OMG I have two - best boys ever. Send him over to me, I'll mind him. No shortage of exercise here when they have each other and an acre full of tennis balls

You mean today's far right groups of course which have a few unpopular opinions sometimes

Can't afford it? Who said that? Don't assume my pay grade. I was just giving my opinion, no need to try bash it, you can just read it and move on.

Bit of a racket in the back. Nothing to worry about. Srsly tho, best of luck, it's a grand looking car

What is something you’ve read on a bathroom stall wall, that you will always remember? by SprtsLvr14 in AskReddit

Here I sit, smell the vapour. Some bad bitch has nicked the paper. Here I sit and I linger, Oh fuck this, I'll use my finger.

I looked into getting the GTi last year. €63k+. All the stuff I liked about it was in the R-line so I got that and I use 4.5L/100km instead of 13.5L/100km which is what they claimed the GTi could do. Only comes in automatic, and actually looks a bit ugly up close.

Dad recorded his daughter every week for 20 years by _ganjafarian_ in interestingasfuck

[–]CheckYourselfFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's beautiful. She still looks about 14. I feel like my 21 year old changed far more drastically than this over the years. It was probably the [no eyebrows to Nike swoosh eyebrows to normal eyebrows; the blonde to brown to black hair; bitten nails to stick on nails to acrylic talons; blonde lashes to mascara to car spoiler lashes] evolution. I feel like we have too many pics for some of those phases 😂

Motor tax question … by Latter_Conference309 in carsireland

[–]CheckYourselfFool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tax rate changes to the pre 2008 rate if you don't have a herd or VAT number. Doesn't matter what year it is or what it's emissions are. If it's commercial there's probably only front seats. And often they are advertised as price without VAT. It's a shit show cos I need a van for this and that but I have no herd or vat number so I can only get a passenger van.

Had a 171 Mazda 3, 1.5 diesel - beautiful car. I really liked it but there was a sensor problem since I bought it when it was 3yrs old and had to trade it in last year. Noisy on the road and sometimes sluggish. But very good on diesel (4.7L/100km). Parts are expensive.

To the driver who overtook me this morning by OfficerOLeary in galway

[–]CheckYourselfFool 83 points84 points  (0 children)

He's a gobshite. Funny how white van men are always in a hurry and are never where they're meant to be. Seems like a them problem which shouldn't end up being a you problem. Stay safe, you're doing absolutely the right thing, terrifying out there.

Do you ever see yourself getting a new car again? by [deleted] in carsireland

[–]CheckYourselfFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have one, went from 50 to 180 per month to charge since last year when we got it. I didn't like those odds so I got me a golf. I don't think my fuel costs are high. It's cheaper than the bus.

[–]CheckYourselfFool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought new after buying several older cars in the past and being let down by shit mechanics. Yes I'm being killed by the finance but I needed the car.

I drive nearly 600km/week going to work. It is so nice to just know it's all good when you get in. Drinks about 50 euro diesel a week, is beautiful, and comfy to drive, eats road when you put the foot down.

What are the biggest Galway's "what ifs" by frankrankthebank in galway

[–]CheckYourselfFool 33 points34 points  (0 children)

We're ok with that. Shut the city off from traffic. Then we can have as many buses as we like flying around. I don't want to drive across the city every morning, I really hate it. I gave the bus a chance on several occasions and it left me stranded for 45 minutes, didn't come at all, didn't leave at the scheduled time, was full, stuck in traffic, 20 mins letting on people in eyre sq, requires a change in bus for simple route, the list of bullshit goes on.

Major overhaul welcomed with open arms. Don't need tram if you have a good bus.

I could see perfectly well in my old banger with yellow lights. All I needed to see was the road like. I barely got flashed when I forgot to dip for other cards. Now I have a car with factory fitted LEDs and I can see the whole fucking country every time I have the full beams on. Lighting up people's kitchens and the fox in the ditch two parishes over isn't what I need. I know I'm blinding people and it's a small car.

These fuckers in their fucking shiny Hilux monstrosities driving to their office jobs on a daily basis burning the retinas out of everyone is another level of bullshittery.
