In this blog entry, I would like to discuss the popular use of body-coloured plastic for the external car body parts, especially the bumpers. I recalled that back in 1989, my dad bought a metallic blue Toyota Corolla. Folks in my generation would recall that it comes with a matt black front and rear bumpers, at a time when more and more cars come equipped with body-coloured ones. As a little boy, I would tell him,

"The driver need not be worried about ugly scratch marks should he carelessly mount the kerb when negotiating a bend in a carpark."

 

A better solution would just simply be... a better driver.

My FD Civic, designed in 2005, already has a rubber strip that runs the length of the front bumper....

 

Kerbs, high or low, doesn't really matter - it's the angle where the road meets the kerb.

:angry: For too long, kerbs had brought pain and suffering to car owners. :angry:

 

[pirate] But not anymore! Now's the time to force kerbs to kneel before car owners! [pirate]

  • Can you really imagine a future with humanoid robots?

    I recently went on a media trip with XPENG, a brand that makes some pretty nice EVs, but they were also put in the spotlight recently when the video of their robot, IRON, went viral. The humanoid robot walked on stage in such a convincing manner that prompted everyone to wonder if it was actually a human in a suit. Now, I managed to get a closer look at the robot, and although it was a static display, it looked intricate and pretty interesting. We then attended a workshop where t

    Listening to music while working: Does it actually help?

    It’s likely a common sight in every office you set foot in: Workers with their heads buried in their desktops/laptops, earbuds dutifully plugged in (or headphones chucked on). Having a tune to go into battle alongside you against anything that happens at work seems to be as essential as having a caffeinated drink perched on the table, it seems. Thus also arises the question, however: Does a symphony of melodies really serve as the secret ingredient to unlocking peak productivity? The debate

    I never knew Monster Trucks were so popular here

    Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself. You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines. And yet, on the day of the even
