They have special lane for them. Called "cars above $1 million" this way.... JK

Those sports cars can raise their suspension at a touch of a button for such situations. The engineers of those sports cars were not stupid.

My Penang Boss just bought a brand new 325 at Penang for less than an Altis 1.6 in Sg I think, no need to compare lah, it will make yourself more -_-

depends where you go....when going JB area must be extra careful and park where you can view your car always. And also in brighly lid areas or if going restuarant some shops have CCTV so can ask the counter reception to monitor for you.

 

But malacca, genting, Port dickson, penang, KL are pretty safe as long as you park in a good decent hotel with security....

 

Also remember to put wheel lock, turn steering wheel full lock, and lock steering.

Always made me wonder how the supercars go through those lanes at customs. I think if I was the owner of one, it would be quite a nervy experience trying to manoeuvre such a wide car through those narrow lanes.

In Malaysia now. Alot of mercs here who don't wheel lock.

 

I was in Penang last year. When walking past parked local Cayenne, X5 or RX350 in the shopping centres, I would take a peep at the steering wheel. None of them put on any wheel lock or have any special parking routine like turning the wheel or front in, etc.

well.. if u drive a bimmer or audi or mercs and dont take to NSHW to whack, really not giving the car justice...

hahaha, having said that, its not wise or safe to go to certain places in such cars.

so far i only dare to go to big shopping malls with guards in JB, and always try to park beside some car thats bigger than mine =)

in KL u're better off just parking the car in the hotel and taking a cab or subway =)

If you have a Luxury car like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc.?

 

 

i drive alfa, not luxury..

 

but some say, up north, alfa very safe cos they steal already no where to off load. and the car will prob die on the road.

the electronics would make any of these cars impossible to drive off, so the steering lock won't make much of a difference. anyway, driving fancy cars presents more of a risk of getting robbed than having the car stolen.

bro, have u by any chance driven the bimmer E60s or E90s before. i've been itching to get a 159 and wonder how it fares in terms of driving pleasure as compared to the bimmers.
