>>16223010
Because it probably doesn't cover shit. I only have liability on the Jeep and the car is only high because I smashed an SL1, but it covers any property or vehicle damage to $30,000 and medical coverage of some sort as well. I also have some tack-ons like roadside and rental reimbursement, but the rental coverage is going away once the project is roadworthy again. Your country also probably has a super low rate of accidents due to rural environments or lower traffic rates.

>your insurance costs more every month than your car payment

You may have cost savings by moving to a new location. Insurance rates are not completely by zip code as they subdivide zip code areas into zones. If your agent is helpful, he will work it out with you in his office. Those telephone-only agents are not so helpful and simply hide behind "we only use zip codes" when that is not the actual case.


>>16223010
>why do you faggots have monthly insurance payments
Because insurance companies do that to allow for faster rate changes. The USA insurance companies collect data all the time from car fax, government, banks, and even adjust your rates based on your credit rating score.
>>
>>16223010
>why do you faggots have monthly insurance payments?
Americans just love paying in instalments because they're kept so poor by instalment payments that they can't pay upfront for things.
I call it the finance cycle.

Personally, I pay for insurance yearly. No interest, no 'insurance premium tax', no rate changes, fully comprehensive by default.

The insurance companies I've used to 6 month or 12 month policies and the rate is locked in for that period. Monthly payments are just so you don't have to drop ~$600 in one go if you don't want to.

When the cop showed up he said really wanted me to go to the hospital because it looked like I had a concussion. The reality was I was so fucking pissed I couldn't even form a coherent sentence. I guess in hindsight that faggot hitting me worked out. He did so much damage to my car is was almost totaled by his insurance, $5900 in damages. My Celica's exterior is basically brand new now. They had to replace every panel on the car minus the bumper. As of now I got 30k sitting in the bank or whenever I decide to get a new car. Shame they stopped making the gt500

>"oh so you think it's not fair fuck off cager you conservative cucks can't even use your brains for a second and hate everything different rah rah rah"

I did it once. Filtered to the front of a light on a main road with two lanes going each way. They gave me a warning, and said "now wait until that whole lane has passed and take your place" while recounting a story about a "shithead liberal" who "hated rules and had no respect". The guy paraphrased in the greentext, obviously.

And you know, the paraphrased greentext guy's third-hand words are spot on. I looked that officer in the eyes while he was talking about how following the law is just so important and he looked like he was talking about fucking jesus. Not a thought in his head except for a grand feeling of importance, glory, and justice.

I have two accidents on my record, one was ruled no fault by the officer on scene but somehow was decided by insurance that it was mine, the other wasn't my fault because rear ended. I have the bare basics required by my dealership, any extra insurance would raise my monthly payment by over $100.

So it's both. Accidents or bad marks on driving record, provider 100% jewing the shit out of people.

Where do you faggots get the retarded custom of never identifying your problem vehicles? This gotta be some teencunt shit because only teens and other mindless creatures would embrace such a meme and Americucks are teens until forty.

Go buy some UV oil dye and a cheap penlight, though the larger HVAC lights are nicer to use. Drive car, shine light underneath at night.

You can get dyes for all automotive fluids.

Example:
https://www.amazon.com/Tracer-Products-TP34000601-Fluorescent-Detection/dp/B000JFHNTM

UV lights are cheap so find one you like.

>>16226018
>>hard to find some place that will finance without raping me.

Wrong strategy. Never, never daily a toy. Never finance a toy. Vehicles are only part of a life strategy. This may be hard to understand, but think it through. Hobbies should not bleed money, and daily drivers should not be thirsty because that sucks money from everything else you use money for.

If mileage matters, that means you can't afford it. If you have to finance, you can't afford it. Classics look nice. That is pretty much all. I grew up working on most of what you likely consider classics when they were relatively new. They ain't that great. Choose carefully and if you can't buy for cash, ignore until you can.

If you want to play with old cars/trucks/bikes, here's how:

Become a good DIY mechanic. This changes your life in wonderful ways and saves you insane amounts of money over time. It complements many jobs. It makes you versatile. You will feel the powah.

A pickup truck is extremely useful. Large, small, whatever, IDGAF, but trucks > cars for getting shit done. Small utterly reliable truck with plentiful parts is best for daily. Cheap, plentiful parts and aftermarket support are vital for any daily.

Acquire tools and knowledge. Become a mobility fanatic so you can move the tools when you move. Learn about job boxes and other tradie work solutions. Become a fucking human encyclopedia regarding vehicles, theory of operation, wiring, troubleshooting, etc.

You'll play with various vehicles along the way. You will make mistakes. You will break things. All this is totally worth knowledge and power gained.

Do this right and you'll end up awash in toys. Take a community college auto shop course if possible. Totally fucking worth it.

Have fun. Also, cars are boring. Baiku = better and you can fit more in your garage.
>>
>>16226807
My redneckbro schooled me on insurance. You can shop for lowest rates easily in Burgerland and switch companies constantly. He'd do insurance jobs on his and other vehicles which were bought cheap, turn a nice profit, then switch companies.

