Hoons Idiots and all the jazz

[FrogInASock]

I live in Adelaide and could never be described as a hoon (I drive two Mitsubishis, a Verada and Pajero, used to have a Falcon ute which is why I am on Ford Forums). However the sheer idiocy of some folks is mind boggling.

Take the young bloke who lives with Mum and Dad across the road from me. He and his sister were sent to a selective school (not private) at great cost with the idea that they would excel at their studies and become greater than they might have been. Let's face it, kids who attend "exclusive" schools associate with the upper class more, and have greater opportunities to get ahead in life. Sorry if this offends, but it's true. Anyhow, Mum and Dad buys this bloke his first car. A perfectly acceptable first car for him, a Subaru Brumby ute. Small, only 2 seats so he can only have one mate telling him to unleash all that horsepower! And a good example too, no rust, nice and straight. Gods, I'd have bought it myself. Turns out Dad liked the Brumby too so he kept it!

So number one son gets a *shudder* Commodore. A VS 3.8, stock as a rock, albeit with a bloody bog towbar (previous owners had a van). Once again, low milage, good nick. But young clown plus powerful car will always equal trouble.

IN the Adelaide Hills recently there were a couple of kids killed when their car went way out of control. Mr Cool Commodore says that they were trying to jump their car (another Commodore) at a place where it's good to do this. they got all twisted up and crashed and both are dead now. These two were mates with Mr Cool Commodore.

And after knowing that two of his mates are dead, and knowing how they died, he was still blabbing on about how cool it was to go to this place and try to get air.

Sorry if people don't like this, but I 'simply cannot believe this bloke, who has had a lot put on a silver platter in front of him, and respects none of it. I just had to vent a bit...
