what happens there stays
I wouldn't pay more, for what they make it for and add in transport and a few other things we are still getting majorly ripped off
And in regards to rego and insurance, both should have nothing to do with a certain cars/bike/truck etc, a "person" should be registered and insured so regardless of what or who's vehicle the person is driving the vehicle and driver will always be covered.
Just my thoughs
Indeed! I am yet so see someone who can drive more than one vehicle at once.......Quote:

Back in the dim & distant past, (mid '80’s) when living in the UK in my pre-car days I had what was known as a Rider Policy. Basically you insured for your largest capacity machine & were covered on any motorcycle you owned (or had permission to ride - up to the insured capacity). I had 7 bikes & the policy was the same price as a single bike policy. Based on the theory that you could only ride one at a time! Still had to register them all though, but didn't keep them all registered all of the time.Quote:

Then there is house & contents insurance on top of that. It sure does all add up!
Most of our policies this year were hiked up :(
Yea that was bs.. Mime jumped $10 a month.Quote:

Dont think you'll ever have a choice, as long as wages increase more than fuel costs as a percentage than it is ok. However that aint going to happen. I just like it it when diesel is cheaper than unleaded.
The problem is not all wages are increasing. Most engineering companies down here haven't increased in some years. Average boiler maker down here $23-$25/ hour..
I know back home it's worse.. And you can't keep increasing as you loose work, so the community drops below the poverty line..
Just be thankfully you haven't got trucks. That's a rip off on the rego and insurance side.
And so cost of goods go up to cover it. The bullshit cycle we are in..Quote:
