Key words, "less crime". Different time. Cost of living was less. Even at that oil price, they still ended up thiefing big time.

This one is no different.

[ADONI]

What is strictly? With all them rust buckets on the roads! Jah!

[bluefete]

Really? Wait until you see the cost of living skyrocket due to those gas price increases then come again and tell us.

Unless, of course, you are a millionaire like Imbert and those increases do not affect you.

[bluefete]

That budget had no plan about growth for T&T.

It is one set of taxations.

At least it was over 2 years. We had to grease up for premium's 44% increase in one swipe

[Joshie23]

New cars vendor are already termed stealerships mostly for good reason. Why do we need to pay more and more for new cars at least 100% more than a comparable vehicle in the US?

Because we live on an island just under 5,000km2 in size but have something like 600,000 cars with 35,000 more being added annually.

Owing a car is not a right.

With all due respect, your point is moot, when you're talking about an island where public transport is EXCEPTIONALLY unreliable. The reason the 'PH' market flourishes is because taxi drivers operate their vehicles like a day job (and I'm not vex with them, btw) but from 6:00 pm, it's impossible to get an 'H' car in certain areas, worse yet if rain fell that day. The PTSC buses are also 'sometimeish'. So yes, owning a vehicle is not a right, but if one can afford it, by all means, because I'd rather not have my wife or daughter call me, at home in South, at 7:00 pm to tell me they're stranded in Port of Spain because the 7:00 bus is stuck in San Fernando, not to mention the lack of security women have in this country.

Steups. So much for my planned hybrid purchase

[dredman1]

25‰ additional duty from 1.6 L to 2.0L cars

Anyone heard whether this was applicable to hybrids only, or is it non-hybrids as well?
