They don't hate us, they see us as a revenue source. They're constantly inventing new ways to get more out of us. Same as 100s of years ago. But then we had Robin Hood to steal the money back and redistribute it to the poor.

[tvrslag]

17.5% VAT on servicing and every other consumable (or fancy) item you buy for your car.
