Skaife Wannabe 

A term used in Australia to describe those teenage hoons who cruise the streets in their commodores / falcons who think that they are "fully sick".

The term "Skaife" coming form the V8 super car driver Mark Skaife. The term "wannabe" coming from try-hard.
So it's really Skaife + Wannabe.
A "Mark Skaife Tryhard".

How to identify Skaife Wannabes:
* Driving (usually) a Commodore / Falcon (one that P Platers can afford)
* 'P' Plates up
* HSV / FPV Body Kit
* Loud stereo up full bore
* Playing bogan metal or 'doof-doof-doof' music
* Thinking that they can drive like V8 supercar driver
Personally:
* Hat backwards
* shirt off
-If no shirt is present it will most likely be a Holden or Ford racing shirt.
* Sunglasses on
* One hand on wheel
* Arm out window
* Stares at everything as they go by

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
