Oh well, looks like this year's events are pretty lame, so most likely go there to look see.. JDM Accord 2.4, anyone?
Last year's also about the same contests... lame also...
I will just go there take some pictures while chilling out with their free ice-cream...

Hello to you too Kangz... The object here is about discipline of having a car... I suggest you back read first right from the start before you comment.......

Though i agree that yes there are the black sheeps(showoffs,reckless driving etc), Honestly I feel that the freedom that parents give them do not cause those behavior, instead those are characteristic were cultivated by themselves. Why "face"/"reckless driving" come about? MASS MEDIA... you seriously think that parents would tell their kids "hey son, i buy you this car must go out and showoff okay?!" or "Hey i buy you this car better harness the power, must speed". Its all from everyday life. TV, Movies etc. Making it so glamourous. Definitely not freedom that parents give. Just because the parents gave them freedom doesnt necessarily translate to the child being a showoff.
Secondly, to your "1 important thing". Its because they are my good buddies and I know their parents. Enough said.
You are the one who made endless assumptions on a blind rage. So may i just suggest you dig just a little deeper. stop skimming the surface.
Liar!!! hahaha -
First you need to psycho your dad to rob the bank.Damn!! kids these days dont have to work and treat their parents like Genies in bottles.

Oh yes, got free ice cream.. Must cut the coupon from the classified section right? Lol.. Since it's the holidays, go down look see also shiok, but if I'm not wrong, usually the SPH carnival is dominated by the PIs, as usual the big names like Richburg, Cartimes, will be the anchor tenants..

Yeah...
But must look for the correct PI if you intend to get a car from them..
Heard of many "unreliable" ones.
Should go for those with the "TRUST SEAL" by CASE.

1 Thing about the gold seal you see in OPC cars:
It's used by LTA to seal the red license plate. (to prevent people from changing their number plates to normal ones). You need to notify LTA if you wish to do any repairs which require the removal of the number plate.

Haha no I don't! I'm also more or less in the same situation as lianamaster, studying/no income/ and still looong way more to get a car. I think the JDM Accord is a damn cool car, but at 100k, its still very very far over the horizons from my reach..

Good choice! Ever sat in one of the Carens taxi (I think greenish colour one), it was comfortable and the build quality is solid.

Don't worry too much..
You'll get your day.. I have always liked S2000 Type S but my pocket does not permit..
Sigh...
By the time I can afford, the car already long gone..
That's why I am now aiming the Audi TTS Cabriolet.. or TT-RS, which is more practical..
Hopefully can get the car within the next 3 years..

True, Honda seem to be phasing out their performance cars.. First was the NSX, then went Integra, then now goes S2K.. In fact, I don't think this generation has an equivalent Accord Euro R model? Which only leaves the CTR...

Ya.. Everything was great..
Except the FC and the hard touch plastics they used for the dashboard.. Makes it look cheap..
And Cycle and Carriage didn't bring it the full specs..
The full specs Carens comes with:
- Auto Headlights
- Rain Sensing Wipers
- Roof Rails
- Sunroof
- 17" alloy rims
- Climatic Aircon
- Leather Seats
- Chrome Front Grille
- Chrome Door Handles
- Steering Mounted Controls
- 6 Airbags
My Carens came with: None of the above.

Ya.. The only performance car left is Civic Type R. I am not sure whether they phased out Accord Type R..
But apparently you can't buy it new in Singapore anymore..

Yup....Last year got a lot of authorised car dealers from Honda, Toyota, Nissan to Proton and Zyote. PIs and second-hand car dealers inclusive as well...

Treat your mother a nice dinner? Help her clean the house? Also, give her a big hug, holding hands,or massaging sore muscles and joints ...... all these loving physical touch might work.
