This is the beater that my friend bought for $500. I think thats about $375 american. It's a 1990 Holden Commodore, 330k, no rust and a service history. This is our road trip car for our 1100km journey to canberra to see summernats (Big car festival). Yeah i know its a gm car but it should get us there and back. Excuse the shitty PQ of my phone.
at least it got you to summer nats and back safely.
This WILL be our summernats car, he bought it just for summernats, i know its so bogan, thats what makes it so funny, My friends still deciding whether to buy a decent car or a dirt bike. And the caterpillar mudflaps are coming soon lol
haha ^^ i thought u were just playin dumb but i just realised the americans wouldnt have a clue haha
heres a description (source wikipedia... its all correct)
The stereotype may be summarized as follows:
White, predominately Anglo-Celtic.
Poor, particularly on welfare and unwilling to find work.
Often having an unattractive and brutish voice, manner, and appearance.
Unintelligent, uneducated, anti-tellectual - more specifically, racist, parochial, and homophobic.
Culturally blue-collar
Uses traditionally working class dialect and pronunciation; for example, using 'youse' (plural form of 'you'), 'nuthin' ('nothing') , sumthin ('something'), anythink ('anything'), wiv ("with"), brang ("brought"), Dun eg. "I dun that yesterday" and Seen eg. "I seen it last week." .
A heavy drinker of pre-mixed bourbon and cola cans such as Woodstock & Cougar. A typical drink at a public bar would be a bourbon and coke, or 'Bundy' and coke (disparaged as "bogan juice"). 'Bundy' is a diminutive of Bundaberg Rum, a popular brand amongst bogans. Victoria Bitter beer is also highly prized, both because of its price and nationalistic associations.
There is a detailed stereotype of what bogans wear, which includes Moccasin-style slippers, ugg boots 'uggs', jeans or black leggings, Blue Bonds singlets (known as 'Shearers singlets') or white 'chesty bonds' singlets (Known as 'wife beaters' in the U.S.A.), flourescent 'safety' work shirts (a recent addition to the bogan wardrobe), flannelette shirts (or black jerseys and jeans in Waitakere/West Auckland) and prominent tattoos, "stubbies" (tight 'footy shorts'), thongs/sandals/flip flops ("pluggers" or "double pluggers", dependant on the method of manufacture) and sunnies . This can also include tracksuit pants (trackie dacks) in the case of younger male bogans, primarily due to their low price. Popular brands of "label" clothing include Kappa, Wu Wear, Fubu, Damani Dada and Fila. Inappropriate/unseasonal nudity can at times also be observed, primarily among males, for example walking bare chested around shopping malls or sporting arenas, and a noticeable lack of footwear in public places. Ford or Holden racing car jackets and other related clothing are also favourites. Tattoos and body piercings are also wildly popular with many Bogan sub-groups, though Bogans are not to be confused with Punks, Goth subculture or 'Coffinkids', despite some superficial resemblances.
Wearing a "mullet" hairstyle, or bleached hair with regrowth showing.
There is a similarly detailed stereotype related to music, based around metal and Australian 'pub rock' - primarily Jimmy Barnes and his band Cold Chisel, particularly their song Khe Sanh, and AC/DC 'Acka Dacka'. Barnes is valued not only due to nationalistic associations, but also because, with such songs as Working Class Man, adherents of the stereotype presumably feel that he empathises with their typical reality and mindset. The drunk young man who loudly and gutturally demands that a band 'play some Barnsey', or 'play Khe Sanh', regardless of the band's style, is a recognisable element of the stereotype. Other musical artists prized by bogans might include Metallica, Rose Tattoo and The Angels (mainly among older adherents of the stereotype), the Choirboys, Noiseworks, the Screaming Jets, and possibly James Reyne. As "Techno" (as they call anything from trance to house music) has faded in popularity among people who were nightclubbing ten years ago, it has become very popular with Bogans also. Techno is also referred to as "Doof Doof" music by Bogans.
