China's automakers are outpacing foreign rivals in their push for assisted-driving technology. Yet, Beijing has a nuanced message for its rising stars: move fast — but be careful. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/05/tech/china-self-driving-push/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #china #cars #selfdriving #electricvehicles
Saw one of my favourite little cars, the Mighty Boy! 💪 I've seen this one before at Toyota car club events. (They are very welcoming to other makes.)
Harry was parked outside, people perving at him of course.
Found a VW Eos. Nice little things, pity they stopped making them.

Since some folx asked for pics, here are a couple just for posterity. I got some during a visit to the lot to retrieve the rest of the belongings from inside. The ones from the incident have too many faces.
I'll reiterate that everyone came out of it okay as far as I'm aware.
I think this was invite only for who were parked up inside. Cars that had some serious money thrown at it.
Shannons do car auctions here so they have a big space for it. These are some of the variety of cars they insure. They will insure all sorts of weirdos, even Haflingers.
Took Harry to visit Shannons Insurance on Sunday. They were having a very poorly advertised event which turned out to be small and not many vehicles there. Ah well, Harry was popular as always. And he finally got to meet his son.
This nice Dodge was parked out front.

I took my 1950 MG TD out to a Michigan MG T-Series club meeting last night. I have a few small repairs and some maintenance to do before I can drive it much, but it’s good to have it back on the road. Such a pretty car.

Reflections of cars of yore. A late 1940s MG TC spotted in the hubcap of my 1950 MG TD.

Hypothetically, if someone got T-boned and the air bags went off, smoke in the car, etc. car needed to get towed. Would it likely be totaled?
I'm (hypothetically) trying to determine if I need to be looking for a replacement car or trying to rent a car while the insurance process runs it's course. It's unclear if insurance would cover a rental loaner based on the policy document.
Edit: Thank you everyone! I appreciate all of your helpful responses and accounts of experiences with numbers and timelines. It's very helpful to have a better idea of what to expect.
Also everyone involved in this hypothetical is okay!
One conclusion is that this vehicle is extremely likely to be totaled so I should be directing my energy towards finding a replacement (hypothetically)
I know young lads who drive #HotHatches often get a bad reputation (and middle aged men more so!) and #CarCulture has a lot of problems - but to their credit, #Facebook groups for #VW #GolfGTI enthusiasts (especially #UK ones) are one of the few places you don't get a fuckton of casual #racism and #Reform supporters everywhere (they are even more wholesome than forums) - although I am slightly cynical and do wonder if its because there are so many #BritishAsian / #Desi + #CentralEuropean lads on there no one wants to piss them off, they are a source of good advice and used #cars and #parts
The worst you see is well meaning USA folk replying with valid advice but in strange units (like quarts of oil, ft/lbs for torque when everything on a #Euro car is in #metric since 1970s!)

Toyota powered. The owner said it was brand new and didn't know much about it. So Bolwell came up with this design almost 20 years ago and are still hand making cars. Mind boggling, considering how difficult it is to meet ADRs here too.
And then this appeared. This is a new Bolwell! The co started back up in the mid noughties.

I've never seen one other than reading about it. My eyes just about popped out of my head.
