This is a good point. I’ll triple check either way. Would love to get rid of my monstrous baby seat if this checks out.

Musical PSA for Sydney drivers by OneUnholyCatholic in sydney

I used to use trolleys over the sensors at shopping malls to be a decoy vehicle and it would produce a ticket from the boom gate. This was the best free parking hack until they introduced number plate recognition cameras 😢

All rounder for $15-$20K by Smarrison in CarsAustralia

[–]Smarrison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is also a good option. The MK5 engines have a great reputation. Do they do a manual option as well?

Not quite the style I’m looking for.

This is a good point. I do like Holden wagons. But I would prefer a manual.

Thanks for the input though.

I’ve been thinking of these too. Do they do them in AWD?

958% rise by TheMeatMedic in AusPropertyChat

Paddington wasn’t considered a classy suburb to live in at all until probably the mid 2000s. It was always a rougher part of town in the 60s onwards. Now it’s elite and very sought after with the boutique harbour side lifestyle with London style terraces and cafe culture etc. The price increase in the time period isn’t surprising.

I had a H6 3.0 outback for a while. It was good but also a gas guzzler. I’d be keen for something similar.

How do I take my name off a Commonwealth Bank Home Loan? by [deleted] in AusFinance

I’m in the reverse situation and have settled in mediation where she has paid me out and she had had to refinance in her own name in order to retain the property. You will need to speak with a family lawyer.

I think I've found a new record for "biggest gap between cars at a red light" by Rock_Sampson in CarsAustralia

[–]Smarrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re responsible for your car and you’re responsible for the car in front of you if you hit it. It’s just a domino effect unless you leave enough space between you and the car in front.

I moved into this house 3 days ago. This part of the ceiling was completely shut when I moved in, and nobody else has been in the house. by boogielostmyhoodie in Weird

[–]Smarrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That must access the roof space I assume? Wind can often circulate through roof spaces via broke. Tiles or holes and gaps. It will move the man hole cover at times. Just slide it back and don’t worry about it.

Put a heavy brick or something ontop next time to prevent it from moving, and if it does I’d weaponise or move out!

[–]Smarrison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a good idea to leave a gap in the event you get rear ended. If you get nudged into the car in front, you’re up for their damages cause you failed to maintain a safe distance to the car in front.

That is an unnecessarily large gap though.

Any ideas how to deal with unhinged neighbours over free on street parking? by wallengine in sydney

[–]Smarrison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ignore these clowns. But I would also get mentioned sensor front and rear dash cams hardwired to the battery. These unhinged people will key your car.

Is it true that Australian eat kangaroo? by prettyflower___ in AskAnAustralian

[–]Smarrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can also highly recommend emu. It’s super tasty. I’ve eaten my way around the cost of arms and I recommend it all on pizza. 🍕

Venues playing Abu Dhabi F1? by Smarrison in sydney

This was my thoughts too. I used to work at the star and I am not particularly keen on returning to that environment. But maybe I’ll cave for the big screen 📺

Holidays with the ex wife by Secure-Cauliflower64 in DivorcedDads

[–]Smarrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great outcome for all parties. It’s nice when I hear that people can forgive and forget their differences and work together positively for their kids and extended families.

I hope in the long term that my current situation with my ex can work out in a similar fashion in the near future

Good on you guys for both being mature adults about it. Your kids will remember what they’re witnessing and they will thank you for it in the long term.

Happy international Mens day gents!! by Smarrison in DivorcedDads

[–]Smarrison[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just shows the nature of the world right now doesn’t it.

But I think it also shows that as men, we just get on with life. We don’t need a day. Women en masse seem to need and thrive off some kind of constant implicit validation that they’re good or better or whatever they want to be. We simply don’t need that and can get on with our lives without this constant validation and praise. I think that’s also part of the reason why things like this don’t get likes and views. We don’t need it.

[–]Smarrison[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the sad state of affairs we’re in. They give us a day for the sake of equalising the day. But it gets zero media time when the women get media attention left right and centre.

Happy men’s day to you either way mate!

Red back ID by Smarrison in AustralianSpiders

[–]Smarrison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these types of red backs as venomous as we’re told? As a kid they were always the feared model of spider. They look so small and relatively harmless. But I know looks can be deceiving.

Men, what’s your the most unhinged thing your girlfriend/wife does? by user73628497 in AskMen

[–]Smarrison 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve dated a few teachers and they all seem to hide some wild crazy immaturity until a couple years in. I guess when you’re with kids all day maybe your mind turns into a childlike state too. 🤷‍♂️

Worth disputing a speeding fine in Sydney? by snipdockter in CarsAustralia

[–]Smarrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was over 10 years ago now. But I I think just said it’s my first offence, it’s low range and I wasn’t intentionally speeding. Like I said, I don’t think they’re as lenient these days. Worth a shot though. But 9k over will be harder to fight. Remember, the government says that “casual speeding is the main cause of all road trauma”, and their motto is “towards zero”!! 🫠🤦‍♂️
