The only risk with doing that is the sharp depreciation you’re going to take. Everything is massively overvalued right now, which means when the market comes down enough for you to buy the vehicle you actually wanted, you’ll have bought high, and sold low.

We have a government authority that monitors vehicle sales here. If you have any fees, you have to disclose them up front, which goes a long way towards preventing sneaky crap like that.

Yeah, some of the sellers are getting pretty obnoxious in this environment. I did a search of available Tenere 700 inventory (I’ve been presold for months on my inventory, and I had a client with cash in hand, so I was going for a longshot) and discovered one of the local dealers still had several of them left. “Huh,…

We have that here too. It’s also a bill if the ambulance gets called but you don’t go in to the hospital.

Yes.

Not sure I agree with the statement, because the details are very different: The government saving the lives of people who, through no intent of their own need saving, is admirable. We have socialized healthcare here - It’s a great idea, no one hopes to end up with cancer, for example.

Right? This “downgrade” sounds suspiciously like an overwhelming improvement to me.

Probably still a good idea to call in though. If everyone starts adopting the mindset of “I’m sure someone else called in”, no one will end up calling it in in the first place!

For me the worst thing was the multiplayer balance. Whoever thought a rifle that can both see through walls and shoot through them was a good idea deserves to be fired.

Wow, you mean Europeans can do literally the exact same thing as us if they choose? I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Saying “the public needs to accept my risks because I’m too poor to drive safely” is in no way, shape or form the correct response. Hey, sorry you can’t see me braking in the rain, but I can’t afford to replace my light! Oops, sorry I slid off the road in the rain because my tires have no tread left, but shucks, tires…

Not a yank, and to be blunt, the amount of American exceptionalism I always hear as an excuse down there makes it sound like what works for literally everyone else in the world could never work for America. Either the public is simply resistant to change down there, or America is a weird asterisk, in which case: Who…

I’m surprised you guys are so lenient with that. Up here, first time is a temporary impoundment of the vehicle. Second offence is a long-term impoundment of the vehicle and an excessively high fine. Third offence is complete removal of the vehicle and a punishment that can range from fines to jail time, at the judge’s…

I’ve had dozens Harleys in on trade. Have ridden probably a dozen of the things. Have seen probably hundreds of their bikes over the years at the bike shows.

I suppose. Just blows my mind. The English and us have effectively the exact same rules of the road, the Swiss are both similar in rules and climate, and the Germans are fairly well-renowned as drivers worldwide. But all of them are complete amateurs in the eyes of my province, for some reason.

It makes me happy to know you folks also have dummies who can’t drive their own climate.

Thank you. I feel like so many of my peers hide behind a lack of available funds as an excuse as to why they should be exempted from foresight. If you’re that short on funds, you should be more careful, not less careful.

Any source for any of those claims? Because it seems like you’re using data provided from your backside to make claims about how expecting driver competence is unfair to the poor.

And yet, my country takes that license at parity for licensing requirements. Same with China.

I always sigh when I see it here in Vancouver. Vancouver is a literal rainforest, it rains here basically every other day, independent of the season. Yet somehow people are consistently bewildered about how to drive in the rain.
