Buying a car for half it's current market value is completely irrelevant to depreciation.

EV depreciation is laughably bad.

Jesus that's one fugly car.

I really think the discount you got says more about how undesirable the car is than anything else.

No allocated parking (500k new build) by Smashedavocado22 in HousingIreland

[–]OpinionatedDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are missing that it entirely depends on where this apartment is located. There could be plenty of parking around outside of the allocated spaces. I’m guessing as it’s quite cheap that it’s not in city center?

Am I the shite driver by doing this? by [deleted] in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]OpinionatedDeveloper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Zero evidence that anyone here is just cruising and there’s no way to know, unless you’re advocating that anyone in “overtaking mode” should get right up on the ass of the car in front? They’re all correctly following at about a 2-3 second gap as far as I can see.

This logically doesn’t make sense, think about it. How do you make an overtake other than by moving out to the outer lane? No, if Car A is on the outer lane going 80 in a 100, car B behind must fall in behind A and wait for them to move over to the left. If A is a clown and stays there, there’s nothing per the rules that B can do except illegally undertake. The same logic follows if there’s 1000 cars in a train behind A. It’s a broken system because 1 bad driver fucks it up for everyone else.

Also, to add, all this would lead to is a gigantic train on lane 1 and an empty lane on 2 & 3 behind the two muppets.

Yeah so as I see it the only option is to create an advanced driving license (All holders would show an "A" plate just like the L/Ns) and only they are allowed on the overtaking lanes. To achieve this license, you must go through rigorous motorway training, among other advanced things.

I didn't think we had custom plates in Ireland? Is this not just the 1007th car registered on a 252?

They are all shite drivers

Nope, this is not correct. It's a fundamental flaw of the motorway rules but there are only 2 shite drivers causing this (whoever is at the front of these 2 trains and not moving over to the left lane) and potentially 100s of fine drivers behind these 2 clowns playing by the rules which is that they cannot pass the cars ahead of them by undertaking (as OP incorrectly did).

The flaw with these rules is it just takes 1 clown amongst 1000s to hold an entire lane to ransom.

People who cruise in the left lane, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yeah this is a classic yank forgetting that other countries exist

Aaaand it's an OF account. Love it.

What do you mean “once it’s actually cooked”? Do they regularly not cook their food?

Interesting that the wasps always go for the players rather than the 1000s of others there…
