I recommend the Dom Perignon '98. Superb vintage. Although, the 2013 is also excellent.

This just seems like passing the buck.
I think its time for a crackdown on dissenters and those who think about causing trouble.Norman wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 9:27 pmI can't believe that a small forum about development that I love and care about has turned into such a volcano of attacks across so many threads. People attacking each other left, right and centre. No one being able to hold a constructive argument, but turning it into pissing contests with little to no constructive value. I'm sick of it, and so are many of the other moderators. Just stop.
Are there really a significant number of households in South Australia who park on the street (not their own driveway) because their new-build house has a garage that is too narrow for their car? Or even people who bought a house, then discovered their car was too wide for the garage they bought?Waewick wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 1:53 pmhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-20/ ... tent=other

Sure there are people who choose to use the street as permanent parking (rather than visitors, trades and deliveries), but I don't really believe that moving 3 square metres from the loungeroom/front bedroom to the garage is going to change that.
My issue is more that car parking wouldn't be such an issue ifSBD wrote:Are there really a significant number of households in South Australia who park on the street (not their own driveway) because their new-build house has a garage that is too narrow for their car?

They appear to mostly be small hatches.
So I think your reasoning that large expensive cars are mostly ending up on the street is inaccurate.
I don't own a massive(expensive) car but if I did I wouldn't be leaving it on the road.
We live in a free market economy created with various rules and incentives usually created by the Govt.rev wrote:We live in a country with free choice and a free market.
If a car manufacturer thinks they can sell larger cars and there's a market for them, they will.
If people want to buy those larger cars, or whatever sized cars with whatever engine type, they will.
Let's not forget that this arms race of ridiculous size cars only came about due to loop holes in emission standards in the US, and exacerbated by tax incentives here.
The influence of American culture in Australia over the past few decades has been massively destructive to our country.
