Lol at least the headlights still work!

Interesting that the airbag didn't go off even though it looks like he gave the wall a fair nudge...

All I can say is "Well Done"

5 days is how long it took this driver to take his car from being in the hands of a new driver, to the hands of a wrecker...

Should stick with something cheaper, like a bicycle.

The exact reason we need more intensive driver training and licensing requirements in Australia...

He wont see low insurance premiums for years!

That's got nothing to do with it.

If he wasn't such an immature, selfish knob, it never would've happened in the first place.

What if there was a mother pushing a pram with a new-born passing by?

Ah well, one less Commodore with cheap alloys off the road can't be a bad thing :dr_Evil:

I guess it goes to show VT's in the wet are unsafe at any speed...love to hear the explanation of that accident.

Tool....no wonder insurance rates are so high.

Why is it that young Commywhore drivers keep on reminding us why they have the reputation they have...

I am a young VTII Commywhore driver...23 years of age...we aren't all bad. But I do agree, a lot are total idiots.
5 days! Imagine, you buy a car and 5 days later it's a total write-off. It's like having a polaroid taken with a hero/heroine of yours, having them sign it, then wiping your bottom with it.

All for nothing!

In year 12 we had someone dad buy his son a VT2 Supercharged S to say congrats to getting your P's. The next night he was turning right at an intersection in front of his mates, and whilst trying to show off ended up in embankment off the side of the road.

Car was a write-off. His dad after that bought him only a VT Exec after that.

Fruitin' ****szus! Wish my old man would buy me a car. All my Dad believes in is base model pov pack stuff. I want a Fairmont Ghia. The response, "you don't need all those whistles and bells."

Hmmm...wonder why Dad hates driving...

Many of my school mates were given WRX's, XR8's and SS's for their first cars.
Not real smart.
Power poles and bridges were the main targets.

Back to the first few posts, , its great to see you younger guys "Laugh out Loud" and "roll on floor laughing" because some poor guy dinged his holden...

I suppose no-one here has EVER lost it in the wet and dinted a car ? ? ?

I sure have..... ( it was in a 4 cylinder mazda !! ! ! ! )

If it was a Ford, , you wouldnt be "ROFL"
