Haven’t cartoons always been a creative vehicle for expressing adult issues that whoosh over the heads of innocents?

But to be fair that’s true of so many things people buy. Prius anyone?

Given the presence of Toecutter I’m now considering this an unofficial prequel.
True. But I’ve never had a group of Prius owners decked out in head to foot Toyota gear loudly explain to me that “only faggots drink craft beer”. Although given the demographics it probably be “only faggots drink domestic wine”.

Yup.
Although the more successful ones are probably buying Mercedes now…

Given the differing naming conventions of vehicles between two large countries situated on the same continent, I didn’t want to assume the designation was the same for this particular vehicle in Oz.
Please tell me they don’t swap out the factory mufflers for the farty mufflers.
Yup, full teenage streetracer kit.
Wank pipe, ridiculous alloys, blow-off valve, decorative spoiler, etc.

Just FWIW – my old saxophone teacher (in Texas) previously played guitar and lived in Melbourne. He did the music for Stone. IIRC he and some of the other cast/crew got Kawasakis out of the deal.
The car? (Is there a bike called the WRX?)
(EDIT: Y’all beat me to it)

That was a great scene. I wish it included the little bounce at the end.
To be fair, I think most of the “gangs” they are associated with now-a-days are rich, white retirees, who wish to look cool by owning a symbol of unlawful countercultural masculine rebellion.

I think that’s one of the points of that fictional world- that the Nazis won, and contrary to our national myths, we just rolled over and went along with it, except for the resistance; basically, I see it as an attempt to flesh out vichy france in the U.S, as USians tend to get all snooty and snobby about the French in WWII.
I’m somewhere in the middle of season 2 (don’t like it as much as season 1 so it’s slow going), and it’s definitely weird watching this season with a different real life context in the background from season 1.

And this became the whole topic of discussion on this thread…
So, I do wonder what is the breakdown of hardcore bikers (of any variety) vs. weekend warriors who own harleys. Anyone got any idea? I think, for many of us, we think of hell’s angels as written about by Hunter S. Thompson in the 1960s, but has that been replaced by the rich weekend warrior riding a bike, and hence they are more cagey about wading into political controversy?
