Holden Commodores are typical australian, low-tech, overpowered rear wheel drive cars, mostly driven by people with a lot of anger/attitude and not much driving ability. So its no real surprise.


Wow, how was that for a generalisation!

Christ, the family in the house were lucky!

I've seen quite a few accidents on the roads over here, it seems like the Commodore is the weapon of choice when attempting serious speeds.
This is why I drive a 360. No-one bothers to race me, therefore I never have to unleash teh awesome powerz. On a certain level, I think i've won :)
