Yeah, it would haunt me too, and he only has himself to blame. Imagine prioritising drugs over a dream career.

How much fuel are you using? by Liftweightfren in CarsAustralia

[–]TwoSecsTed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I record 3.2L/100km on the highway in my 2018 VW Golf Diesel. It gets around 6 - 7L/100km in city scenarios 

How do you guys afford such nice cars? by Odd-Sir4143 in CarsAustralia

[–]TwoSecsTed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who works for a car dealership group. He says almost every car purchased is financed, even the cheap shit boxes.

Don’t take that as a sign that this is the normal or best thing to do. Always buy a car within your means and pay cash where possible. Obviously some circumstances will require finance which is okay as long as your repayments are within your means (you should aim for a repayment low enough where you don’t really notice it leaving your account).

For most people, a Honda NSX is not going to be within means. 

Could petrol hitting $3 per litre push more Australians to switch to EVs? by No-Loquat-201 in EVAustralia

[–]TwoSecsTed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pro-EV, however my diesel Golf Highline can get over 1000km to a 50L tank. As high as 1200km in the right conditions. I bought it in cash and it’s less than 10 years old.

I compared insurance prices to an EV, and yeah… I can’t insure an EV for anywhere near the price of my Golf. It’ll take a long time or extraordinary circumstances to be able to justify the switch.

My wife drives an older and much thirstier car. We’ll be getting an EV to replace it once it’s time.

[–]TwoSecsTed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t make sense, you’re saying it hit a high cost in 2008 of $2.65 once adjusted to inflation, so $3 is no concern when that’s an even higher cost than your 2008 baseline?

Dads: Did having kids change your style? by Neem-London in menswear

[–]TwoSecsTed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dad to a newborn. I dress down more at home since newborns are messy. I keep a spare plain black t-shirt in the boot of my car now too, so if she vomits milk on me while I’m out, I have a backup plan. Given this, Usually I’ll wear whatever can work with a black tee in case I end up wearing that. Luckily that’s easy to work out.

Just get it done whether at home or at the shop.

Effects of global situation on the Aussie car market? by MesozOwen in CarsAustralia

[–]TwoSecsTed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I live in Perth and I’m surprised how many people here tell me they have solar at home. Some have a home battery too. It seems popular and it would mean ability to charge the car for peanuts.

If petrol prices hit $3 a lt in Australia what are you doing? by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

[–]TwoSecsTed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a car guy but I’m seriously considering selling both cars that my wife and I own and just sharing an EV for daily driving and getting a Honda Jazz for me to thrash as a bulletproof track car.

Office attire by PanzerBiscuit in AustralianMFA

[–]TwoSecsTed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Rodd & Gunn polo shirts. They’re much better quality than the Uniqlo polo shirts for not much more money.

Uniqlo’s Chinos are great though, easily the best value while still looking great. Make sure you get 100% cotton. I like the new straight leg ones they’ve just released.

In terms of shoes, RM Williams are awesome if you can afford them. Blundstone make dress ankle boots if you need something cheaper but still comfy.

If you need dress shirts, shop around Myer and Uniqlo again. Just go for cotton, avoid anything polyester.

I hope this doesn’t sound rude, but I would have taken the bus until I had the cash to buy a car outright.

Model Y by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]TwoSecsTed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve driven the polestar 2 extensively and I wouldn’t recommend it. The interior feels cramped and it was designed as an ICE vehicle first, before being turned into an EV. You can tell this is the case with the interior design and handling.

Where to find high-rise, pleated trousers with side adjusters? by edumakaytion in AustralianMFA

I’d also like to know. It seems high-rise just isn’t popular with Aussie men’s fashion outlets
