commodore

a car thats security locking system is more primitive than that of a prehistoric caveman tribe
so easy to break in to that it should be renamed the holden communist, as once one is purchased by an individual it doesnt belong to them for more than 5 minutes after leaving it in a carpark. and being stolen and returned severel times in the space of time it would take to withdraw $20 from a reliable ATM
if you are in australia you will notice as you drive on the highways cars ditched on the side of the road. this is a phenomenon that occurs all over australia, and 90% of those ditched cars are holden commodores

commonwealth games

Similar to the Olympic games but only consisting of countries that are colonies of England.

A good excuse for Australia to win without competing against countries that also have swimming pools.
Look at these Commonwealth Games results from Melbourne 2006.

2. England - Gold: 36, Silver: 40, Bronze: 34, Total: 110
3. Canada - Gold: 26, Silver: 29, Bronze: 31, Total: 86

Commodity Fetishism

A concept coined by Karl Marx referring to society's extreme obsession with material objects.

Commodity Fetishism is everywhere in Western Society today. Just look around around you. All the commotion surrounding Apple releasing yet another iphone with minor improvements. Cars are another example. Inanimate products which are so well known by their particular brand and certain model type to everyone, with most having definitions on urban dictionary even going so far as to define the certain type of person who drives such a model. When in reality the only importance of a car for most people is a sustainable mode of transport that can get you from one place to another. As a guitarist myself I find the guitar world is also guilty of this, many placing excessive importance over brand names (Gibson, Fender etc.), models (Telecaster, Strat, SG, Les Paul etc.) and hell even types of this model (1959 telecaster, Roadworn Strat, <insert famous guitarist here> signature model Les Paul Custom, Standard, Studio, express, 100, 100 elitist etc. etc.). Commodity Fetishism is the explanation why people get worked up for hours comparing the minor variations and specifications of the same 6 stringed instrument that they can barely play.

This behavior is heavily mocked in the character Patrick Bateman from the movie (and book) "American Psycho".
1. "That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail...
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark..."

- Patrick Bateman's words when comparing his business card with his co-worker's identical looking ones in "American Psycho".

2. "Thanks to commodity fetishism, I got bullied when I was 8 because my parents drove a Ford Fiesta while their parents drove Volvo*. And kids don't even drive...."

*defined on Urban dictionary as "The only car a true pimp would be seen in"

VL Commodore

A highly overrated vehicle idolised by P Platers, Wogs and Bogans.

The VL is possibly the most affordable Commodore you can source, hence it being purchased by the groups mentioned above.

The price tag however is somewhat deceiving, as the vehicle is prone to incessant failure.

The vehicle however received some functional parts such as a Ford 9inch Diff and a Nissan engine.
(Which you could sell for almost the price of the vehicle)

Recommended modifications include: Metal sports steering wheels, VY commodore body kits, chopped springs, neon's, turbo badges, personalised plates such as SIK-VLT, 18inch front and 14inch rear wheels, muffler removal, low range sound system consisting of 7inch subs and $50 amps.
"I think I hear Dolphins screaming? That acne covered burger peddler didn't put acid in my Big Mac did he?

"Nah mate that's just the VL Commodore dosing in the car park"
