Nation’s Commodore Owners Urged To Give Her Some

The nation’s Commodore drivers have today been urged to go on then, and to also send it.

This follows a recent report by the National Roads and Motorists’ Association has found that high-speed driving is not nearly as cool unless you flop your sloppy pale arm out the window while doing it.

In a report commissioned in 2014 by former NRMA chairman and former Manly Sea Eagles coach Mr Toovey, researchers have concluded that the ‘arm-hang’ is key to signifying you are king of the road.

“I was always interested in this particularl element of motorist culture” said the great man, Toovs.

“As is the only member-owned mutual organisation offering roadside assistance, motoring advice, car servicing, International Driving Permits, travel and other services in NSW and the ACT – this report was key to figuring out who actually is king of the road”

Lead researcher, Brock Lowndes says the study including interviews with over 2000 arm-hangers, most of which were Holden Commodore or Monaro drivers.


“We learnt many things about these highway big dogs” said Professor Lownes.

“They are occasionally Ford driver too, but rarely”

Another interesting revelation throughout the report was the recurring ‘King’s Tan’ – identified as unsymmetrical sun burn or weathered skin on the right arm of the drivers.

“The King’s Tan is only something that happens to you if you are the King Of The Road” said the researcher.

“Or if you are a truckie”

PSS ... Send us a pic @HoldenV8 ..
 
Well, if we were wondering when we'd lose our minds over the club's performances in 2018 the above post signals it.
We are all stark raving mad.

I have been reading the posts for the past 3 months, and ... I think the collective numb-nut stage was reached about rd 7 ... however if the above issue was considered important enough for 2V .... then that will do me ....

PSS ... I drive a Commodore with one big meaty gun hanging out
 
I had finished a bottle of Drambuie by half-time ..... and then I started drinking ......
You know the mere mention of Drambuie makes me feel queasy - my 18th birthday was "celebrated" with numerous depth charges and I haven't been able to go near that stuff ever since. That was the hangover to beat all hangovers.
 
My worse hangover resulted from many shots of tequila on a night of great revelry, to which I was introduced to the term catatonic state.

I must point out that the picture in the article isn't actually a Commodore. Its a VZ Monaro.

And most Aussie car drivers who do drive with either their arm out the window or just resting on the windowsill do so because not only is it comfortable (I rest my right arm there), but we figure that Brocky did it at 200 km/h during his career so we can do it at 60 or 100.
 
I must also point out that what the Monaro driver above is doing is actually illegal. Occupants of any moving vehicle (including dogs who like to put their heads out the window to feel the breeze) are not allowed to have any part of their body outside of the vehicle. Resting your arm on the windowsill, although undesirable as its supposed to reduce steering wheel control, is legal so long as no part of the arm is outside the window.

The reasons are sound of course. I mean, I wouldn't want to hang my head outside of a moving car and literally end up getting my block knocked off.

Yeeh I drive my car with my floppie hanging out too. Have we been forgotten as a demographic Woodsie?
