I want you to know that I passed on adding anything to 38,25,just
passed test... ;-)

 

When my son was in Germany he told me what auto insurance costs and I just
about had a hemorrhage. I have 4 vehicles and one bike and your insurance
is more for one vehicle that all mine put together $1150.00 full coverage.
You guys across the big pond need a serious pay raise.

That's why Jeeps aren't so popular here - a Wrangler Sahara costs $33,000,
and the dealer charges $135 per hour.

I bought my 04 Sahara with the duel top tax title and tags for $22,500 and
sold the hard top for $1500. I guess it is no difference in buying a BMW or
Mercedes or Jag in the states they are pricy but in their native land they
are reasonable.
