Joey Fatone and AJ McLean just announced a 2024 tour. For many people, those names may mean nothing. But for those who know (yes Millennials, I’m talking to you), this is BIG NEWS.
Perhaps a little more context: Joey Fatone was (is?) one member of *NSYNC, while AJ McLean was (is?) from the Backstreet Boys. Ahh, should sound a lot more familiar now.
Quit playing games
Before there was BTS and Seventeen (no clue myself, but my colleagues assure me they exist and are really popular),
As you may (or may not) have noticed, the Editorial Team here at Sgcarmart has started a new series, titled Sgcarmart Explores, where we look and recommend some of the more interesting spots across the various districts of Singapore.
And save for the Christmas special of the series we did last December (please do catch it here, the whole team spent an entire day out driving and shooting to craft this one), we have always started each iteration of the series questioning the assumption that S
Writing about a gaming device... you would be thinking that I must be quite the gamer. However, the reality is quite the contrary. Being a car guy through and through, even the games that I play are predominantly driving or racing ones. That said, there are other games that I've enjoyed from young - from the Pokemon titles on Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance to the RPG games on Playstation 2 (PS2) and rhythm games such as DJ Max on the Playstation Portable (PSP), these were the games that kept
Ugh. Nex. What an absolutely terrible place to drive to.
Manoeuvrability: Tight or not?
Narrow up and down ramps, lots are not very big. Poor. In-bound and out-bound traffic also mixes, so during peak hours its slowwwww moving. And because its narrow, once a person needs to enter/exit the lot, all traffic comes to a halt. And, let’s also not forget about the sharp u-turn on the second last floor before exiting.

Ease of navigation: Confusing or not?

The start's always the toughest, they say.
This was something I felt very keenly while trying to formulate the first few words of this post. Maybe it has got to do with that tingly sense of generating my very first blog entry…for work.
But anyway, writer's block aside, hello there, I'm Denise from the Sgcarmart Editorial Team.
It seems I'll be rounding up the relay of introductory posts from my teammates to kick-start 2024 proper!
Who is she?
So who am I? I'm the newe
Like many other jaded millennials with hyperactive minds, I arrived at the conclusion about three years ago that suddenly setting out new (or old...?) goals to tackle every 31st of December wasn't really for me.
I've found I tend to lose interest in most things quickly anyway - and the thought of adding yet another guaranteed failure to an already-long personal list would likely just widen the possibility for more mental self-flagellation. No thanks.
Besides, if one has already decide
Ever wondered why your car's engine performance seems to decrease over the years? It's not just due to wear and tear.
If you ask any driver if they can feel a difference in their car's performance compared to when they first bought it, chances are they could. Everyone knows that a car will deteriorate over the years, and I'm not only referring to the paintwork, the worn upholstery and interior panels, but its performance as well.
As time goes by and you rack up the mileage on your car
We review plenty of cars. But actually, most cars spend more of their time stationary - i.e. in a parking lot. So, we thought it might also be useful (and kinda fun) to also take some time to review carparks.
In fact, carparks are a function of urban design and architecture - separate but not independent of us as car users. The reality, also, is that carparks are not built equally (even building standards and statutes change over time).
First one, then. Ocean Financial Centre, righ
Prior to last month, I couldn't even recall the last time I used a film camera. It might have been two decades ago, because sometime in the mid-2000s, digital cameras began to proliferate and before we knew it, film was out, and the 'Megapixel War' had commenced.
I still remember how almost everyone I knew suddenly started talking about which camera had how many megapixels and how it that would deliver the best resolution and therefore, the 'best' photos.

Hi everyone! 👋 Desmond here on behalf of the Sgcarmart Editorial Team.
So, 2024 brings some changes to Mycarforum. As you'll increasingly notice in the coming months, the Editorial Team has taken over the content management of this platform.
There are changes in store. The Forum, not so much. It will continue to be a vibrant platform for all MCF members to interact.
However, major changes are afoot for this Blog. We are going in a different direction, revealing the slightly most e
As the camcar so aptly put it, “this one not happy le”
What happened?
Just yesterday on Ang Mo Kio Ave 9, a poor Kia Seltos got the tongue lashing of their year after turning in just a bit too soon and tight on a Toyota Axio.
Looking at the video, you might be thinking “eh he turn right but not in the correct lane, then his fault lah”. WRONG.
As we can see from the above photo, the Kia is perfectly within their rights to make a right turn despite not being in the ri
Taxis can’t seem to catch a break lately. Touting, overcharging, and now possible injury of their own customers.
What happened?
A family had taken a ComfortDelGro Taxi and to somerset dropped off at the usual 313 spot. It’s a routine drop off as the passengers exit, but things go awry when one lady closes the boot.
For some reason, the taxi driver started moving despite one of the doors still being open, right as the dad (or uncle, granddad) goes to pick up a small child from
Imagine minding your own business on the road when suddenly some goondu driver knocks into you TWICE.
What happened?
A PHV (private hire vehicle) Honda Vezel was heading back to Singapore on the Causeway when they were knocked into by a Malaysian car.
GG lah, knock one time and then they step on the gas pedal for another round. Driver went for the double tap.
To make matters worse, the driver at fault apparently made the claim towards police that the camcar had s
When the video has no audio, you know who is to blame already.
What happened?
A camcar tried to cut into the left lane on Loyang Way (yellow box btw). Unfortunately for him, the lorry behind him was having none of it.
Since the video has no audio we do not know what made the camcar back out, though a big honk is always a good deterrent.
After securing his position in the lane, the lorry driver followed up by flipping off the camcar and a few more angry gestures.
There seems to be a common occurrence between such drivers… Can’t quite put my finger on it…
What happened?
A BMW 2 Series (220i Coupe SR HID M Sport if you care) ran a red light at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8.
This is in itself, nothing special. More evidence to Singaporeans being bad drivers perhaps.
But this time, there’s also the driver’s wife and child in the passenger seat. Small enough to warrant needing a child seat, if the Facebook post is to be believed.

