

"Aren't you at least going to frisk me Constable?"

@AshOfTheTitans: Even tho it pains me to say it (wait for it)

...That was a good one, Constashnza!

In the words a the fresh prince,Parents just don't understand......

Midnight Embroil!

Funny thing, throughout my childhood, Dad was always a Corvette guy. But as soon as my brother and I hit our car-driving teens, Dad was sporting an Olds Toronado.

Yeah, since I am only 3 mos. into this parenting thing, I haven't figured out yet if my parents were lazy, naieve..neive...NIE-EVE!!, or actually setting a trap for me all those nights where they went out, and left the spare set of keys in plain sight.

Once my kid gets to age 12, all keys will be under lock and key.

You gotta fight. For your right. To party.

Obvy dad is rich, I'm sure he can get another set of wheels. I would be curious to know what the punishment turns out to be.
Actually, no, I'm not. I don't care. Life is too short to worry about such things.

You guys have it all wrong, the newscaster said the car hit the pole, not the driver. It wasn't his fault.

@SundaySunday: But you can hoon those too. We had a 68 Mercury Monterey with the monster 4bbl in it and one day my father said, "Any idea why those rear tires are wearing out so fast? Have you been racing that?" I confessed, my father being rather cool at the time. He said, "Well?"
I said "Well what?"
"Well, did you win?"

Reason #14 to save your conspicuous consumption until AFTER the kids have left for good.

Borrowing the family rig without permission. Good times. Good times. A few years ago one of the offroad mags had an article on what to do, what not to do, and when to suck it up and call for adult help when hooning the family 4x4. They were so right on about the mud thing. My brother and I laughed for hours….

Question here... Is there any unattractive chicks in Australia? Oh damn I'd speed just to get arrested by her!

Oh wait was was the video about?

If there's a chick named Floyd, then were there any jokes at her birth about Pink Floyd?

I'd kill to have someone with her accent. And maybe consider crashing a Ferrari(though not a 360CS).

@Feds: But where will THOSE keys be? Hmm?

@walt_chisel: Beautiful!

COTD right here, please!

@Feds: "Once my kid gets to age 12, all keys will be under lock and key."

There's a certain, Je ne sai quais, deja vous, circular, meta, redundancy, Je ne sai quais, deja vous, circular, meta, redundancy, Je ne sai quais, deja vous, circular, me...

I just can't quite get my head wrapped all the way around that one. Maybe I need lunch.

Well it started with me taking my Grandmother's car when she was sleeping at about 13 and progressed to me making a spare set of keys and taking my mother's BMW at about 15.

I never wrecked though. Although initially I overlooked the locking gas key and had to steal the keys a second time to get one of those made.

I didn't get in a lot of trouble but I got in enough that my father and stepbitch emancipated me so they wouldn't be liable (hah). He wouldn't sign for me to get a license either. I walked out of the house at 16 and never came back to live.

I visited him twice a year for about 25 years after that, birthday and Christmas. He divorced her and now I see him every month or two (it's a 400 mile round trip now instead of 20).

I would have wrecked a Ferrari, given half a chance. Fuck 'em.

"The driver only has minor injuries. Obviously his dad hasn't caught up with him yet."

Subtle child abuse jokes on the evening news. I love the Aussies.

@Novaload: Oh, I know. Actually, I remember both my grandfather and dad talking about how in high school, Dad's modded up '57 Bel Air was the "fastest car in town."

I think his teen years experiences combined with my brother and my fondess for all things fast led to his purchasing a more sedate car.

Of course, later he did purchase an '84 Charger for me to do the family taxi duty in, and I was able to do some high school hoonery. Thanks, Dad!

I took out my dad's brand new red and white beauty he ordered a couple of weeks before I turned 16. But it was a full-sized 1979 Dodge p'up. I prompty scraped the driver side fender wheel arch to the primer on some barrels. I had read in Car Craft? to use a paper match to fill in paint scratches, and both colors were included with the truck. When I came home from school Mom said Dad was in a bad mood. He had gone to the Dodge dealership and let the bodyshop have it for the crappy pre-delivery touch-up. They buffed it out. I told no one, but you.

And I felt bad when the dash on my Dad's GMC mysteriously got busted one night...

And can we see more of Officer Hottie?

Please tell me it was really an MGB...please! Any variety of Fierri would do.

@cargogh: that's a long time to keep that inside, do you feel relieved from sharing?

@Froggmann:

After being down there a few years back on holiday, I can say the female population is both well-above average in the looks and intelligence departments. Plus, there is a natural beauty which appears to be rewarded, as if you see a woman with obviuos makeup on her face, she stands out as not belonging.

I was surprised how many blond women there were, too. Natural, as well, or they were damned good at doing both roots and eyebrows....

Bueller!

Like the Falcon GT, this thing is probably already impounded and up for auction. Seeing as how it's taken the blow to the front of the car, that means there's a perfectly fantastic electrohydraulic shift transmission and a dam fine V8 in this puppy that are probably unscaithed. Oh man...the project ideas are endless/boundless.

@DeadFlorist: nice!

Damn! I got my ass chewed for 'only' blowing the driveshaft out of Dad's 396 4spd Nova! Only reason I didn't get it worse was because he did the same thing 2 weeks earlier. Torque + wheel hop = broken parts.
