Be warned, this article is meant for the guy-readers... Girl-readers might wanna view it as reference in case they wish to give their boyfriend / hubby 's car a nice treat...
If you have wondered how busty young girls attempting to clean a car windscreen with only their oppai and bon-bon look like from the inside of the car, you need to search no further...
10min 40secs of nose-bleeding scenes... NSFW (Not Safe For Work!)... Watch the video before it gets taken off YouTube...



Q: Then again, if your girlfriend weighs like 200+ pounds, you'd better think twice before she caves in your windscreen... its like fiber-glass after all...

Demanding Shanghai Lady

Demanding Shanghai Lady
A girl in Shanghai falls in love with a new Buick Regal and argues with her boyfriend about buying it for her. He refuses, so she gets into the car in the showroom, starts it, and begins driving it around, with the boyfriend and salesman trying to stop her. She only stops when the boyfriend finally agrees to buy the car.


Q: If I were in the man's shoes, I'll dump her on the spot.

Drivers will know that it is impossible to parallel park while head-in... the concept is no longer correct...

F1 Dangers
My mum was watching the live telecast of the F1 preliminaries last evening when she asked me if those "fences" are good enough.... I showed her the below videos...

When you watch them, think of the safety of those "behind" the fences and beyond, and decide for yourself how safe spectators are on-site:

Original post from Sankaku Complex:

Tokyo, Japan

A young lady (19), just learning to drive, drove through Matsue City at breakneck speeds, soon crashing her ride into a streetlight at high speed in truly spectacular fashion, tearing the SUV in half and killing the three back seat passengers who unwisely let her take them for a spin, we hear. She was only lightly injured, as was the fortunate young man who sat beside her.

The three passengers killed were acquaintances of the driver, as was the surviving passenger, and the three soon died after being taken to hospital (looking at the state of the rear half it seems they had no chance at all).

The car in question was apparently a 2002 Mitsubishi AirTrek, a sturdy enough vehicle, so it is all the more impressive how badly it was totalled by her death defying/inducing driving.
Despite being a learner driver, with only a provisional licence, she was not displaying learner plates, and on top of this driving four other people around at high speed through central Tokyo is also not behaviour generally considered appropriate to learners; police are already looking at charges of involuntary vehicular manslaughter. She will doubtless have many difficult questions to answer when she is released from hospital.

Let us pray the girl has never so much as laid eyes on a copy of GTA in her life…

Q: Haiz... yet another case of motor mishap due to negligence - from families, victims, and protagonist. In such accidents, I wun just subject the blame onto one person (the driver). Many parties ought to be blamed in fact - the family who allow the easy access of the car to the driver; the driver who has not sense of responsibility; and the victims who let the driver take them for a ride and who did not buckled up.

Recent case in Singapore was that of a 15 yr old boy who drove out his family car - a blue Toyota Vios (if I recalled correctly) - and crashed into a tree along Bedok Road, instantly killed (damn, I hope the tree was alright...).

Let me say this: "Driving a car is easy. Its even easier driving an auto-transmission car. Its the driving on the road that is difficult".

It reminded me of a recent incident involving my sister. She stole my brother's car keys to his Hyundai Avante (while he's away overseas) and went out practising with another friend. If I hadn't noticed the car in another parking lot, I wouldn't have found out. It was only upon questioning did my sister admit to it. Although my sister passed her driving test recently (with 18 upon 21 points to failing under her belt), she hasn't received the green light from my family yet (she still needs to drive under supervision due to lack of experience). I promptly demanded her friend's contact number and gave him a piece of my mind over the phone (I can be scarely when I am angry...).

My last message to car-owners out there: "Please safe-keep your car keys, dun let it fall into the hands of inexperienced drivers..." (trees and street lamp could get damaged...)

And sending off my 4 year old Toyota Rav 4...

Photography from my Car

One of the best thing I like about driving (apart from picking up chicks...), is going to the drive-thru...

