Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / May 2008Escape, CR-V sales skyrocket...
Honda CR-V sales skyrocketed last month. The CR-V is now *the* best-selling SUV in the USA. Ford Explorer and Grand Cherokee used to be the best sellers. No more. Not only that, but the CR-V is the 9th best-selling vehicle overall in the US. There are also 2 other Hondas in the top 10, which I probably don't need to mention as they should be obvious. The Ford Escape seems to be doing very well too, in 2nd place in SUV sales, but still a fair distance behind the CR-V. RAV4 and Forester come in way, way behind. It's a shame that despite ruling just about every class they compete in, Toyota just can't seem to get the compact SUV formula right. > Honda CR-V sales skyrocketed last month.

I never said comments about Top Gear or your continued pants-pissing about what happens in America weren't *allowed*, just that they aren't relevant to anyone in Australia. w.nk off all you like about sh.t that happens in the US, but it means nothing to anyone here apart from wannabee yanks like you. > Yet I'm sure I've seen discussions before...

New Zealand is nice, and I could happily live in the South Island without a problem. The north's just like here in that it's much more urbanised and "big city", but the south has a nice country feel too it and reminds me of what Australia *used* to be like in the '60's. The kind of go out and leave your key in the door and you'd have no problems kind of place. However, as nice as it is it has it's issues. Wages are low, taxes are high, jobs are few and far between and the cost of living is rising faster than here. On the upside, property is relatively cheap compared to here (although it's location dependent just like here) but you generally get a hell of a lot more for your money in the country areas than you can here. In short, a nice place to retire to if you've got plenty and don't need a job, but not anywhere near as good as it is here if you need a wage. > I want to retire to outback SA myself (as in sth aus, not seth efrica) Nice. Bellarine Peninsula for us. The wife wants to be reasonably close to the beach, but I'm f.cked if I know why as we live 200 yards from it now and she never goes there :) I don't particularly care as long as I've got a couple of acres and no neighbours right on my fence line to annoy (or annoy me). -- Regards, Noddy. >> Look at out own yank wannabe arsecrawler Howard for f.cks sake :-) > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > general terms) then I'd love to hear it as I'm f.cked if I know what it'd > be. Only place I can think of that may be as good as here and is some ways better would be NZ. The "better" IMO is the fact they leaders don't kiss anyones arse when it comes to foreign policy or if they do its no where near as bad as ours have done in recent times. I think what makes Australia unique in the world is that we have so much space, I think I would go insane if I lived somewhere where the population density was much higher, I don't even like the inner parts of Australian cities because IMO they are overcrowded so I can't imagine what living in a large Asian city would be like.

Personally I think the best asset John Howard had with regards to him being elected prime minister (and his subsequent re-election) was his timing and how the destruction of the Labor party and their willingness to put up hopelessly unpopular leaders played an enormous part in him being elected. Had the Labor party put up anyone of *substance* Howard would have had a real run for his money, and probably wouldn't have served more than one term. > I moved to Tassie a few weeks ago (semi retired I suppose now that I think > about it :) Most mainlanders have NFI how good it is here, and the Bass > Strait and all the inbred stories/jokes help as well :) Tassie is the only place in the country I haven't been, and I'll be going over either late this year or early next.

Erm, well I'm not suffering just yet :) Currently it is 6.4C, apparently its until July/August that it really snaps down. Also, St Helens has it's own micro-climate, and on average is warmer than Melbourne in the colder months. I went for a run to the top of Mt Wellington (Hobart) last Sunday - I forgot to check the temp up there, but suffice to say that between the rocks it was all ice... so it was pretty bloody cold there. Mt Wellington was a spur of the moment decision, so I was definitely not dressed for it either :) Mind you, I saw one clown up there wearing f.cking shorts... fark, even down below it was a bit too cold for shorts so I dunno what he was thinking. Oh - in case any of you do drive up there with an immobiliser installed - park somewhere where you can roll the car downhill, because if like me you'll have a LOT of fun trying to disarm the immobilser, and make sure you have a proper key to unlock the door... > Some people we spoke to in Swansea told us its freezing cold there > during the winter, so much so they were thinking about moving north. The grass is always greener somewhere else :) Some are just not cut out for the cold I suppose. I used to live in tropics, mostly just south of Darwin... eventually I got tired of the constant warm weather all year round and humidity. More than anything I now love having 4 seasons in a year... it's all good. Gives me an excuse to have a nice wood fire as well. > I moved to Tassie a few weeks ago (semi retired I suppose now that I > think about it :) Most mainlanders have NFI how good it is here, and the > Bass Strait and all the inbred stories/jokes help as well :) There's some coastal spots that are f.cking magical down there. As a kid I spent some time at Campbells Cove (in vic) in what was pretty much a fishing village of sorts, and f.cking loved it, but it's been on the verge of being f.cked off by the council. From what I've seen, there's a whole bunch of these types of tiny spots speckled around the coast of tassie, and I like the idea. It's for the same reason I like remote stuff in SA - there's not too many f-ing people there.

