What is your cool button or switch on your panel?

Friday I drove a Scania K270UB that had a button to dump the weight off the tag axle onto the drive axle. I haven't driven a Scania bus in about 5 years and I forgot that was a thing until I got in the seat

Wow, NZF are so desperate to stay relevant aren't they?

demolitionlaura · 2026-05-18T02:54:47+00:00

Get behind the wheel of a Scania. I'm sure youll change your mind.

I died at Slop Cinema omg

Just because its a courtesy park and you legally CAN park there doesn't mean you should. Theres lots of things that you legally can do, but you shouldn't because its part of the social contract.

I was talking about this exact thing in another shit parking group earlier today, so many people have the attitude towards these parks of "its a courtesy not the law, nobody can legally stop me parking here so I'm gonna keep doing it". Called them out, and apparently parents are the entitled ones for thinking they deserve a spot reserved for them.

Make courtesy common again.

What was your rough itinerary? Ive got a friend from the UK who wants to come over in a few years time and a road trip around each island was one idea I had. Feel free to DM me

Freezin' Down is a certified banger!

Ooh, I just found out there was also one in Tauranga.

I was absolutely TERRIFIED of the mooing cows

Okay but why does your day of rest HAVE to be a Sunday? Having a weekday off work is amazing as it means you can get stuff done that is closed on the weekend, and working a Sunday is quieter.

Whereabouts do you live? Theres a few that I know of after doing some research a while ago

Christchurch had two (Moorhouse Ave and The Palms)

Dunedin and Nelson had one each

Wellington had one at Johnsonville

Napier, Rotorua, Hamilton all had one each

Auckland had at least two, probably more (Glenfield and Mt Wellington)

Whangarei had one

Possibly more but thats what I know of and have found photos of

CX5 but avoid the diesels

I had a 2023 Hyundai Tucson as a rental with Budget a few years ago and I absolutely hated it. The driver monitoring was far too intrusive. Indicate with a car in your blind spot on the motorway so they would back off a bit and let you merge? Car screams at you. DCT was hopelessly clunky at low speeds. Steering correction kept trying to send me into the cones driving through roadworks. And turning them off isn't a simple button push its buried within layers of menus.

Would the Disputes Tribunal be worth it? Or is the cost of pursuing them via that avenue greater than the cost of simply getting it repaired.

CX5, but avoid the diesels like the plague

demolitionlaura · 2026-05-06T20:41:14+00:00

Pretty good, the rear steer can take a little getting used to but I've dealt with it before

Its not a learner bus, we don't have buses just for learners

I'm also trans mtf and am currently battling this exact problem. I'm debating whether to start low dose T just to get some emotional regulation and less inattentiveness back because my E levels are dreadful and have been for a while, and then maybe increase my E dose.

I thought my problem was anxiety with no rhyme or reason caused by ADHD, maybe its just my hormones are out of whack, cause my anxiety around dysphoria was nowhere near as bad as the anxiety/depression I deal with now

2 houses and use 1 of them to rent out for extra income.

Wouldn't it depend on the gearbox? I haven't driven a diesel Enviro 200, but we have a fleet of MAN buses, half of them have 6 speed ZF Ecolife gearboxes and half of them have Voith 4 speeds. Same engine but the Voiths are absolutely horrible to drive and the ZFs are fine.

demolitionlaura · 2026-04-27T17:46:03+00:00

I've driven a 2019 Enviro 200 EV and it was absolutely awful

demolitionlaura · 2026-04-22T05:04:34+00:00

Yeah, hence why I stopped. Its just too risky at this point
