Their owners are now a little Singapoorer.
The cost of cars in this country, you can be sure those guys don’t get poor.
The cost to drive on the road is probably about the same as the cost to buy one.
About 10 years ago a Chevy Malibu had a sticker price of $120k USD, which included registration for 10 years.
It’s about $120k USD just for the registration now, depending on the car.
Why?
In case you’re serious; in most places in the world, cars are a luxury and taxed as such. In island nation in particular, imports are also very expensive in general and import taxes are most of their revenues.
TLDR: tax the rich, poor don’t need cars in sane cities.
Nah, thats mainly just singapore and vietnam.
A lot of island nations have extreme import taxes on cars. See: every Caribbean island.
developing countries always have the highest taxes. i’m not aware of a single developing country that has cheap cars…
Because it’s a small island country and there’s no need for cars. Public transit there is intense. Automated light rail between communities connect to subways that connect to everything. Their buses are great too.
In Hong Kong, the parking spot for a car may cost more than the car itself.
Nice
The insurance company: “You crashed a what, into a what?!”
I got close to an accident once, I was driving a rental and the other cat was also a rental, same model, same company, not the same color though.
I imagine it would have been an interesting phone call to the rental company!

Does the Community !nevertellmetheodds exist yet?
Pretty high odds if it’s Singapore
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nevertellmetheodds@lemmy.world
Doesn’t exist yet
Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean you can drive it.

You sure those aren’t just generic brand racing cars?
Isn’t this how baby lambergines are made?

Nah, the cars are still pretty cool from the engineering side. Not disagreeing with the rest though

bro can’t even:
- spell LeMans
- has no clue how carbon and triple plated clutch works,
- and appreciate the fact that super cars have terrible turning radius…
probably doesn’t know shit about cars making a stupid dumb statement like that. there are so many modern analog cars that have not only more soul, but outperform any older cars by every single metric in terms of reliability, engineering, safety, comfort etc. Case in point : LFA, Pagani Zonda, 911 GT3 RS, Nissan GTR and MANY MANY more.
Is there something like Cars for Dummies? All of this sounds really cool but I’ve no idea what any of it means.

That sounds pretty amazing. Is it an expensive thing to get into?

I’m going to at least go to a track nearby and watch people do this and maybe talk to them and see if anything clicks for me.

Does that make it less than mildly interesting?
After seeing countless times yes, yes it does become not interesting
