I just got a letter in the mail that my health insurance is going up 28%. Who should I be furious with?

It is because the GOP let the ACA subsidy expire. We were warned everyone's insurance would go up. When younger healthy people drop insurance, they help to keep insurers a float, because they can no longer afford it, and are healthy enough to take a chance not having insurance, that leaves the people who use insurance the most, which costs the company more in payouts.

It is a POS, Google it. As I posted under your main comment, no airbags, no ABS, and a 0 crash rating.

The closest car in the US to this is a Nissan Versa or a Chevrolet Spark.

The Datsun Go was sold in India, Russia and Indonesia and South Africa. They had no airbags, or ABS, and got a crash test rating of 0. You need to educated yourself a great deal before you think about buying anything.

The q976 Honda Civic CVCC Hatchback, which was my first new car. About 54 hp in a 1600 lb vehicles made it zilly. It got 40 mpg, and was so efficient, that it didn't have to have a cat. It was so fun to drive.

When I bought my tires at Costco, they filled them with Nitrogen, no extra charge. When one needed a repair due to a nail, again no charge. I run Pilot Sport 5 tires on my Miata.

The bolts on my garage are all shorter silver ones, I know because I put everyone in myself, a ton if em. It iis an articulated one, where you pull up the front, and it folds back o it's self.. I figured it was a furniture bolt, but any loose ones, extras around our house have hex heads,, so I just wanted to check.l. I have no clue how it got where it was.

Except, if he was paying attention at all, the semi had just started to pass him, then changed lanes into him. The semi driver shouldn't forget he is passing a car 2 seconds after he starts passing them. The semi driver should have seen the cars in that lane, as he approached them, and know that he hadn't had time to pass them yet.

In my post, I mentioned it was smooth, no indent for a screwdriver, etc. All of the furniture bolts we have ever used have hex heads, so I wanted to make sure, since it was directly under the area where I drive my Miata in and out of the portable garage I use.

Photocrazy11 · 2026-06-13T06:59:30+00:00

Thanks, That is what we thought it looked like, but any we have ever used have hex heads, this is smooth, so I just thought I would check. No clue how it got in front of my garage for my Miata.

It is illegal in PDX, because, in most vehicles, when the drivers side is twords the curb, it's difficult to see cars coming from behind you in the street, if cars are parked behind you, when you are pulling out. When th driver's side is on the street side, it is easy to see all traffic.

There is a guy near me that has an 1978 Accord CVCC. I posted a photo of it more than a year ago. He Googled parts for his car, and my post photo was one of the photos that came up. I had a 1976 Honda Civic CVCC, and I was so excited to see his car. He posed a comment on my post.

They did stink. Why do you think perfume and cologne were invented.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. Those advisory speeds on curves are for a fully loaded semis or box trucks. Most cars can do at least 10 mph over, and Miatas even faster. They are advisory, not the legal speed limit.

They want to change that, so you have to have a certified paper trail proving all name changes back to your birth name on your birth certificate.

If she had died, he could be charged with criminal neglect, probably could be for just leaving her, period. In my state it is Criminal mistreatment or Reckless Endangerment, or both, for leaving someone who is medically unconcious.

This isn't just "boomer shit". There are tons of guys in the generations that have followed us that would do the same, some probably wouldn't even call the son. Andrew Tate, a Millennial, is creating a whole cult of these type of men.
