A surprise.
|
A surprise. Yesterday, while I was writing my first blog, a call came through to say that what I booked for has arrived. In fact it arrived on the evening of the day before by trailer. Well, what was the surprise? Its my Toyota Camry which I placed a booking about 3 weeks ago. Usually, it takes 5 to 6 weeks for the booking to be fulfilled, at the earliest. Mine is a different case. I tendered and got my number plate almost 3 months ago and if I don't register a car by then, I will have to surrender the number plate to JPJ and loose my RM800+. I have another week before it expires. The sales person said his manager had to call up the other sole agents and dealers to obtain the car. I will not curse or swear at the sales person if I don't get my car because it was all my fault. After I obtained the tender, a senior member of the family fell serious ill and suffered for more than 3 weeks before she went to heaven. Busy with rushing to hospital and nursing home, this tender was put aside until after the funeral and the first 7 days prayer ceremony. Currently, I am using a 2009 E200K(A) W211, my dream car and the one I can afford. Its a Sports Edition 2 model with many accessories. What I like the most are the 18 inch wheels fitted with 245 (front) and 265 (rear) Continental tyres. It will put a big hole in my pocket when they are bald.  I have another car, Honda City VTEC, which I bought for my as a reward for obtaining very good grades in major exams - PMR 7As, SPM 11As and STPM 4As and a B+. He is now pursuing an engineering degree at the National University of Singapore. He is my only . I would love to have more , but there are no regrets now because I feel so fortunate that I have one. I will sell off this car because my will not be back - 4 years degree course and bonded for 3 years (work for Singapore Government or Singapore registered company). He may get a PR and remain in Singapore for many years. Cars are my passion and my weakness, not sex.   Whenever there is a new car launched, without fail, I will be there to test drive it. In my younger days, I used to change my cars every 3 to 4 years. Not anymore, I'll use the present set of cars for a much longer period of time, for, they are depreciating commodities. Everyone should somehow or other in their life-time own a new car (whatever brand they can afford), for, our last ride in a vehicle to the cemetery or crematorium will be a used one, right?  . |

Thanks Sonia. The thrill in owning a local or foreign car is the same. Its how some people treat their cars that is different. Some take it as their prized possession and some just a bare necessity to ferry them from A to B. Foreign cars have far more advanced auto technology and safety features built into them while locals eerrr  , better not  comment or will be call a unpatriotic person.

I know not much of cars to put up a comment. I have to say though, as with your first blog post, your last statement stands out. I had a good laugh over it.
