They're cheap to repair but god almighty are they expensive to insure over here. I'm on my 6th car in about 4 years, and even the big growling range rover wasn't as much as my 1.9l gti sport thingy. I got insurance due in a week, i have no money, new government laws state that if you can't afford insurance, then you have to declare your car off the road, if you don't have a garage or drive way, then you either pay the insurance, or you have to sell the car, only 3 weeks ago i paid for my road tax, yet wihtout insurank;lasjdipjasdajkdad.k FUCKERS THAT'S MY CAR!
And people wonder why i dislike government, if you want to catch drivers uninsured, use all the gizmo's you're wasting our tax money on, don't just charge and fine anyone and everyone without insurance. Cars are one of the very few reasons i'd wish to live in america, but good god you have it good, you gotta stop complaining, fuel, insurance, you name it.
