Not easy since this car is build for ponding...

That day I drove in the night after golf, my side mirror drop out. Then boss ask me the car how many years, I said 5 years plus. He then say still in good condition 😭

The car manual said to use the heated mirror n the windscreen deforester for the front aircon.. usually clear up within seconds

Err... my car B&B car, no heated mirror leh... and front and rear windscreen is not a problem, it's the passenger and driver window and the side mirrors that are problematic... think i really should go and buy potato to try and see whether it's really useful in making glass hydrophobic (and then hopefully fog-resistant...)

because even if the side mirror is wiped clean, the driver and passenger side window will still have water to block the vision..

that makes wiper on side mirror redundant.. LPPL.. unless windows also got wiper lah 

saw some videos say use potatoes wipe on glass, will make it hydrophobic... maybe should try... 😆

Nice catch. This 1972 - 1973 Porsche 911E (911 series I) come with a mechanical fuel injection system (MFI), enabling the 2.4L (2,341cc to be exact) engine to churn out a healthy 165 horsepower, which considered very powerful at that point of time.

Old EG hatch

Fun fact: This EG Civic has an unique opening hatch, just like the 1st gen BMW X5!

Why the owner go and upbadge his/her car? 

Pre-facelift W211 come with E320 option, while E350 was only available for the post facelift, if my memory don't fail me.

1990 to 1991.

My father used to drive the previous generation Accord, antenna still must press a rocker switch to extend and retract. 😁

You think I 最强大脑 meh? I need to google to confirm too. Take away my phone and laptop, I will become a 车痴 (汽车白痴) instantly  

Honestly, I always get confused with the different generations / series of 911, thus did some extensive read up to find out more.

For the W211 E-class, here's the joke. My uncle bought the pre-facelift E280 back in 2004 / 2005, and he emphasized to us that the car is a 3L unit (although the badge make it look like a 2.8L). So I go and disturb him, "Why don't you get the E320 instead, which is 3.2L?" And he tell me "Road tax more expensive leh"   

EG Civic, my brother have one, and I make a fool of myself when I try to open boot for the very first time...

reminded me of the car phone antenna of the 80s

back then, if you have such antenna on your car  =  you have a car phone inside

then enterprising people started to make and sell fake car phone antennae

my father also put one on the back of his honda accord, felt very yaya like today's up-badging 🤣

Very long never see this G9 corolla already. Its odd shape of a relatively short bonnet, took a bit of getting used to, initially, but became the most popular car of its category, knocking off the Nissan sunny that came out about a year before it. I drove a graphite one for almost 5 years from 2001. Think many sold/scrapped earlier as coe dropped significantly around 03 onwards, so it made sense to change to a car with much lower coe...

Is this the corolla in 2000/2001? This corolla knock off Nissan Sunny during that era? I remember the 2000/2001 Nissan Sunny back then was super popular le, like every household also drove one. Lol.
