How do you view keeping your car going in other countries, are you mean or thrifty?

We bought a hybrid a year ago, maybe more. Value has gone up $10,000 since we bought it.

Last bike I had was my Gold Wing pictured in my profile. Even now though I'd love to get just a Yamaha, Raider. I don't know that I will though. I could get on it still, if I had one...lol

I quit riding back around 2005.  Traded a Suzuki GSXR750 for a Z car.    Too many distracted drivers now a days to feel safe on a bike.  Fuckin cell phones !!!!  But my current Z is just as fast and I have some protection.

The electronics on the new cars make them difficult to fix yourself and it is never cheap. Not like it used to be if you were handy mechanically.

Use to be able to find the electronics flow chart for setting the sensors and other components of the engine management system by just using a good quality multi meter. As long as there was nothing wrong with the ECU it was easy to reset all the components for the computer to run the engine correctly.   But they have now tied just about everything you can think of to run through it to where it’s a pain to get the operational flow chart of just the section that you need to work on and adjust.  There are after market pieces that you can get that will let you into those controls, but won’t tell you if something as simple as a idle air control module is out of adjustment or not working.   It use to be so simple.

I hate to be the one who posts this but they were named after the city in Belgium. Since Brussels is the name of that city their actual name is "Brussels Sprouts". They grow very well in cooler climates and have been popular in Europe for at least the last 500 years. I can also say I have never ever eaten one and don't intend to, I hate cabbage so why eat little ones. Again Sorry about this comment but it has bugged me all my life

You know I actually remember being told this at one point in my life and I still find myself not saying it correctly. Thanks for reminding me lol and I like cabbage. It's good in some ways. I never liked Brussels Sprouts. (Corrected just for you) but I had slow the other day. And they were pretty decent.
