I recall Roop and Goose using "scag" to refer to other guys. As for The Goose (Steve Bisley), you should have heard him at the Mad Max reunion.

Seems to me the Aussies are tops for colourful metaphors.
Speaking about the cars that fold like tinfoil, I'm amazed that many of the people survive in cars like this.
I watch the local news every night and they show the stolen cars that are crashed and the people are able to walk away with minor injuries.
Many times, it's hard to tell what kind of car it started out to be. They generally are involved in a high speed chase.
