Kelpie 2nd Gear June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 Hi all, Some got it for weekend shopping, e.g, a SUV or a MPV. Some husbands and Wives drive different cars so ended up 2 cars for one household. Some just want to try different made and brands , also ended up > 1 car. So where do you stand ? Regards, ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfive1 5th Gear June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 Some families are big so they have more cars especially if they're rich. Possible scenario listed below 2 family sedans, one for mum, one for dad. Possibly because they work at different locations and different hours. A third car for their young kid who has just gotten a license to drive. At the same time this young kid of theirs may study really far from where he/she lives so the car is a convenient way to get around. If they have 2-3 kids only a few years apart, then these kids may each have a car to drive if their house is big enough to fit all of them. I know of someone like that who lives in serangoon gardens.

SimonTan 2nd Gear June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 I believe some family husband and wife works at different location. So naturally they have to own two cars to go to work separately. Let's say two person already drives car before they got married. Naturally they will want to have their own cars after they got married, status quo. Nowadays girls are equally capable to own cars, so I guess it's common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaxe Clutched June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 One household having more than 1 or 2 cars is common, especially if their children are grown up and own cars too. I think the issue should be one person owning more than one car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue should be one person owning more than one car. In most families, 3 or 4 cars can be under the dad's name because of cheaper insurance. No big deal lah.

Esp if husband and wife are working and cannot share one car to work, so having 2 cars is a norm. But if one person owns more than 1 car, then i think very wasteful.

Kurtselva 2nd Gear June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 When I went to sentosa cove, saw at least 2-3 cars per home.. And 1 would be a sportscar eg Lambo or fellarli.. So I guess 1 would be for husband, 1 for wife, and the sportscar for nighttime/weekend playing Farking richies! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 (edited) those people whom i know owning more than one car, usually own expensive sports cars. my indo friend who lives at ardmore takes the taxi for convenience although he has 3 cars. aventador (just arrived) Aston DBS and Porsche 911turbo. cars to them are like watches and jewellery. definitely not simply transportation.

If you stay in sentosa cove such a "ulu place", and if there are a few people staying in sentosa cove house, surely everyone need to have their own car, more convenient to move around lo.

Haha well but most of the time the cars are under one person's name. I'm just pointing out the most common reason why people own more than one car. If you're talking about one person, then perhaps he has different needs. For example a 2 door coupe/convertible when he wants to show off at clubs, etc, a family sedan when he has to send his family members or when he goes out in a group. He may also have a car which has nothing but brute power when he feels the adrenaline rush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 I believe if a person owns more than 1 car, the most valid reason is this person must have too much money and dont know where to "throw"! So this person would buy more than 1 car according to his needs. Like an expensive conti saloon to work and dinner appoinment, normal jap car to msia and SUV to chiong off-road etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some even have their owned yacht parked at the rear of their house.. Wont be surprised if they have their own helicopter and helipad Like that they will have all modes of transportation covered: Land, Air and Sea Edited June 17, 2012 by Kurtselva Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
