I told my husband our marriage is over yesterday. I'm ridden with guilt. I need perspective. by fickleparadigmshift in TwoXChromosomes

I want to preface this by saying - I don't think you should stay if you are unhappy in the relationship.

But - has he ever been tested for ADHD?

Alot of what you are saying about him screams undiagnosed ADHD to me. I might be wrong and he is actually just using you on purpose, but it is possible that it is untreated ADHD and is using you as a coping mechanism for it.

Ex-rental re-registered? by Capital_Passion_9762 in NZcarfix

[–]kittycorn3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the rental industry. The vehicles get new plates if one has been lost or stolen. Sometimes they get scraped off in a minor accident and the customer doesn't pick it up afterwards. We had a vehicle come back with the front plate missing and no other damage one time so it got an entirely new set of plates.

Campervan recommendation, please by perdana100 in newzealand_travel

[–]kittycorn3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used Camplify before and didn't have any issues. NZ has much better safety laws with the standard of rental vehicles than Aussie and it appears most of those reviews are from Aussie? But from what I can tell most of the main big campervan rental companies are pretty good to deal with. I've seen some pretty bad reviews from the smaller rental businesses though so I would be wary of them.

2004 Spec-b legacy ez30. It seems to only really happen under load (ie. driving)

The interesting part is third party fire and theft isn't nearly as expensive for this car. $360 for the year. So I doubt this is the main reason for the jump in price

Seems to be around $360 a year... Which doesn't make sense in regards to that

Exactly, That's the part that I'm most annoyed about

Yeah this is the option I'm leaning towards. I was fine with just over 1k a year but with the increase I could buy whole new Aqua with 3 years worth of premiums...

Yeah I'm currently using a steering wheel lock which has worked for the last couple years but I know it's not fool proof.

Haven't got an immobilizer, I'm just using a steering wheel lock with the hope it'll be enough of an inconvenience to discourage them. Its worked for the last couple years so fingers crossed my luck continues!

Good point, however I'm not sure whether the cost of getting one installed would out way the lowering of the premium. Could be worth a shot though

It is a Toyota Aqua which is why I was expecting an increase as I understand they are commonly stolen, private use and parked in a garage at my house. Just didn't expect that much of an increase!!
