 =====High Yield Investments=====
-Typically used when a user asks about what car to buy and gives an eye watering budget, or makes reference to their expensive luxury car, it is always referenced as a "high yield investment vehicle". Often used at any mention of a European (especially German made vehicles) or when someone tries to pass their s#%t heap off as some kind of rare and valuable "collectable" vehicle.

+This meme may also occasionally be manifested by a question; "Do you work for Westpac?" with reference to the original poster stating they worked for Westpac.

 Was started by [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4128667/redir|this comment]] made by a user that said that the Mercedes Benz car they were looking to buy would actually be an "investment with high yield". What they meant was in terms of face value and fitting in at their new job working for Westpac, but the community never lets that get in the way of a good taunting, and thus the "high value investment vehicle" meme was born.
 =====AMG A200 Humble Brag=====
 Used when someone talks about their car in an appealing way, even though it is a 100% run of the mill, poverty pack, base model with some stickers on it. Often coupled with the moniker of having "all the bells and whistles", when it quite clearly doesn't.

-This last one is by far the most important. You could have an 8k video at 120 frames per second and photos of everything... But in the 9th circuit court of OzBargain Automotive forum, the only real evidence that will convince the jury is a poorly drawn MS Paint diagram. (Drawing over a Google Maps photo is also passable in this situation).

 =====That Makes Sense, Cheers!=====
 Used as as a semi sarcastic and humorous remark to someone stating the obvious. This prase if often manipulated to sound similar to the original saying, but with a twist that fits the topic being talked about.

  Camry just ticks all the boxes. (Unlike that LPG Falcon suggestion from other unmentionable alternative automotive forums.)
-The tide may be turning, however, as the EV space heats up and with a recent sale on the MG4  EV making therm cheaper than most petrol vehicles in this segment, many users are now suggesting the MG as a viable alternative to anyone looking for a "cheap to own and run" vehicle. While the Camry has been "king" of the suggestion list for many years, its crown may be slipping with cheaper and more fuel efficient vehicles being adopted.

 These threads get posted with such monotonous regularity that the atomic internet clock has started to cross check it's time accuracy against the regularity of these "gift card horror story" posts.

 A (since "deactivated") user wasn't getting the confirmation bias they were told they would get when posting to an internet forum when user [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/72930|spackbace]] laid down a few home truths. Unimpressed with this information, the user then proceeded to refer to spackbace as [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/6470618/redir|"sassmouth".]]
+=====Broden=====
+An older reference that is less commonly seen in recent times, was reference to the [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/370765/redir|claimed actions]] of a user [[broden|Broden]], who said they purchased large quantities of a bargain with specific intent to resale for a profit, wiping out the stock and thus depriving other users of the chance to also score a bargain. This lead to the term "[[broden|broden]]" becoming a verb, and which has now made its way into [[https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Brodened|the urban dictionary]].
