RACV letters, October 2008
This month the Royal Auto mag got me going really nicely. Lots of letters, some irrelevant to cars, but here we go.
WAKE-UP CALL (what... the... shit...)
When is Australia's automotive industry going to wake up to what is happening around the world? Tata, the Indian car manufacturer, has developed a car that would costs roughly $3000 for the base model. It is more economical than a Prius and has a small two-cylinder engine which would make it a city runabout. Also there is a design for a car that runs on air. It costs between $2 and $3 to fill at the petrol station with a special air compressor or four hours at home plugged into the power with the cars built-in compressor. Isn’t this a sign to Australian manufacturers that they are falling behind by not developing these types of alternative cars? I want car building to continue in Australia, but the industry needs to change with the times. Rising fuel prices and interest rates just make it harder for Australians to buy the comparative 'gas guzzlers' they are given the choice of now. Come on, guys, get with the times.
Matthew Raymod, Wallan
My personal response:
What... the... fuck...... WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT! THE FUCK!? WHAT THE FUCK? FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK?... FUCK! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK FUCK IS THIS SHIT? FUCK! SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU SERIOUS? YOURE A FUCKING MORON! IF YOU EVER SEE ANYONE WITH THE NAME MATTHEW RAYMOND, KILL THEM! CUT OFF THEIR BALLS! DONT LET THIS KIND OF STUPID SHIT BREED! A car shitter than a prius, is like saying there is shit that I like to eat. And after reading that, I would rather eat shit than have these people alive. In fact, I would eat shit, if I could make these kind of people disappear. Like, if there was some kind of magic spell, where the main component is to eat shit, I would do it. First, a 3000 dollar car. Hasnt any one learned that when you buy cheap, you get cheap. End of story. More economical than a prius? A PRIUS? FUCK MY NUTS WITH A BULLDOZER WRAPED IN CHAINSAWS! Im not even going to comment about that stupid shit. A two cylinder engine that would be a city run about? Are you dumb? Are you dumb? Yes, we already established that. HOW BIG ARE OUR FUCKING CITIES? NOT BIG AT ALL! Hey guys, I want to get from Melbourne central to the vic market. FUCKING WALKING DISTANCE! No one LIVES in the city anymore, no one can STAY in the city. This is AUSTRALIA! THE LAND OF LOTS OF ROOM AND DESERT! NOT FUCKING JAPAN WHERE I CANT TAKE A PISS WITHOUT HITTING AN ASIAN OR ANOTHER BUILDING. Or perhaps an Asian in a building. (I was aiming at him through a window). A car that runs on air fits into the same Asian pissing category. $3 to fill up? Good luck on those freeways, in fact, good luck on not filling up ever day you moron. Oh wait wait, no no. I almost forgot, it wont be the fact that it CANT go the max speed, its the fact it takes half an hour to GET to that speed. Thus, slowing every one else down behind you, creating MORE city traffic. Australian manufacturers are falling behind the times not developing these sort of cars... No... They are not. They are smart enough to not hire stupid fucking faggots like you to design cars, because well, honestly, not to be mean or anything, youre a stupid fucking faggot. Australia needs big tough cars, it has harsh environments and people have families. Why is Hilux one of the biggest selling cars then? Huh? Why not a PRIUS YOU STUPID FUCKING FAGGOT IM GETTING ANGRY JUST WRITING THIS SHIT! Also, also, heres the best bit. The best fucking cherry on the top. You complain about fuel prices, but, but, you say: "its harder for Australians to buy the comparative 'gas guzzlers' they are given the choice of now." Which means, youre talking about NEW cars. ARE YOU FUCKING DUMB? BUT AN OLD CAR FOR HALF THE PRICE AND SAVE YEARS WORTH OF FUEL! AND WHO THE FUCK CALLS IT GAS? ITS NOT A FUCKING GAS YOU DIP SHIT! ONLY AMERICANS CALL IT GAS AND THIS IS WHY THEY ARE SO FUCKING DUMB!
breath.
CLEAR INDICATION (What... the... nuts)
I totally agree with Alan Sanders (RA, Sept) and Greg Jessep (RA, July) regarding the 'clear' indicators on cars. I would like to know why the car manufacturers stopped producing orange-tinted lenses on indicators. We never had a problem with seeing them in the 'old' days, so why change something so critical in terms of safety, especially as they're getting smaller by the year! Its a huge problem, particularly at roundabouts.
Michael Hunt, Melton
My personal response:
This months Royal Auto is just jammed packed with dicks in peoples ears. Aside from appearance, clear indicators looking better, well... There is no aside. THERE IS NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TINTED AND NON TINTED INDICATORS! CAN YOU SEE THE FLASHING LIGHT YOU FUCK? Perhaps youre just mistaking the fact that since they look better, and car manufacturers are just making shit cars, with smaller indicators. That just so happen to be clear. I mean, a flashing light REALLY isnt hard to see. No matter how small it is. Unless its really small. Dont take me literally there you moron.
GO ON RED (Hmm. Interesting thought)
Expanding on Barry Rogers' idea (RA, Sept), a lot of fuel would be saved if motorists were allowed to turn left on a red signal similar to a lot of US and Canadian cities (except they turn right).
Roger Hammon, Hampton
My personal response:
This is an interesting idea. However, I cant help but feel, that due to the increasing rate of fuckshit drivers about, this is only accident prone. I think its fine for america though, this will help keep their numbers down.
SPEED REVIEW NEEDED (I agree with this letter)
There are five different speed limits within 300m of my residence: ie, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80km/h. Is it any wonder that limits seem to be ignored by man drivers? Reviewing limits is long overdue.
Brian Leaney, Vermont South
My personal response:
Another non can of shit letter. This is quite true, and more so true with construction speed signs. Roughly half the time I go past one, there is NO construction or NO point to have the sign there. However, I am a firm supporting of reviewing our town planers heads, with bricks. Many bricks. In the head.
LIGHT AND LIFE (buuur letter)
Something about lights and shit. I cant be stuffed writing it all out. Things like lights being too high and shining into our faces and mirrors and stuff. But her last line was this:
Like other drivers, I do not want additional running costs, but regular roadworthy checks of vehicles should be mandatory in Victoria.
J. Michael, Doncaster
My personal response:
I agree, peoples lights are way to high and they are constantly blinding me. I hate it with a fury that could ignite a thousands world, but, you know what? ROAD WORTHIES DONT FIX YOUR DAMN PROBLEMS! Ive been reading this magazine for a while now, and at least once per mag I see someone suggesting something about road worthies. (Dont go back through my posts here, as I dont respond to all letters). ROAD WORTHIES DONT FIX SHIT! And most importantly, they DO NOT adjust or check light placement in roadworthies. Dont assume you know shit about cars and then write to a car magazine so you LOOK like you know what youre talking about.
