If self-driving vehicles are about to become a reality then how come truck licenses are still expensive?

Why don't people ride a motorcycle/scooter to work? Not only do you turn commute/travel into a recreational activity, but it is also a lot more fuel efficient and cheaper.

Pic related my ride, I normally get 50mpg, and it goes up to nearly 70 on freeway. My commute is cut by half, I get free parking, and it is a real chick magnet. Nothing wakes you up in the morning quite like ride on a motorcycle, it is stronger than any coffee.

Calling all kiwifags who have ever imported cars from japan

Lets have a serious thread for once. I have found a nice car I want and I need to know how I am going to get it across the ditch.
First of all what laws are in place for privatley importing cars and what are some effective ways of getting around them?
Secondly is there a company that will specify in retrieving the car from the seller, putting it in a crate and onto a boat that will ship it to my front yard?
Thirdly, what exactly do I need to know insurance wise? Do I tell them at all?
As an overall rough estimate how much will shipping fees cost in NZD?

I live in the south island and the car I am looking at is in Shimane province

Bought a cheap manual car yesterday. First time ever driving one. My main problem is I stall the engine when I try to start accelerating from a stop. I either don't accelerate fast enough or I let up on the clutch too soon and stall the car or spin the tires and jump. Is there anyway to quit doing this or does it just require more practice?

Also I'm not going to break something by stalling so much right? Car only has 30k miles and got it for $3000. I'm gonna keep practicing but any general tips? The car salesman drove it like a race car, shifted silky smooth. That's my goal, 0-60 from stop as quick as I can. I know it takes experience though.

Sup /o/
I got drunk last week and signed up for a mechanic course that starts monday.
Did I fuck up ?
Should I bother going there ?

I will keep a journal on here with updates, much like truckerfag does, but only with wrenches.

Plush side is that I live in a VAG dominated country, so there is plenty of work for everybody

Can anyone Kindly red pill me on the Audi RS7?The first time I heard about it was on an article about these guys who blew up ATMs and the getaway car was an Rs7. Originally I wanted a two door high-performance sports car like evora from Lotus or a Porsche but after riding around in a similar vehicle I realize how much trouble it is just as a daily driver so I want a high-performance four door that I can drive everyday comfortably. I was on to the Nissan GTR but it's just lacking in style and spirit. I'm not a fan of Nissan since extensively driving a $60,000 decked out Murano and a top trim altima me I've driven the crap out of Toyota so Japanese doesn't excite me right now.

I have nearly a quarter million dollars in trust coming to me in less than a year.I would comfortably spend up to $150,000.i'm not interested in a lower and Italian or other high and exotic I would rather have something more attuned to driving every day but still being an exceptional automotive experience

How important is a knock sensor? Basically just got my car and check engine light was on, code showed a bad knock sensor. Just took out the old knock sensor and there was nothing connected to it. The only thing that could seemingly be connected to it are cut wires in a tube. So replacing the knock sensor won't do anything if there's nothing to read it. My brother says the car shouldn't be daily drive without the knock sensor. So now I have to order the wire harness. Is it okay to drive without the knock sensor connected to anything?

Pic related: looks like tube without connector at the end.
