In other news, water is wet.

Oregon is all in drought too, but the climate variations are vast. The same is true of California.

I live in the NW corner of the state. Housing prices are ridiculous here too, and very few are making 150k.

Because California is a small state and the climate is the same everywhere

Think about what would happen if you were in an accident: you could be arrested, your car impounded, and with no insurance you could be personally liable for more money than you’re likely to earn in a decade. That’s a hell of a risk that you’re taking.

I know it’s hard to get up off of the floor, I’ve been there. Think about other options for getting around. Don’t f your life up for a car.

Late 60s, no tickets, Ducati, good credit, garage, low miles.

I’ll keep shopping.

Progressive has me on a “bend over and take it” plan

Nice! They sent me a quote for $350/year, which is a major savings. Thank you!

Thanks, I’ll check with them. Do you have a lot of coverage or minimal coverage at that price, if I may ask?

They unfortunately do not sell motorcycle insurance

Getting a retroactive permit is a good place to start. With the permit comes an inspection, and if the work is up to code, then you should be good. If it’s not up to code, it will need to be brought up to code.

With a basement apartment, egress is a big issue, as is ceiling height.

There is a critical housing shortage in Bellingham. Directing people to move to Bellingham without qualification is not telling the whole story.

Which country are you a citizen of? Which country are you crossing from and to?

Bellingham is full.

Came here to sing that.

TIL that the governor of Washington single handedly runs the legislative and administrative branches of state government, and personally determines retail gasoline prices. The things you learn on social media.

There you go. I had a similar accident when I hadn’t been driving very long, definitely a learning experience. Good news is that you weren’t injured.

Driving 70mph in pitch dark and couldn’t see, am I getting that part right?

Talk to an attorney.

Agreed. Tires are your friend.

If full on winter tires somehow won’t work for you, switch to an all condition tire that has the Three Mountain Peak rating, e.g. Vredestein Quatrac Pro. Not as good on deep snow and ice as a winter tire, but surprisingly good on everything else.

“Throes”, not “throws”

Cmon man. Nobody’s heating their entire house with a water bed.
