Coming to a roadhouse near you! I'm not sure how many brains you would have after a career of this shit, training takes dedication or masochism, stupidity too, but that will come with experience, but I think that quality is required to even begin . :lol:

This was big in Russia, before the war, but I think they all joined the army and were killed off.

Makes you realize what a pussy Will Smith is. Chris Rock barely flinched.

For the first time in 17 years VW is no longer most popular in NL. KIA took that position in 2022. Not just EVs but they do well too. 2nd and 3rd most sold car here is a KIA. Not in top 10 stolen cars here either, that's mostly Toyotas and VWs.

The problem was stopped here by government regulation in 2007 requiring immobilizers, so KIA doesn't have the vulnerabilities they do in the states. You would think with all the antitheft systems, GPS tracking and camera's around that car stealing would drop over time. However there is an international market in stolen cars thanks to shipping containers and they often show up in Africa or the middle east

Required in every new car by EU law since 1998. Before that it was a major issue, though not as common as getting your bicycle stolen :lol: Roughly 45% of the stolen cars here are found and returned, most of the other half indeed goes to Africa. Personally I'm insured and would not mind someone stealing my car - obviously different when you just got a new one. The latest KIA models look pretty good, what model are you getting?

I looked into importing a Fiat 500e (the first generation released and flopped in California) about 6 years ago. Roughly $10-13K. They're old with inferior batteries but back then it was still a relatively cheap EV option for those who didn't need a huge range.

I got a 2017 KIA optima EX from the dealer with a 4 year full warranty, low KM and excellent condition. I don't like buying new, too much value lost when you drive it off the lot. I was perfectly happy with my little Toyota echo, affectionally know as the golden piss pot, until someone went through a stop sign and wrote it off! There are limited options for used cars around here and the only thing I would consider buying new would be a compact EV, but that would be when they get a lot cheaper, better and more available. This is one is highly rated by reviews and has very good gas mileage. I would have prefered something smaller, but had limited time and options.
