I miss UK cars.

had an electric kia, was shit, but it was a normal sized car and insurance+ tax was practically nothing compared to what it costs me in the States.

insurance alone is 4k per year, I can cover the cost of my old ass car in a bit over 3 years of insurance.

4k?! I had no idea car insurance was so high in the US. Is that normal or is it that you're deemed "high risk" for some reason?

i see no reason I would need a high risk. my ex had similar rates
