>>28994609>I've always wondered how all these car influencers afford insurance (they don't).Car insurance? Dude, $100 a month isn't a big deal. That's the price of a single dinner at a sit down restaurant with a wife and two kids.
>>28993384I have this too, I basically pay them $150 a month just to put my car in the system as having insurance. They don't do SHIT if you actually get in an accident. Their roadside assistance is bullshit too, they will not send help so don't even bother getting it. Have been hung up on too. It's so bad but I'm basically paying a fee to a corporation to not get fined by the government...
>>28991827get quotes, or if your credit is shit get that score up I have 5 cars all with comprehensive , 1k deductible max for the older ones and Im at 2k for 6 months with progressive, was maybe 10% more more when I used to live in DC bc of all the melanin there, but still it was half the price of some companies i quoted most valuable is 2021 toyota, least valuable is probably an 06 Land cruiser , others are all 2010s german

>>28991827>$70/mo for 100/300/100 + 100/100 UM/UIMI still think this is not enough for the modern roads. Around here, 20% are uninsured and 50% are underinsured with fuck-ass state minimums. If they hit you, you're fucked. >>28993384>Some shaniqua will literally hang up on you if you try to put in a claim.Find out who your state agency is for insurance and file a complaint. If you have a paper trail of that happening, they will lose custody of your file and it goes to someone more legally literate.
Holy fuck I hate sedans. I hate trunks. God fucking dammit they are so fucking useless.
I don't understand why wagons and hatchbacks aren't far more popular.
>>28995228Most compact cars and smaller usually end up as a hatchback these days. And wagons were mostly superceded by crossovers/SUVs because the consumer base hates bending their knees

>>28993903>since this is*because this is
>>28992856Only poorfags bitch about them because only poorfags have to deal with them. Bunch of fucking cheesecake factory workers bitching about the long service in their 1 star google review, when they're only there because of a oil change special that comes with a free tire rotation.Most people just go to the stealership or an independent shop that's actually worth it's money, a proper building with clean interiors and organized bays, instead of the gas station mechanic with dogshit all over the place.Are they spending more money at the stealership or that luxury independent mechanic? for sure, but once again, not poorfags.
>>28993826Shops that have race cars standing in the corner are the best. There's a glass place near me with a full track spec FD RX7 and they do the best work for the best price in my city.

hey retards: check your fucking mirrors before opening your door
I'm unironically considering selling my motorcycle to but a bicycle because of this shit. I have to commute in a big city and driving around all these unpredictable retards is giving me anxiety. I could buy a folding bicycle to go to the train station and then unfold it to go to my workplace.
>>28994711The only reason I even ride anymore is because I live in the country. I usually see less than 5 vehicles in total when I ride. If I lived urban or suburbs? Hell no. Might get a Grom or something to goof around on. But I damn sure wouldn't be regularly commuting on a motorcycle. Methheads, elderly retards with the reflexes of a tortoise, jeets (worst of all, by far), women, people fucking around on their phones. It's too much.
>>28991994If you live in a state with lane splitting, you should check before opening your door during extended stops.
>>28991983fuck motorcycle riders that split lanes at high speed. you deserve what you get.
>>28991983Maybe wait in line next time like everybody else. There is two lanes and that biker was driving in the middle of the two.

>>28995345Cool. You didn't go too large.I would've gone with the GT2871R ("disco potato") for the memes but that curve looks very nice.
>>28995365Huh, turns out the disco potato is the GT2860RS. My life has been a lie all this time.

