Hiluxes are shit. Theyre comparable to all the other jap utes, but with a 20k premium. I.e. not worth it. I.e. an sr5 twin cab or extended cab is about the same money as a land cruiser and the landcruiser is ten times the ute the hilux is.

I dont know what you think 'work ute' is, but land cruisers are objectively better by almost any metric

t. Regularly drive work utes

>>16270091
But most people who buy work utes don't want some primitive piece of shit that makes a vk commie look spaceage, they want something comfy with excellent aircon and a good stereo and electric windows for the drivethru and sensors and etc shit

>>16270116

You don't like it because it doesn't come in automatic, right anon

>>16270116
>But most people who buy work utes don't want some primitive piece of shit
Incorrect.
Most people buying utes want something that works. They want something that is reliable and they can chuck tonnes of shit in the back and not have an issue with.

I would highly suggest actually going outside, finding a building site, and seeing what everyone drives.

Anything else past load capacity and reliability is a luxury for those sorts of cars. If they can get it, they will, but the two most important things are reliability and capacity. Both things that for example 70 series cruisers have in spades.

>>16270116
Not really, Toyota sold 1000's of cheapo Hiaces and 2wd Hilux utes here because they're-
Cheap
Reliable
Efficient

The fact you'll die if you hit anything substantial and they're simple things is of less concern to most of them. It just has to start, not fuck up and cost a lot of money.

There's someone who drives a HQ one tonner workute past my work pretty often, he's put high vis tape around it lol

Last I saw he was riding on the bump stops

-They are the sort of people who feel the need to act manly. Many work in masculine work environments and don't want to seem like pussies so they buy a big ute
- Driving aforementioned big ute gives them a feeling of invulnerability
-Many do a lot of driving and don't know how to chill out in traffic. Stuck in traffic for hours each day lots of them don't give a fuck and just drive like cunts expecting you to get out of their way or something

So if Just Car dies I'll have a $4k+ premium and $3k excess to insure the skid hearse with Shannons. Also only 2/3 previous agreed value. AAMI won't touch it. Might have try to put it on parent's insurance even though I'm 24. Any other places I could try? Coilovers and catback doesn't help.

Sometimes when I turn the steering wheel when the car is moving too slowly (eg, from a standstill and trying to back out while turning), one of the front wheels makes a thunk noise, but I can't quite identify which one.

Is that a wheel bearing going out?

>A natural change that humans have no control or effect over?
Mostly this desu. Only a city-dwelling cuck could think we have that much power over nature. If we were responsible and push things too far, nature will smack us down as always and sort itself out.

I wish the watermelons and other scum would fuck off from it though, all the preaching and handwringing over 'muh climate' is an obvious power/cash grab if you look at the whole circus they've built around it

>>16276099

>it's common to see people manipulating datasets to get a result they want.

>>16276162
>we're full
The urban sprawl in every state would argue that. And of course being the second least populated continent per land mass... beaten by only Antarctica.

>>16276198
Have you ever left the cities? The land out there isn't great. There's a good reason most people live in 5-6 population centres, rest is pretty far up the uninhabitable scale.

Boat people don't even want to live out there. They just want the comfy Sydney homes paid for by try cuckernment

>>16276201
>Have you ever left the cities? The land out there isn't great.
There's fucking heaps of comfortably habitable undeveloped land you retard. I guess if you've only ever opened your eyes within the CBD or the desert you'd come to such a retarded conclusion.

>>16276198
>One is a giant wasteland made if ice
>The other is a island composed of 90% desert wasteland and small habitable stretches on the coast

FULL.

>>16276203
so we should keep building outward sprawls as fast as possible and use up all the habitable land?
or should we build more densely and make that unused land last far longer?

>>16276198
How do you honestly believe such drivel?
It's understandable eurotards and muricans not realising that Aus is a complete fucking wasteland not habitable for humans, but it's another thing when some Melbournian poof like you doesn't understand the geography of your country.

>>16276205
>"small" habitable stretches on the coast
That are far from full. The real shame is owners of derelict 2-10 acre blocks in the burb outskirts who can't manage to maintain them. Those slack cunts should be given maintenance free apartments and have their properties forfeited to islanders who know how to work the land. It'd improve our economy greatly.

>>16276212
>How do you honestly believe such drivel?

