very good point. weight is also a very important factor because it indicated the amount of material used to manufacture the vehicle and the amount of wear and tare on the environment in which it operates... all of which created waste and…
Very possible that I have been unnecessary rude. I was not prepared to be attacked and to have the story questioned. Only on the first page it was probably 5 people claiming it was fictitious.
The idea of creating a minor scandal is…
Median salary has nothing to do with average salary. Average could be way higher, but a bunch of people earning 10 million has hardly any effect on the median.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any DIY car wash around my area, so I went to Wiedikon and found one. I washed my bike there and then applied some acf-50 at home, although I am afraid that on…

Snow Tyres in Switzerland
In my particular case it concerns a Citroen C3, the base model with 68 hp (so no handling and no speed :D). I check tire thread every winter to see if I need new tires, I do not run them down to less than 3 - 4 mm. I do not go high speed…

Inheritance in Switzerland
1. The heirs can split the stuff how ever they like if all are happy how it distributed. One can get all, or 50:50 regardless what the last will and testament specifies.