There’s a time and place to go fast guys, and the carpark is not one of them.
What happened?
An overzealous Volkswagen Beetle was going fast enough in a multi-storey carpark (MSCP) at Bukit Merah Central to break through the metal and concrete barriers.
Someone managed to record footage of the incident from their car, likely through dashcam.
Can’t imagine how loud that would have been on the outside. Hope there wasn’t anyone under the car with those bricks sent fly
Imagine seeing a whole VAN lane split better than motorcycles. Get this driver into teaching ASAP.
What happened?
A Malaysian-registered Hyundai Starex on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) was presented ‘the bird’ by 2 motorcyclists passing by, and proceeded to take off and chase after the offenders.
The original FB post implies that the bikes were also Malaysian-registered, due to the quote “chase down fellow countrymen on bikes”, but the plate numbers are too small to make
You might disagree with her, but you’ll be hard pressed to find much evidence against her case.
What happened?
Content creator and entrepreneur Wendi Chan, better known as @pinkkittywendi has been stirring the pot by making the bold but likely true statement that Singaporeans are the worst drivers and/or the most inconsiderate drivers in the world.
If you are angered at the above statement, I present to you all our existing articles. And SGRV.
She uses the example of
If PMD can travel at 80km/h, why is my grab order so slow to travel?
What happened?
The footage shows the PMDs going much faster than the camcar while Chinese music blares in the background.
While the MCE is fairly empty at the time of recording, it does not change the fact that using a PMD on the expressway is illegal and unsafe in the event of an accident. If caught, first-time offenders face a fine of up to S$2,000 or up to three months in jail, or both. Repeat offe
If there was ever a sign from a higher power to stop doing something, this is definitely one.
What happened?
An auntie was happily walking along underneath trees on the road divider when a taxi came out of nowhere and t-boned another car, narrowly missing the auntie.
The auntie was no doubt left shocked from what just unfolded before her and fell on the ground in shock.
The incident happened at the junction of Mandalay Road and Moulmein Road.
Police reported t
Lots of missing context in this one. Nonetheless an interesting watch.
What happened?
On 11 September 2023, at Yishun (again??) Avenue 6, an altercation broke out between a food delivery rider and a BMW driver.
According to the Facebook post, the BMW driver was “closely following” the rider before the incident, saying that “the traffic light signalled”.
How specific! Because the traffic light definitely doesn’t have multiple signals, each with VERY different meaning
The brakes on the car must be good, rider was wearing no protection and still escaped unscathed.
What happened?
On 11 September 2023, at Yishun Industrial Street 1 (because OF COURSE it was at Yishun), a food delivery rider on a PAB (Power Assisted Bicycle) ignored a stop line at a junction and was subsequently hit by a car.
The car was going at around 30km/h and unable to avoid the rider, who was already onto the road and stopped moving like a deer in headlights.

Mazda driver must have thought a giant took a s*** on his car.
What happened?
A Mazda driver was travelling along Marymount Lane when they no doubt s*** themselves after it looked like someone s*** on their car.
As we can see in the video, a construction zone beside the road had some equipment malfunction, with a cable/tube snapping and unleashing a torrent of mud.
The unlucky Mazda was able to get ahead by just a bit before the massive brown load splattered all over
This is probably the most civil confrontation I’ve ever seen, while keeping a mildly aggressive edge.
What happened?
A confrontation took place at Defu Lane when an uncle did not park properly. The video immediately opens with the person behind the camera asking “How many lots did you park in?” in Chinese.
Credit to the uncle, he asked the person recording to follow him to his parking spot, saying “I don’t want to argue”. The aggrieved recorder however was still upset, as he
Opting for an EV for commercial use is not only environmentally friendly, but cost effective as well - start your journey with Hong Seh Evolution.
It wasn't too long ago when Electric Vehicles (EV) were still fresh on the market - back then range wasn't confidence inspiring, charging facilities aren't as accessible and these cars really don't make much sense.
These days, EV chargers can be found all over Singapore, in petrol kiosks, HDB carparks, shopping malls and offices. Most EVs wi