Also learned how to total any unibody car. Hit it hard in a rear quarter enough to buckle structure. For trucks, hit them enough to bend the frame at a crush zone and/or buckle the cab floor.

Most fun was ramming the fuck out of a Caddy with his wrecker. Most push bumpers are for pushing, but he built that one for war. He sat in the Caddy and held the brakes, I drilled it, then drove away while he reported a "hit and run".

BTW this shit doesn't move your insurance rates. Legit wrecks are enormously more common and the insurance co's wallow in money. Now go hunt a deal.

You have to keep in mind, it's not that much more common to get into an accident on a motorcycle than in a car.

The only real difference is that if you ARE in an accident on a bike, you're more likely to get seriously injured.

That being said, you need to armor yourself to the teeth, physically and psychologically. You can't skimp on gear, and you need to learn how to identify "problem situations" for a motorcycle.

the single most common crash type between a motorcycle and a car is a person turning in front of you.

The limeys call this a "SMIDSY, or a "Sorry mate, didn't see ya" because that's what they all say when they wind up having a motorcycle crash into them. This is also where the phrase/slogan "Look twice for motorcycles" comes from.

And one thing you should know is that almost all motorcycle crashes are non-fatal crashes involving only the motorcycle, because the rider didn't think they could lean enough in a turn. Hint - they could have.
Like I said, these crashes are almost always non-fatal.

Yes, and this is bullshit.

she was looking for a van for hella long then found a 30y.o Toyota van on cl. the ad was well written from another girl who lives in it and also liked rock climbing. they had just done thousands of dollars of repair work to get it running great, oh man, the stars have aligned. the girl was driving from NM to OR where we were . we ask the girl if she can stop at dad,s house to get the van looked over at his shop.well as she is passing through NV (dad's shop is there) she suddenly decided she doesn't wanna sell it anymore. then she continues on to OR and then calls my girl back to meet her cause now she does want to sell it. red flag, I mention this and she says it's okay, she really wants the van. then we try to arrange her to meet a mechanic we chose and instead drives it to another mechanic right next to the girls workplace.he says it's fine. during the test drive I start noticing problems mentioned in a buyer's guide. and the mechanic is like "oh it's fine, old cars do that" also during test drive my girl is hella stressed out about buying a new car and then I'm trying to find a freeway to drive it on and she's like, "no let's just get this done and over with I'm really stressed out" and of course it makes wierd fucked up noises at freeway speeds. and then the girl selling it was also so anxious and emotionally upset and clearly wanted the van gone and kept talking about how much money she's thrown at itm. even after the purchase I keep pestering her to get a second mechanic to look it over and I guess the thought of it being a lemon stressed her out so she kept saying "no, it's fine, I'll have my dad check it out after I drive it back to Vegas next week" and of course she keeps dragging that out and then the van gets stolen with all her shit in in two weeks later cause she never took it home to get locks on it ffs. she did finally get it back and get it home and of course there are a million things wrong with it

Good thing I'm not a poor fag and didn't marry some gutter tramp. If you must know, she already has enough cash herself to pay for school. Our finances are together so when I say pay I mean it is a deduction from our net worth. Even if we didn't have the cash, I could pay for it with my salary.

Not everywhere has super anal cops.
I'll follow road rules to the letter and be fine, but I know as soon as I touch that grey area then it's anyones game, but I've met nothing but calm and fair police on my travels. Shit, I've been let off doing 110km/h in a 70 zone. Accept your fate and pray to the Fines God that he may have mercy on your wallet.

I think mostly it's just people that justify their breaking of the law as "YEAH WELL THAT'S BULLSHIT" even though they already knew it was against that law and tried to get away with it, so dumb games, prizes etc. They may not like how it be, but it do.

This isn't true at all. :/
Minimum insurance is by state for one. My state minimum is 100,000 of medical bills and 30,000 property damage. Home state is 250,000 medical and 30,000 property damage. Plus, any retard also carries their own insurance for underinsured or uninsured drivers which literally costs me $20/year for two cars to carry for that policy rider for both property damage and medical bills.

Where the fuck do you people live honestly in my province most used cars never go above 100 bucks a month to insure and as soon as you have a license (16 years old) and the title to a vehicle you can insure it at 100 DOLLARS A MONTH IN YOUR NAME until you get tickets, accidents etc. Its even public insurance for christ sake.

you in Alberta too? ive been with RBC for about 10 years and anything i insure with them is $60 a month only. ever since my early 20s even my 3/4 ton chevy was $60 even

What the fuck dude 110kmph is like 68mph That's nothing. I've passed cops on 50mph roads, doing 110 only to slow down to 80mph once in front of them and have them do nothing.

I've met cops while doing 90 in a 30 only for nothing to happen.

I generally don't like cops, but the amount of times that I could've gone to jail and didn't because of chill cops is astounding.

Sometimes you can get away with a normal 32mm socket, other ecotec's I've worked on you need a specific shallow 32mm socket due to clearance issues with the aforementioned intake manifold
