Anyone have stickers or magnets on their car? I know they’re generally considered distasteful; but I’m curious (dealer badges don’t count).

Sometimes I want to put something on my Miata that’s a statement against unnecessary crossovers and SUVs - I get a lot of commentary on how impractical it must be from people driving an empty 5000 lb battering ram without a clue.

its your car! sticker it up if you want to!

I add stickers to my daily driver whenever it gains a dent or scratch! :)

Moving chat: I’ve hopefully moved for the last time in a couple of decades or three, and last move we hired movers. Absolutely recommended. While they were stoner halfwits (I could smell the joint being lit while following their van in my car) they moved everything with no damage for something like $170 an hour, for two guys and a box truck.

If you’re a grown up with a big boy job, hire movers. Then invite your friends for beer and pizza afterwards.

Those types are the worst at having daisy-soft feelings when it comes to political views, my libertarian roomate always whines and cries about "not being able to express (his) views due to being surrounded by liberals" in one of WW's most conservative areas, he's also saying this to a Socialist who's spent 10 years in the military, don't know about putting up with differing opinions, huh?

Too bad about DV though, he was a great source of living vicariously through massively powerful American sports cars, followed by overwhelming Schadenfreud when they proved to be hideously lovely and unreliable when brand new.

How many engines did Chrysler replace for him on his Viper when it was new?

fake edit: saw later posts regarding Aus. pricing, and yeah, you guys get shafted. Sorry about that. Funny thing is that I think Oz is closer to China than the US is. You'd think it would be cheaper.

Nothing to do with China. It might matter for import duty depending on trade agreements between countries, but that gets complicated, for example NZ’s Apple products come via Sydney, and we have free trade with Australia. (We have an FTA with China too anyway for that matter)
Apple sets its global pricing based on the forex vs USD around launch time, then never changes it until the new stuff comes out and the old one drops down the ladder. Occasionally we get lucky, and our markets dollar is strong vs USD and we get a good deal for a generation, but the USD is rarely weak for long.

Also bear in mind that US prices don’t include sales tax. Comparing a 256gb SE;
US $549 = AU824 NZ885
AU $999 inc GST 908 without
NZ $1049 inc GST 955 without

So Au currently getting screwed by Au$84 and NZ by NZ$70. So still getting screwed but not as badly as comparing pre-tax to post-tax. I haven’t been following the forex so no idea how changeable its been during Covid.

I make no claims about my attachment to reality. Notice that literally all of my stickers reference fictional realities.

gently caress no - a tin can lid is perfect for a knothole, for example. If it's a big hole, may have to move up to a quart can. If it's bigger than that, flatten the can and use it rather than the lid. Yes, I've seen all of that, albeit in a barn rather than a house, at least.

Oof. I know about GST, but typically forget about it since it's not a thing here. I pay 8.5% sales tax here in TX, so being reminded of how high GST is elsewhere is just eye-watering.
On a different tack, is it taxation and such that is making it seemingly unsavory for local industry there? I mean, GM killed locally-built Holdens, not sure how far behind Ford is.
Y'all need your own local tech giant, eh?
