Wasn't there some suggestion of <= 6 cyl and no turbos?
You couldn't drive a 1.4l Smart because it's a turbo, but you could drive a 3.6l Porsche as long as it wasn't a turbo.

Yeah i understand the whole borrowing of the parents car thing, but if you drive the parents car you still have to have the plates up. If you dont its 50 bucks a plate.
If the person driving didnt have the plates up, driving the folks car which is say a holden commodore (3.6 V6) and driving like an idiot, then higher penalty applies, and not 'Oh son I hope you have learned you lesson. Here is a $150 fine.' Make it substantial couple hundred with demerits or impound the car.
And the Porsche thing, if the cops see a porsche, with p plates up. they are going to pull it over on any given day again no plates=some sort of fine. And what parent would give there porsche to there 17/18/19 year old kid and say 'here have a good time. Make sure your home by 12, and no funny business' Its just not going to happen. At least where im from. If my parents gave me a car like that to drive around on a friday nite in the middle of Perth, I dont think they would have done it twice. . . . for a few reasons