It's not a f.cking mining region like the Kimberlies or whatever. Why would the ratio be any different in a rural area? Because it ain't. All moot anyway, since I just realised that 'single young women' is code for the type of hooker you like to spends your daddy's money on... so in that sense you are probably right about rural Tas. >>>> They'd probably counter it with 'don't need one, everything is nearby >>>> or [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > It's not a f.cking mining region like the Kimberlies or whatever.

The numbers of *both* younger male & females would be less in small rural towns simply because these towns often lack tertiary education facilities and so when people hit 18 their only option is to head to larger towns/cities to get their tafe/uni degrees.

This may come as a surprise to your sheltered self, but despite being about as catwalk model suitable as quasimodo with bad acne, I actually do well for myself, I have people cracking on to me. It's a mystery to some, but it goes to show if you can make people laugh and have a good time without any effort, they'll tend to want to be around you. I'm sure this is news to you, but maybe you will reflect on the fact you aren't exactly being knocked down by the stampeding women eager to bed you. And ultimately that's why you hate me, it's not my sexuality, it's the fact I actually can get laid.

You have nfi how easy it is for people where I live (and if you aren't retarded you'd know roughly where that is) to access the city, the airport, or any other place of any value whatsoever. You'd also note that for the 'privelege' of living in your shithole, you are paying more than twice as much for the same sized house, on a smaller block. That money could be otherwise used more wisely, at the very least, and hey, less pollution, less traffic, more freedom, more privacy, win win. But you still think you're on top. Basically you are deluding yourself. It's not the first time I've made the 'Emperor's new clothes' comparison, and no doubt it won't be the last. Shmuk.

Life is too short and every year goes by quicker than the last. Not that I would ever expect Dawggie to throw any of his money my way anyway, but if it *is* causing him problems the feeling of giving to those who actually *need* it is very satisfying indeed. Sponsor a few kids, a bed at a children's hospital, buy ambulance, pay for a sick kid's trip through the make a wish foundation, perform a random act of kindness instead of bitching about how bad society is. Glad to hear you had a successful outcome by the way and it's (hopefully) behind you. -- Regards, Noddy. > Athol is ahead in the queue, however I'm not in a giving > mood right now.

How many single young women are there in rural Tasmania? What difference does it make to you - you're no chance with any of them irrespective of location. You live in a f.cking zoo, you're just too stupid to realise it. All cramped in, busy traffic laden streets during peak hour. Some people need the safety of the flock, some people love being the Steppenwolf. And make no mistake, when the wolf, let alone the wolf pack descends and initiates the hunt, all the sheep that formerly claimed superiority shut the f.ck up and run for their lives. No doubt the extended metaphor is beyond you, and you'll misinterpret it to the point of absurdity.

It's for the same reason I like remote > stuff in SA - there's not too many f-ing people there. Yep, you got it. There seems to be no end to the beaches around here, where you rarely see another person, many of which you can camp right next to with awesome views. Not much bureaucracy here with the council, everyone seems to be able to do as they like, many people simply build sheds and deck them out. It's all laid back, no hassles and everyone is genuinely friendly. And I think it'll be a long, long time before this whole area gets spoiled. Something that is impossible to find on the mainland these days. I haven't gotten into an argument or other B.S since I arrived here a month ago, no way could I manage that back in Kiama/Illawarra NSW - and THAT place was supposed to be laid back - I suppose it is compared to the likes of Sydney :) The nearest large town of any sort is Launceston, which is 160KM away. In the wee hours here I can go out the front and its so quiet, its just unreal. You can go to a lot of country areas on the east coast mainland and think it is dead quiet - but theres always a very low background rumble noise that usually you subconsciously block out. You don't get that here... it's just f.cking utterly silent :) > I honestly don't grasp how people in some shithole like new york f.cking > cope - packed in like a bunch of cattle on their way to the abbatoir in > a cramped smelly semi trailer.

That's OK - I have no need for a "compact SUV", and that includes RAV-4.