13 July 2008, Sunday, 12:30pm... at East Coast Burger King's Drive Thru... (I'm kind of a fast food junkie...)
There's a 15 minutes grace period into the carpark... this is BK's dedicated lane~ Queuing for my turn to place my orders...
My usual pick: (1) Mushroom Swiss Double, or (2) Turkey Bacon~ NOTHING else!
then its to drive further inwards to the restaurant...
and collect from that window~
chap's busy preparing for my coffee...

next, its parking at one of the carpark at Fort Rd, underneath a shady tree, relaxing and watching people cycling and skating pass...

Opening up the BK bag... Ooooh~~ the aroma of my coffee, fries, and the burger...

Eating in the car? I never said "No" before, just be careful ~ (^___^)
Mushroom Swiss Double meal~
First Bite! Heavenly~!!!
and finally to top it off with my first cup of coffee of the day!
I counted; took me exactly 10 appreciative bites to finish my Mushroom Swiss Burger~
After Brunch, its off into town for work~ a sunday well started~ How'd you spent your sunday today?

Driving: The responsibilities of a driver

[WARNING: This video features a CCTV camera recordings of an accident involving a truck and a motorcycle. Contains disturbing and gruesome scenes.]

This is one of the reason why instructors at driving schools tell students to stay alert and check your mirrors at all times...

Q: The footage looks "China" to me (being vehicles are left-hand drives, and slower moving vehicles keep right). I remember the time when I was in Guangzhou, the roads are so "Bor-Zen-Hu" (no govt) that I wun dare drive even if you give me a Ferrari. As can be seen from the beginning of the footage, a silver car has continued a forward path despite being on a left-turn only lane...

I interpreted the footage as that the motorcyclist has overtaken the truck from the 'blind'-side without gaining ample distance ahead of the truck and travelling at a speed slower than the truck. I've driven class-4 dumptrucks before, and judging from the position of the motorcyclist, the truck driver can barely see the motorcycle because of the height of the cabin. Its just tragic that the motorcyclist has chosen the wrong vehicle to overtake... still, its just only my side of interpretation; how do you see this footage as?

Lessons to refresh:
1) Never change lanes while crossing a junction;
2) Plan your route and form up in the correct lane early;
3) Adhere to designated lane-directions;
4) Do not overtake abruptly;
5) Do not overtake vehicles travelling faster than your vehicle;
6) Overtake only from the right (being left in left-hand-drive roads like the one above);
7) Stay alert at all times;
8) Stay within speed limits;
9) Pray that you dun encounter any bobo-drivers...

Singapore Car Ownership

Singapore Car Ownership

Details accurate as of 29 February 2008

For those of you thinking getting your own ride but a little clueless at the cost of maintaining one, I hope this post helps a little. The information might go outdated very fast, but the saying shall remain: “Buying a car is easy, it’s the maintaining that kills you”.

Cost to own a car = (A) + (B) + (C)

(A) Sunk Cost:
Season parking (open-air) .............. S$65 /month
ERP / Cashcard* ............................ S$50 /month
Petrol (unleaded 95)* .................... S$250 /month
Servicing** ................................... S$90 - $300 /10,000 km

*indicates fluctuations based on usage rate
**indicates dependent on servicing program and the extend of wear ’n tear


(B) Monthly Car Installments*
[(Value of Car - initial downpayment)/120 months] + Bank Interest** + many other crap

*Based on a 10 year loan;
**Depending on which Bank.

E.g. A S$53,688 Mazda 3 (1.6 auto) is asking for S$517 /mth on http://www.sgcarmart.com/


(C) Based on a 1,600cc car…
Insurance (1st time) ......... S$1,700 /year
Road Tax ........................ S$874 /year


Formula to calculate your 6-monthly Road Tax
(For engine capacity 1,000cc – 1,600cc only):

[$250 + 0.375 (Engine Capacity – 1,000)] x 0.92

E.g. A 1,500cc Toyota Vios will pay S$402.50 road tax every 6-months; so its 2 x S$402.50 = S$805 yearly.

Tip: From July 2008 onwards, road tax will drop by 15%, hence the new formula for calculating your 6-months road tax for the 1,000cc – 1,600cc category:

[$250 + 0.375 (Engine Capacity – 1,000)] x 0.782


WHAT'S GOOD?
Below are some of my personal preference (in order of preference) which I think suits young working adults; doesn't go too hard on the pocket, fuel-economy, and gives a sporty image.
