Guidelines for buying a Monaro - Non Serious
Discussion
Think we need to start writing up some guidelines for people buying Monaro's.
1) Baby making is STRICTLY PROHIBITED in the back of the Monaro, (or anywhere else), cause next thing you will notice is a For Sale sign on the window, as the co partner in the baby making adventure will complain it is hard to get the baby into the back seat. (You will however receive automatic membership to the Volvo drivers club).
2) (in case you have to sell the Monaro).
After upgrading to a HSV, baby making adventures in the back seat are STRICTLY LIMITED to three (with the same biological heater). Otherwise again that buggar of a For Sale sign will appear, and you will have to buy a people mover. Any one know of a good snip and no more baby doctor? Possible solution could be to have automatic divorce papers written up, once the munchkin count reaches 4. That way you will have a spare seat in the front for that extra munchkin.
3) For the single blokes. When taking a girl out on the first date, ask her what her favorite magazine is. If she answers Womens Weekly, then it is quiet obvious that it isn't going to work. Although, dismantling a gearbox in the lounge room will also assist in weeding out non potential girlfriends. If she doesn't mind, then what are you waiting for, propose to her, but probably best to wait a couple of months to make sure that the new cog in your life also doesn't start developing a permanent whine.
4) If you buy a Maloo Ute, or any Ute for that matter, don't be tempted by all the baby making space in the back. It is best to make sure that 9 months before you purchase it, that you visit the snip and no more baby doctor. You don't have to necessarily tell the Mrs, cause you don't want all that space in the back to go to waste.
I am sure that there are more... any more suggestions?

I have to disagree about the baby thing.
I have a 7 month old and a 4 year old and have to say getting in and out the back is no real problem just put your foot down and don't let the women rule the roost (he says quietly so the wife doesn't hear).
However my 4 year old daughter keeps shouting from the back 'faster dad, go faster'. She giggles her head off when you accelerate hard.
Moral of the story - don't let the missus or babies put you off a Monaro.

Yeah, is very much a tongue in cheek thing. Extremely bored at work, and watching the clock tick down to beer o'clock. Although sad day, cause all staff are banned from drinking in the Walkabout due to stock going missing. Only work one day a week in there... hopefully someone couldn't count when the last stock take was done, and it will all be ok in the next month. Bit painful having to pay full price for a beer, and now have even more spare time on my hands. Good to hear though that you are bringing up the next generation of girls in the right way. Just make sure that you hang plenty of car posters on the wall. Winnie the Pooh is for whimps.
Just as well there aren't any panel vans any more. Remember one of my mates being not allowed to take out a few girls as their dad put their foot down because of his panel van. Think you will be safe when the time comes, although going to be hard for her first boy friend when he turns up in his little boy racer to impress her.

My daughter loves cars, loves football and is mad keen on the Simpsons.
She also thinks it's great that she can fetch and open a bottle of beer from the fridge.
However she did want me to get a yellow Monaro.

Very good high standards. Mind you probably good idea when the time comes, that if the guy does own a v8, that you take out six of the spark plugs while it is parked in the driveway. You know how we thought that we were all good drivers back then. Could end up like that HSV that was so ellegantly parked in that second hand car yard a few weeks ago.
