Those three are cars that attract the boy racer crowd. Even bloody Mustangs are probably driven harder than Beemers.

PS,for the Kia Rio u can Interchange the 1.4 and 1.6 engines without hassles hence the comparison

Mizwisdom: I can't believe floods like these happen in America, what is the main cause? Global warming. Houston wasn't designed for water like this because there never was water like this. Same thing that happened in Lekki last year. Funny story, was in Lekki flood, neighbors flooded we didn't, few weeks later was in Houston flood, neighbors flooded we didn't.  God is good |

Dremca: I believe this car will soon be auctioned as a result of flood and may make its way to Nigeria after the insurance company must have indemnify the owner. This brings me to asking if using insurance is mandatory in the US and its there a law created to enforce that because I've read that insurance is a BIG BUSINESS in the USquote author=radautoworks post=70663177]
Oh, Houston always bounces back. This is the third flood we've been through while I've been here. All good.
Outside my place last time when the water started receding. Whole place flooded except our house and the people next to us  Of course all those cars are in Nigeria! If you mean Auto insurance, it is mandatory in Texas. Two offences of driving without insurance and in addition to steep fines each time, you lose your license. There is no separate flood insurance for cars. Just liability (the state minimum to cover the other party if you are at fault) or comprehensive insurance (covers any and everything pretty much including flood). This is also one of those things that is affected by your credit rating. |

Backfornow: Ive got more questions. The money that was raised for Houston victims, did it get to the people who needed it? Since youve been through so many floods are you required to have flood insurance and does that factor in the affordability of owning a home there? I know my best friend got some so some of it at least did. I applied for some because the water caused some water damage in the walls through the chimney but didn't get it since I was in Nigeria when it was time for inspection. You are not required to have flood insurance but would be stupid not to. No, I don't see how that affects home affordability except maybe areas that don't flood may be in more demand but I don't see that pattern. People are simply raising their houses 5-10ft with insurance money. |

DukeNija: The decision to scan the car is because of past experiences where a mechanic was unable to detect some faults.

Backfornow: But it was still a competition that you won funding for? Yup. I still have the proposal. It was called "The RoboSTEM box". It was aimed at minority/low income children to teach coding through Lego minds storm robot sets. The best of each group would go on to compete with their robots worldwide. Each competition had specific functions the robots should do autonomously and varing levels for different ages. It was cheap to implement which was one of the biggest draws. They probably changed the came if they went through with it. |
