The lunatic rantings of a middle aged young guy

A long time away

I got my new car liao.... And I am very very happy wif it.Although I will be deep in debt till the later part of my life, the car is really very smooth and nice to drive. And when the devil in me comes out, I still have the power to be a devil in the roads.

I have taken out all the badges.... so it does not say Evo or whatever. I have also made effort to seem like a normal Lancer Ex. It does not matter if anyone knows if I am driving an Evo or Ex. I know and I am happy. Some people are pretty distracted when small little boys modify their cars either in performance or in looks to follow the Evo, but for me, I feel that they can jolly well do what they want. It does not matter to me at all.

Some people say that they can buy a much cheaper car and then modify and they will have an end result that is sometimes better than the real thing. In a way I do agree, if you have heap loads of cash and the mechanic is good enough, even a Hyundai Accent can take on a monster on the road. But then how much would the Hyundai have to spend? How safe will it be? And the next question is... basically not many normal ding dongs have money anyway. So our cars are bought with loans and so on. So even if we buy a cheap car, the savings we make instead of buying a monster is not in cash. It is in terms of paying less for the loans every month. But you still do not have the money to mod. It is true dat if you had the cash, you can buy and improve, but if you did not, then you still stuck up shit creek without a bloody paddle.

Now I am shit creek, but the paddle is damn shiok. I press the accelerator and by the time I am at 4000 rpm, I am already in 5th gear and doing 80km/hr. And how many normal cars can do that? How much u need to spend to mod your car to be like mine?

So that is why ladies and gentlemen, I do not mind others trying to pretend to be an Evo. When you are already driving an Evo, you know that you are driving the dreams of many 30'ish guys out there and the dream date of many young ladies... But sori hor.... I am already married and I am not gonna be too cheong when it comes to my car.... I am already paying too bloody much for it as it is.

Anyway... will post some pics once I have had the chance to take some pics. But the big problem is that I will be going off on another extended business trip by the end of the week. I will be going to Osaka to meet with some companies and at the same time, I will take time off to be with my wife and hopefully to make babies. I guess that a few years ago when I said doom on me for being married, the doom is just about to begin huh? (chuckles)... Well no choice lah...

Cheers and peace out.
