Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Well in the UK, insurance companies are known to be notorious at charging a lot for under-25, male drivers. 

Average yearly price for a 17-20 female in Scotland: £1500 

Average yearly price for a 17-20 male in Scotland: £2200

Ummm...what happened to our anti-discrimination laws? Legislators have once cracked down on insurance companies for the pricing imbalance (they were <£1000 for females) but instead of having our pricing lowered, their's got increased considerably instead. Backfired? Yep xD. 

 

Anyway, thankfully I moved to a slightly nicer area (last year) meaning my insurance dropped by a solid £1K/year compared to where I used to live (*cough cough* more price discrimination) but still, due to the obnoxious cost for insurance, I was unable to get a FTO, GTO, 3000GT or a 350z :/. 

miata cost me around $1800/yr. not too far off here.

full coverage though. If I had liability only it'd probably be 2/3rds of that.

 

 

If i had full coverage on my corolla it would of been like $2000-2200ish per year. Lousiana is one of the more expensive states though, because of our crap drivers and poor population areas with a larger amount of uninsured or even unlicensed drivers... awful roads probably play a part in that as well.

I love how a cop actually stops behind the car at ~0:38 then decides he has better things to do and just leaves it. LOL I hope he got a scolding for that one.

I got my motorbike in the downstairs living room, wrenching away at the moment. Need metric bolts for the brake caliper and adapter, then gotta work on the wiring for the motor, hopefully should be out riding today. Its not hard to do, just tedious. Its going to be a great wonderful day.

I should really start working on my A2 lisence so I can ride a real bike this summer... So damn expensive though

 

I'm getting B + A2 in hopefully a few weeks hehe

Too bad my parents won't let me buy a bike, but still, at least I have the license for when the opportunity comes up

Yeah, I'm on the process of getting my license, still xD Was supposed to get my license right after I turned 18, but summer music festivals, going camping and shit made it impossible for me.

Same here :|

Now the owner just needs to be the stereotypical rich girl, and the plate to be "MOOD", then it would be perfect.

Stereotypical rich girls wouldn't even know what a Stagea is but wtv just imagine xD

Depends some rich girls love their cars, tho if they are rich probably would look down on it while they drive their super car.

a rich girl would never drive a stagea (even when it was new) ... most likely a brand new Mercedes or something else expensive, overly complicated and quite crap xD 

and eventually crash it cause she mixed up the gas and brake pedals

NOTE (so people dont get offended :D) : not saying that all rich girls are like that ...

Who isn't tho? Who doesn't want to be a rich girl? I mean if I was a rich girl, I would have already either bought an Evo, FTO and/or RX7... 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...
