6.5 KM per liter... with that gas mileage you'd better be filthy rich and uncaring of expenses or ready to call for a place in a poorhouse, hereabout. :-?

Ever since last Friday, gasoline costs the trifle of 1.75

Taxes

• Eco taxes
• 'We know you wont stop driving no matter how much we charge' tax
• 'Filling budget holes without solving the real problem' tax

And even in the mideast they arent that low on prices... Iraq is on euro levels even though they have loads of cheap to refine oil.

'Filling budget holes without solving the real problem' tax

Especially this last, here.

You want to laugh? Do you want to ABSOLUTELY ROLL ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING AND DESPERATELY TRYING NOT TO DIE FOR LACK OF AIR?

In Italy, we're still paying, on the petrol, taxes for the military expenses of the colonial wars in Africa of the first 30ies and the Desert Storm in the first 90ies, and at the sole mentioning of the possibility of lifting those obsolete taxes off the people's pockets NOW, over thirty years after the more recent and almost a century from the other, our own bloodsuckers called politicians get all shifty eyed, ambiguous spoken and selectively deaf until the request is dropped out of SHEER EXHAUSTION.

Laugh at will. We thoroughly deserve it.

Spelling police here.. F is close to T on the keyboard so maybe its a typo. Shifty does not have an f in it.

Of the OTHER shi-f-t, we have right under out nose, so we can feel its generous fragrances and cannot open out mouths to protest without swallowing generous amount of it. If you want to know about shi-f-t, ask an Italian, we know more about it than a lot of other people.

To the mods and everyone else here.

This post was originally a long, friendly and informative post about the history of my car, a well-written post, as are all of mine, and written so as to share this with the community here.

My apologies for my reply. I deleted my original reply.
I can't speak for the other nonconformists but you won't suffer from my inane comments in your threads again.
I came to this site because some thread wandering is allowed and sometimes I think its Human nature that makes a conversation drift. If Simv were to become a spit and polish aviation discussion with no other options I would have never signed in. I'm still not quite sure where you wanted a discussion about your used car to go.

Thank you, Steve.
