Recently my parents got a car for emergency situations (like dropping my sister to school when busses are cancelled and she can’t bike because of rain). And when I did the research for a car with them, I realised just how good cars with sub 1L engines are (3-4l per 100km in the city). Sure, they are not gonna be fast, but they are still faster than the speed limit of 120km/h on our highways here. I am personally hoping to buy a rx8 or a na miata soon for enthusiast reasons. Modern transport should be 100% public.
if public transport is a valid alternative (cheaper, less crowded, more comfortable) i will use it. but currenly it is not. so i will drive my 1st gen yaris 1.0. besides 70€ of gas a month, there ate no other operation costs.
fair points, a 1 litre car like this which is considered very safe basically costs nothing to ensure. i mainly forgot because it’s technically part of a company fleet of a family member, and they just pay the minescule bill.
it is a toyota. there are no broken parts.
i am not planning to sell it, it was already worth less than 1500€
oil doesn’t really cost much either, especially because i change it myself.
tires last really long and if you buy slightly used ones from someone who sold their car you can save a lot of money.
lol! I just find it interesting how stuff is misconstrued even before the time of the internet (this particular myth has been around for many decades).
The boomers free lunch was the planet they ate up. Nah I know it's the rich I'm j/k, but why give them free anything yeah, the children yearn for them mines and meatpackers.
People don’t seem to understand Boris is trying to fool search engines with these articles.
When searching for “Boris Johnson cheese” you used to get articles about his illegal cheese and wine party during the pandemic. Now you get articles like this.
Whenever you see an absurd Boris Johnson article, he’s trying to push down some other story on Google.
Yeah, same with the £300 million to the NHS on the side of a bus. He then did some bizarre interview talking about how he makes model buses out of old boxes in his free time.
Sometimes I think about how we might make a public dining hall that people would choose to eat at, rather than go as a last resort. Sort of how U.S. public housing is dumpy while some European social housing is actually desirable.
