    ...has any body seen Mi KeHunt? Just rang the insurance mob cause the car runs out of registration in 12 minutes and I need over priced private Compulsory Third Party insurance as part of it. The pucking wankers close their phone service at 22:00. Don't these bell ends understand that there are people in third world countries that will work around the clock so people like me can call after they have finished work. Now I have to wait until 07:00 to call up again and tell some twat they are a Mike Hunt. Then I have to hope to get them to give it to me quickly and for closer to $500.00 and not the $889.49 their stupid online quote site provided. I mean I then have to pay anoth $339.00 on top for the registration part. Compehensive insurance is another $800.00+ per year. Bought the car for $5,000.00 and pay close to $2,000.00 per year every year just top be able to drive it. That don't include mainenance or running costs (Can anyone say more than $4,000.00 per year in petrol and it's only a 2.5l engine). I'm not sure how I am going to manage to have 2 cars insured with 2 different insurance companies in another 30 years and drive both in to 20+ luxury cars and write them off so I screw said companies over and feel like I have almost broken even with them on costs.

    Are you it's not Richard Head? I feel that all of the financial services sector is much the same. What is the collective noun? ... a wunch of bankers!

      I'm Italian, I have a 0.9L car, I have inherited the best merit rank (It grows better each year without collisions, there are 18 of them and the 1st is the cheapest - means you drive since 20 years without collisions) from my parents thanks to a pretty new law AND I pay 500 € (roughly 750$) a year. AND gasoline costs 1.6 € (approx 2,5 $) per liter. Plus, my 14-years-old car costs no less than 2500 €, so approximately 3800$. Yes, I know something... and as a programmer my wage is about 1800$/month...

      I live in Poland and pay <$700/year for full insurance (including Auto Casco - full refund even if car is stolen or trashed because of my fault), just after two years of owning a car (8yrs, 1.3d). You can buy a compulsory insurance for less than $200/year if you have good insurance merit. Gasoline - $1.6/l Average wage: ~$1200/month (~$1600/month for programmers) Anyone to beat that?

        I forgot to say, mine is compulsory AND the lowest possible price, no extras, with the cheapest insurance. Plus we have to pay 120$/year as "bollo auto", alias the "owning tax"! We're almost neighbours though! :)

              Mine works out at £201.39 fully comp, with protected no-claims (9 years - before that it was all motorcycle insurance and they wouldn't transfer the no claims years from that).

                      I pay income tax of course, but that much less (about 1/7th) of the money I would spend on it on my own...

                                    Sure can. I ride my bicycle to/from work year round. Gas cost $0/yr. Comprehensive Insurance $0/yr. Health benefits $priceless.

                                      Insurance is always a rip off, but be thankful you aren't young: the average cost in the UK for a 17 year old on a small, slow heap is £1096 per year - rising a LOT if you live in an awkward location or get any speeding or similar offences...that's AUS$ 2019 just for the basic insurance...on top of that is road tax and such like. :omg:

                                      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

                                      Reminds me of when Trans Ams first came out. I liked the look, didn't even think of the power involved and I was a 16 year old who should have been blinded by that. The insurance company got that idea out of my head when 1 year's insurance would be 1.2 times the cost of the car. Just as well, I needed that money to get through university training.

                                        Are you it's not Richard Head? I feel that all of the financial services sector is much the same. What is the collective noun? ... a wunch of bankers!

                                        Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                                        Good one, it took me a second to remember that Richard has a nickname.
