Don Seer:
actually in engineering any "metal lid/flap over an engine" is called a bonnet.

only americans call it a 'hood' for cars..

plus both hoods and bonnets go on ya head, lol


car insurance is fucked up over here...

compare to ka rizzle...

when i last renewed i was 27, i hadnt been driving 2 years so was still in my 2 year probation, but i did have 2 years no claims.

i have no points for speeding,  i have a 'performance' group 16 insurance car 2.0 litre / 150 bhp.

road tax is £165 a year (big engine..), insurance for me fully comp is about £720..
i said i do average mileage which they count as up to 10/12k a year which i think is about right.


cwalker amde a good point about our commuting, that and the fact that it is expensive to run a car are reasons why i didnt learn to drive till 25..

thing is.. weather isnt so good here. found that when i broke my car up the other week (oops... lol) that its lethal now compared to when i used to cycle, even using the cycle lanes... (which dont have good enough routes..)

btw dunno why trauma is getting all upset.. we're sayin our prices should come down to match yours... thats fair right? ;)

Primo:
Bostons got a big subway system mayne..Where'd ya git ya info from?

Prices are weird why they fluctuate..There is no reason why gas prices should be so much.

You gotta be rich to have a nice house in the tri-state, boston area. There are alot of lower class people around here simply because the price of living is nuts up here. You can go to Florida and buy a brand new mansion for 300,000$...Up here you can buy a 30 year old small ass house for 300,000$...Here is a perfect example on how expensive it is in the east. You could NEVER get a house up here for 100,000$...A double wide Trailor costs 175,000$ up here when in florida it costs 40,000..Its fucked.

man.. terrorists just need to bomb the fuel depots.. theres only a few.. it'd fuck a country up bad for a bit.

Yup.  I think the only reason they did the world trade center was because it was more of a symbol and a there was more of a dramatic visual effect.  They should go after things like fuel companies and things next if they want to get something accomplished.
