    There is absolutely nothing appealing about any of that. Everything wrong with America.

    How big and heavy is the q2? 150 bhp doesn't sound a lot for a 4x4?

    Congrats though. Audis are lovely to drive.

    My car (that I got in September) was in for MOT this morning. Needed one new wiper blade to pass. However the brake pads, brake discs, back wiper and both back tyres (on from original, 2013 plate) were "advisory." I only do about 6 miles a day now so I'm hoping this outlay will be the only work I ever need to do on it before handing over the keys to my daughter in 16 years time. If I tell myself that, the £350 bill is a bit easier to stomach.

    I filled a price comparison website in and was quoted some car insurance at £450 a year, but I told them that I hadn't actually bought the car in question yet. When I rang them up today and told them I had bought it, they quoted my £940 on the basis that, despite having had a licence since 2006, having been insured on five different cars over the years, and driving different things at work, my lack of experience with this new vehicle would automatically revert me to being a twenty year old risk retard. What? Somebody else will do it for closer to £600, but even that annoys me.

    A 2002 Mini that my uncle said I can have (nice of him). It actually has the same engine, and no doubt most other components, as the Mini my mother owns, which I have been fully insured on since late-2014. Not interested mate sorry.

    The best I can find is sixty quid a month, which is about what my bus pass costs, so it is worth it to not have to get the bus.

    I'd genocide a small village if it meant not having to get the bus. Which it would. Unless they bus prisoners to prison.

    Remember the Neon? Well, it couldn't pass inspection in PA, what with it not having a horn, parking brake, catalytic converter, correct-colored turn signals, being too loud, etc. So I had to "gift" it to my mother and she registered it in FL, where there is no safety or emissions inspection. Freedomz.

    I'm going to ask the boss can I get rid of the Volvo and get a real van. Hopefully break even if we convert it back into a car.

    Snowed yesterday and it's been slick as fuck, so I have handbrake-turned every corner in our last two commutes. My wife shouts at me but then she lols, so it's all good. The parking brake on the Fiat is hilariously weak though.

    Anyone have any opinions on a Peugeot 208? It'd be my first car so don't need anything too fancy. I'm learning in that, so I at least know how it drives.

    Otherwise I know almost zero about cars

    Maybe but they were always the 2nd most unpopular Jag (after the Mondeo). A mate of mine bought one for £6500 in 2011.

    They're not worth a fortune.

    With a second car it's best to get something that's more of a contrast, something that has the opposite strengths and weaknesses of the main car. If you enjoy an enthusiastic drive anyway.

    Nothing is wrong with the Volvo. Ive just decided I want something fresh. Im open to keep the Volvo as a second car, but I will probably sell it if I make the right choice. Budget is about 12k.
