    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?

        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...

                        I though he'd change his last name to Davis? Every time I see him on TV, I think of his original name before switching channels.

                              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:

                                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!
