Ahbengdriver 6th Gear October 30, 2017 Share October 30, 2017 (edited) As many said before, if you are one of those that belong to the 70% group, then you shouldnt be grumbling about the rediculous price of car n related expenses....because you vote for it. Oh, just to share, friend of mine in USA(Singaporean who moved there 15 years ago), just got a Porky(turbo-S convertible) fully loaded n sec-ed. Paid in cash. 1/4 the price of what you would pay here. Singaporeans are actually earning a lot. But the garmen sucked mostly sucked it all up. Yeah yeah, we will be told u have a choice, can take MRT(oh faark) but its definitely no where near the Swiss Standard.

Solar Turbocharged October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 Nobody has considered the costs if one were to have done that same traveling but on public transport.. Train, bus, taxi etc. Then put the numbers against your car costs. The numbers would not be that astronomical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey if you can say the above you can also imagine everyone here drives a Porsche...oh wait, but Sgp is so tiny everyone would be stuck on the road and hardly moving an inch when the Porsche can go from 0-100km/hr in less dan 5 sec. End up it takes 5 days to reach your destination. How ironic. Of course the typical sinkie will kaopeh and say the gahment did nothing to help them. Life. You can't have it all and eat the cake.

AltisOwner Turbocharged October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 Yes keep thinking that way. Next time when you are old just pick cardboards for a living. Brother, thank you for your concerns You may please read what I've mentioned "until one day I can't afford" that means I own and drive a car which I think I can afford in my capacity. Anyway, what's wrong in picking cardboards? One Ministar said it is good for exercise when getting old just joking 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
