How much though are you spending on your cars. Me I tend to spend less than 3k.

More than yours, less than a Tesla.
I drive a Honda Hybrid.
I like a nice car but I don’t care about status and brands.

How the fuck do people afford these deals though? £500 a month or more, just for the car, never mind tax, insurance and fuel. It’s insane.

I’d guess in Catalonia small dings don’t have much of an effect on resale price, either.

I don't know about that but it seems to me that in Catalonia a car is a mode of transport and in Dortmund it is a status symbol.

Or it could say something about Catalonian driving standards.

You can recognise them because they're the ones that are on fire.

Above about 30mph tyre noise overtakes engine noise, even with petrol engines; unless you're driving a lamborghini or one of those focus RS things designed to sound as hateful as possible even at housing estate speeds.

Turns out Tesla hate and rolling coal is a big thing in USA. There are many vids etc. On line if interested, like this

EVs have become weaponised amid fears over cost of shift to battery power and job losses at carmakers

It’s not just EVs. There are plenty of videos on YouTube of diesel SUVs ‘dust cropping’ cyclists for the lulz. The cunts.
I don’t understand how they do it though. I’ve seen videos in which the car suddenly releases such insanely thick cloud of smoke, it looks like a tank releasing smoke bombs.

I know a Tesla owner.
Told me that he regularly has to pay for software updates.
Broke down recently because apparently the wiring is made of soy so a load of field mice ate his wiring.
I was never buying one but since speaking to him I’m never ever ever buying one.

That’s pretty shite, but the software update shenanigans is by no means limited to Tesla. IIRC, it was either Bahnhof Strasse or Spymaster who mentioned a while ago that their petrol BMW (or one belonging to their spouses, perhaps) refused to start up one morning until the latest software had been installed.

He is lying. Only updates that add features or functions are paid. Normal OTA updates are free.

BMW OTA updates usually arrive overnight (for us anyway) but you can choose when to install them. There are no circumstances where you can't operate the car due to a pending update.

Not me. If I had a car that did that I'd get rid of it. I've never had an issue with an update.

It's amazing what's on Wikipedia.
"Rolling coal is the practice of modifying a diesel engine to emit large amounts of black or grey sooty exhaust fumes—diesel fuel that has not undergone complete combustion.
Rolling coal is sometimes used as a form of anti-environmentalism.[1] Such modifications may include the intentional removal of the particulate filter.[2] Practitioners often additionally modify their vehicles by installing smoke switches, large exhausts,[3] and smoke stacks. Modifications to a vehicle to enable rolling coal may cost from US$200 to US$5,000.[4][5]"

You would think an MOT fail at least

There are no regular technical or emissions inspections in quite a few US states.
We don't have any equivalent of an MoT in Western Australia and life somehow goes on.

I believe in USA a vehicle has to be roadworthy. We do have emission tests in UK as part of MOT and also checks for diesel particulates filters I believe.

You have barely a person per square kilometre in an area more than ten times the size of the UK. There's a lot of stuff needs planning better when people are living on top of each other.
