My first car was a VL. No turbo though. Loved it.

Also had a VZ at one stage as well, and I really enjoyed driving that.
Now I drive a Kia Sportage. Nowhere near as fun to drive.

I had a VW... Seemed to be a bit of a departure from the other models.... It looked more like a beetle than a commodore...

Every car looks the same these days and have done so for quite some time. Badge engineering with a few tweaks has seen to that. It's no surprise that you're driving a Kia. Even a Porsche SUV looks like an Outlander from a distance these days. Of course, the 20's colours hit you in the face with their flat greys and greens.

I drive the Kia because it was a decent bang-for-buck small SUV that I needed to get after having a kid.
Would love to upgrade at some stage, but will drive this one into the ground before I do. No use getting a new car whilst the kids are still young and will just trash it.

Maybe I should get one of these:

You must be on the big coin if you want a Cybertruck. I would assume you want the AWD so you're looking at $130K AU plus shipping and a conversion to RHD. Are you an NRL players agent?

Superannuation and Medicare are the two greatest achievements of Labor in my lifetime. The 38 hr week is up there too I suppose.

the NDIS, deregulation of the economy and floating the AUD, dropping the corporate tax rate from 46% to 36%. there's plenty

But it was the great man Gough, who in three short years changed the very fabric of our nation,

Medicare
Ended conscription
Single moms pension
Established the family court
Free tertiary education
f**ked off God save the queen for Advance Australia Fair
Papua New Guinea independence, etc etc

Gough Whitlam left a long list of achievements

Gough Whitlam is perhaps best known for the manner in which he prematurely exited from power rather than how he chose to wield it

Righties love to bag the great man, but none of them will ever achieve anything near as much did he