I live in the UK and am looking to get my first carshould I get a shitbox for relatively cheap or something newer on finance etc? I have a well paying job (over £2k take home a month)what other things should I know about insurance, tax etc?
get a manual Honda fit.>anything else I should know you're completely fucking fucked m8. I'm sorry, the only thing I can do is help you make fun of yourselves.
For your first car get a small shitbox especially as a bong. Insurance will decimate you unless you are over 25. If you're young, you want a shitbox as you will bump it, you will scrape it as you and your mates do dumb shit in it for banter.
Never finance a car. It's not worth it apart from in very specific instances and you aren't in that instance, because you're a new driver. Finance is retardedPeople are going to give you all sorts of mad advice on this but the best thing to do is buy a car with a year MOT on it from a local dealer. Google the dealer and find them on Companies House. If the name of the owner or anyone involved is anything other than British don't buy it. Never, ever buy a car from a minority even if you are also a minority >what car should I get any of them really as long as you're spending less than £2500>why £2500because spending any more than that on a first car is pointless because you are going to then want a different car>insuranceget creative with it. don't flat out lie but mess about with the questions and see what it says>taxpay it yearly no point in giving the government more money, even if it is a little bit>why shouldn't I buy a car privatelyBecause it's a horrible experience and most of the "private" sellers and buyers are dealers that nefariously don't want to state themselves as such for a particular car >but what car should I buyFord Mondeo or Focus, most Toyota saloons, Skoda Octavia, VW Passat, those Nissans that taxi drivers like, Vauxhall Vectra or InsigniaComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>28994684Absolutely get a shitbox for cheap, as the chances of you getting into a ding in the first year of driving are fucking astronomical; there's a reason new driver's insurance is so expensive. I bought pic rel, a Ford Ka for £500 in 2017, and it served me well. If you find a few cars you're interested in, check what insurance category they're in (1 to 50, 1 being cheapest) and it'll give you a rough idea as to what'll be the cheapest to insure. Don't automatically assume that cars with tiny engines will be cheapest, insurance companies care more about accident rates than engine size and such. As an example, they quoted me £10,000 for a Chevy Matiz, but only £3,000 for a 1965 Daimler V8. If the car has parking sensors, add it into the modifications section regardless of whether or not it's factory - it'll make your insurance marginally cheaper. something else that helps bring insurance quotes down is to ask for cover to start 27 days from whenever you're quoting.Good luck, and if you sit in the middle lane on the Motorway, I will skull fuck you and cum inside your eye socket.

>>28994376Just got out the dealership, had to cancel. They didn’t want to glue the center console lid back on and it really turned me off. But they wanted to charge me 50% interest on a car with 100k miles that will be 12 years old when im done paying it. It’s worth 10k but after I’m done in 12 years I will have added 20k in interest. Fuck KIA lol.
>>28995219financing is always a bad deal if you are getting used you should go to a used car lotI genuinely think dealers are far scammier than a good used car lot
>>28995222Used car lots are terrible because the cars engines are always destroyed. Some of these lots buy junkyard cars and add a few things and sell it for 5k. I’m going to try Ford, they gave me low interest during the pandemic i think it could be better.
Just because there's a gap between you and the car in front, doesn't mean accelerate until there's no more gap and then get mad when there's no more gap and you can't accelerate anymore.

Hello /o/, I need your help. I have a two (2) car detached garage that is approximately 22' x 22' with a single 16' wide door. There is a 1985 corvette soft top that was backed into the garage corner on the side that doesn't have the door directly in front of it. The corvette's rear end and driver side are totally against the wall and there is no room to get behind nor on the driver side of the car at this time. I have the Harbor Freight Daytona wheel dollies (the foot powered jack version) and have access to the entire passenger side. Those tires are completely flat; I'm assuming the driver side tires are as well. I also have access the entire front end clip, and have a Harbor Freight Daytona long reach low profile jack. I need to get the corvette onto the dollies so I can freely move it around my garage. The corvette has not been started in over 20 years; the soft top is down and I have access to the cabin. I do not know where the key is at this time (I will look though); the wheels are turned no more that half a turn toward the driver's side. What are my options for freeing the corvette from the garage corner? This is what I've been thinking:>Air up passenger side tires and place wheel dollies. Use long reach low profile jack under front to try to turn the corvette. This should make the driver rear tire stationary and allow me enough room to get to the driver front tire to place a dolly. Not sure of viability, especially due to the rear and driver side parked against the walls.>Attach a tow recovery strap to somewhere on front end of corvette and hook up to zero turn mower to try and pull it out. Basically substituting the jack in option 1 for a riding mower. If this isn't successful, then rent a Home Depot truck for less than an hour and use that instead of a riding mower. I have no concrete anchors anywhere in the garage. What are my options? Thanks.>pic sorta related, looks just it.
>>28994896Anon I appreciate the meme response and enjoy a good troll myself, but come on. If I had enough access to all four (4) points I would just do it. But I don't, and it's not a traditional car with clearance and ease of jack points.>>28994905Thank you anon. It's a concrete floor but is pitted and cracked in numerous spots. The jack does have good wheels. When I get it out I plan to use the wheel dollies on it and freely move it around the garage as needed.>>28994913Of coursh! That's why I come to four channel to get all the reassurance I could ever want :^)
>>28994853jack it up, and yank it away from the wall until you have enough room to rotate it.if you cant get a jack deep under the car to lift up either end, jack up one side, put soap water under the other tire, and drag it out that way.you definitely need to inflate those tires first.post pic of the situation
>>28994853>don't know where I'd place the chainC4 owner here. The c4 is notoriously annoying to jack and tow. I'd just loop it around the lower control arms, they're strong and meant to be beat on
>>28994993Thanks anon, appreciate the response. I'll try to grab photos of it at some point. In the mean time, have this hastily drawn MS paint image>pic related>>28995021Thank you anon. I'll keep that in mind for when I do it.
