You shoulda-moved to The Sunshine State, like I did from MI nearly 40 years-ago, as a young man, to have more opportunity economically, and to enjoy the Coral Gables college co-eds from "The U" while riding motorcycles 12 months out of the year, and-no bike insurance required!
I married one of those cute college co-eds, the kids are grown & giving us grandchildren, and I still have the Yamaha I brought-down from MI with-me after I decided to stay after about 4 months, instead of returning to MI to attend the other U-M, (in Ann Arbor) as a junior year transfer on a State of MI academic scholarship. I never regret leaving the Water-Winter Wonderland (as my MI license plate said).
Make the system work for-you, don't piss and moan about what the other-guy has that you don't. :clapping:
Medic,
No I am not pissing and moaning about what the other guy has, and I have worked hard in the same craft for 40 years, but never able to retire twice in that period of time and pull two pensions! (At taxpayer expense). I am 62, have $775,000 in cash and more in equities, a paid off 14 acre wooded estate worth $300,000, commercial property lot worth $35,000,(before the crash I turned down $75,000 for it), full healthcare, and 0 in debt, 3 kids, 5 grandchildren, and still own my own business, and married to boot. So, I am not pissing and moaning on my own account, but worry much about the critical problems that have beset this nation that I and my kids and their kids, and your kids call home.
Now, as to the 05, Michigan has the
highest auto insurance rates in the U.S., partially due to the
unlimited heath care paid by the state for all costs over $500,000 from an auto accident, you
have to pay $175 for that each year on
every titled vehicle, we have no fault also. The Gov., Snyder, a big taxing Republican, Ya, you heard that, now wants to raise the registration fee by $125 for "road repair", even though we have the 7th highest gas taxes in the nation, (wants to raise that too!).
The real pisser is that the $175 you pay is not "equal protection", if you ride a cycle you are only covered if you hit a car or a car hits you, in a car you are protected no matter what, if you are a pedestrian and hit by a car you are protected no matter what,,in a cycle if you hit an animal, another cycle, a tree, lose control and crash, etc, you are not protected!! Now that is FUC#ED and something I just became aware of 3 months ago. So I figure I won't be FUC#ED, so I will make a statement about that injustice and unload my beloved 05, and one less $175 going to Lansing that is not applied equally for all drivers protection.