Where does this happen

>>16276213
Yeah, but building on perfectly good farmland with regular rainfall and temperate climate is fucking stupid at best
We're pretty full and don't need any more spear chuckers, slap heads or muslims

>>16276203
>Let's spend literal trillions of dollars to build more cities
>Now, let's spend billions more to accomodate each and every 'asylum seeker'.
These fucks aren't educated, they can't work, they have no identification because they 'lost' it, they can't afford housing, a car, or pay taxes.
They need everything GIVEN to them, and the Australian public funds it, and they will never, EVER give anything back to society.

It's an economic black hole. You want this arid, desert country to bankrupt itself and collapse under the weight of people from other countries, for absolutely nothing, to gain, you guessed it; absolutely nothing.

If you're so full of good will and ideas, I suggest you volunteer to be a nurse in sierra leone or something, and donate all your money and possessions to charity.
No? Don't team up with your little far-left friends and tell the country to bring ruination upon everyone and everything you love then.

>>16276225
>Yeah, but building on perfectly good farmland
Never said farmland you dunce. If you think 2-10 acre blocks is "farmland", then it sounds as though you're the one who's never left the city.

>>16276227
>Let's spend literal trillions of dollars to build more cities
I don't think you understand how privatised development works.
>These fucks aren't educated, they can't work, they have no identification because they 'lost' it, they can't afford housing, a car, or pay taxes.

It was before someone bought it up and sucked the right cock to have it rezoned so they could flog it off in little pieces as lifestyle blocks

>>16276245
Exactly. And there's no logic as to why unsustainable lifestyle blocks as such should be, ahem, sustained. Hell, even the majority of overgrown under kept 1/4 acre blocks in the burbs would be better purposed as duplex properties, let alone apartment complexes.

That would be a VE ute, most likely imported to the US and then somebody has taken a Pontiac G8 front clip and installed it.

There are a few people around in Australia who import the front clips from the US so they can have a "Pontiac ute" here.

Not much of a car guy.

Should I get my cousins wrx sti? I think it's a 2006/2007 model, he babied it and only has like 40k km on it.

i can't drive manual and it will be my daily driver. I am willing to learn though. don't plan on hooning or anything. Will it make me appreciate cars more and get into it

im still trying to see how much he is selling it for. only thing that going to bother me is that the car is black lol so dirtiness.

what would be a good price if I were to get it.

>>16279587
Probably used it for track days. It may have been pretty thrashed.

He'll be wanting to sell it for about 25k, and it may or may not be worth it.

Ehhh, it doesn't have much power but because it's light it's pretty tolerable. And it actually revs. Booting around town in second and third is great, engine really picks up at 4k or so. It isn't impressive by any means at all, but I really do love the little car. It just feels... right.

And I guess you're right about the lack of urban sprawl, but Wagga itself is in the plains of the Riverina and it's pretty much flat until you get about an hour east. Took me an hour and a half to get to foothills of the Snowys where the dam is.

Pretty much.

Riding in the wet is doable as long as you've got half decent tyres. It's not the most fun, but it's fine as long as it's not torrential rain.

Main thing you gotta watch out for is manhole covers and any painted shit on the road (i.e. lines, arrows, words etc) because they're slippery as fuck when they're wet.

Shieet, good point. I should have put my vote in for the Range Rover Evoque, or the BMW X6. They seem like the very epitome of tasteless new money trying to show off and keep up with the Joneses. Almost exclusively driven by housewives with a parasitic existence fully subsidised by a wealthy husband. They crawl their way out of garages in leafy suburbia consisting of sprawling McMansions and make their way with some measure of aggression to the local Westfield, and then back home.

where can you work on a car if your driveway/front yard is too steep and the road is too narrow?
can you rent a garage or some shit?

>>16281382
road is too narrow to park on*

>>16281382
Drive away from the city a bit.
Find somewhere flat and out of view of the road. Maybe someplace with a bit of a hole underneath the car so you can get underneath easy.
Only thing is you have to get whatever job it is done that day or else you're stuck

>>16281209
>no excel anywhere on that list
Kil ur'e self

>>16281409
That is a recent meme

What the fuck is going on with Adelaide's weather?

I swear it's never been this rainy or cool so close to christmas, and the occasional day of dreadful heat followed by rain is a weird pattern I've been seeing lately.

Is climate change habbening? Should I stock up on heinz baked beans, mercury hard cider, and toliet paper in preparation for the end?

Upside is I wake up at 5 on the dot.

Thing I don't like about the vx is holden's laziness
