What's the biggest rip-off in the car world?

My worst experience was with a garage who wanted to charge me £50 to read out my check engine light… bought a £3 eBay plug and did it myself…

Insurance. I am very salty over the fact that the rates I pay as a male under 25 is double what the rate is for females in the same age bracket. When I got my license at 16, my rates were nearly $300/mo. And 6 years later my bill is still $160/mo. I have full coverage now too, but I drive a near base Mazda3. No accidents, no tickets, never so much as ran a red light, I keep racing to track and specific SCCA meets, in all conditoons, ice rain snow wind over tarmac and gravel, and I have military vehicle licenses and safety courses under my belt too.

Meanwhile, my buddies girlfriend, had an STi, new at the time, since she was 16, and her rate is lower than mine. She has 2 tickets and 1 accident on record too.

Blows my mind.

Holy crap. When I was 16, I only paid $140 per month liability for 1 car. (Own insurance policy) currently, I’m 22 paying $95 for full coverage on 2 vehicles, and my wife. Moral of the story. Get married.

Wow that is crazy, your rates are crazy high. I had full coverage from the second I got my license and it was cheaper than what you pay now. Might just be your insurance company

Honda advertising VTEC like it’s something special. Lots of car companies use a system very similar to VTEC in their engines, it’s just Honda fanboys that think it’s the best discovery in the world

It was a great discovery, fanboy of not. Some people glorify it more than they need too, but you cant say it wasnt a good discovery.
