Car fetish ~

I'm suddenly getting the craze about cars ~ :p I've actually been interested in cars ever since I was in college, but not until recently only did I start earning my own income and actually able to afford those mods.

So occasionally I'll be blogging about what I've done to my car. :p At least something to keep this blog alive ehhh ? :p

On a side note, ever since the petrol price has increased, I've not actually filled petrol for my car yet... but imagine, about what.. 5-6 years ago, it took Rm50 to supply my car (Wira if I may add..) with a full tank of petrol. Today, it takes double that amount!! I used to admire cars which could fill over RM100 worth of petrol during those days (that time, I used to equate powerful cars with big petrol tanks, hahaha), now, it's a nightmare!!

but don't get me wrong... I actually support the move to reduce to subsidy ~ somehow I feel it's a good move to make us more ... independent, if you will. If you think about it the way the Government wants you to, it's true, they can't shield us forever when it comes to fuel subsidy. So sooner or later, we'll still have to face it.

The thing which I don't agree, is with our current salary range... the petrol may still be the cheapest in the region, but our salary is also one of the lowest as well. With the sudden rise of petrol price, it comes to no surprise that everything else will follow suit.. Some even declaring a hyper-inflation. I don't know how bad it's going to be, but one thing's for sure, there's no cheap way out of this....

Hopefully things won't get too out of hand (by saying this, I'm pretty sure things will get ugly, but hopefully it won't be too much..)...
