Mate That Looks Like A Smurf Also Drives A Little Smurf Car

Maverick Mitchell’s pride and joy is his 2006 blue Holden Barina. 

Made right before Holden went from reliable and trusted to dodgy plastic pieces of shit, the Barina has never failed Mav. 

As the two make their way up and down Ruthven Street, they’re quite the pair. Mav is never seen without his white beanie, which coupled with his short stature means he and the Barina are almost twins. 

Though his mates tease him and tell him he looks like a smurf, as does his car, Mav just keeps on at it, beating to his own drum.

He’s happy living in smurf world. All he needs really is his very own smurfette. 

The Advocate caught up with Mav at his local, the Wilsonton, to chat about his happy go lucky attitude. 

“You’d be this happy too if you drove a stallion like that,” he said nodding to the Barina parked out front. 

“By the way don’t worry, this is a Super Crisp so I can still drive her home after,”

“But nah neither of us really look that much like a smurf, that's just the boys having a bit of fun,”

“Also my mate Dawson drives a little green Suzuki Swift, and trust me, he looks like a frog. I could pull that one out if I wanted, but I leave it in the back pocket, and I think he knows that. So he never pushes it too far,”

“But anyway. Life is good. Like I said, just waiting for a smurfette now ha ha,” he laughed for only a moment before dropping his face and finishing the schooner.
