once again a stupid rule.

forget-insurance/cost/4cyl/6cyl/turbo/8cyl

look at the facts. obviously some big nob in parliment somewhere has looked at a book. the book has a list of all cars. so what this nob has done is saw turbo or 8cyl next to the car,grabbed his $700 red pen,crossed out all the turbos and 8's, then gave the book to his receptionist and said "here print this". what he has not done is look at the specs. no im not talking about if it has an electric sunroof, of dvd players in headrest but the performance/saftey specs of the car. and this is what really pis*es me off.

ie>
banned list.

audi A4 (4cyl)1.8 turbo 0-100 in 8.5 sec
daihatsu charade (early model) 3cyl turbo about 10 sec
smart car turbo heap of crap 15.5 secs
(none of above are big vehicles therefore rate poorly in saftey (yes even the audi) only 3 stars :

ok list.

ba/bf falcon n/a 6cyl 0-100 7.7 (auto) 7.4 (man)
vn commy 3.8 0-100 7.9 auto
bmw 330/530(same engine) 0-100 6.6 (oh, i know why this one is ok to drive. because it has 35 airbags.stupid me :togo: )
last but not least. all N/A 6cyl porches wich can do 0-100 in 5 sec


GO FIGURE!
