Or Doth The Unker Maketh The Car?
So my Mother-in-Law tells me and wifey over dinner today that her brother has just bought himself a 'sporty car'. And after some probing by
moi, we discovered it was a Nissan 350Z!!!
Shit! I had to dig 2 grains of chicken rice out from my nostrils after gagging on some cucumber. That 60-yr-old balding pot-bellied cheenatoot has more horsepower at his disposal than me! How am I going to park my average-Joe Renault next to his Fairlady this Chinese New Year? So Malu! :(
Well it got me thinking.
What does your car say about you? Does it say anything at all? About your taste, your lifestyle, your character. Can a Lambo-Gallardo suddenly make a famous
Char Kway Teow hawker hip and happenin'? So what if you have the money to get a Prancing Horse or a 3-pointed Star, can you carry it off? Those pale fat couch-potatoes who drive Landy Disco 3s, are they credible as serious off-roaders comfortable in the rainforests of Endau Rompin?
Or izzit who you really are that makes the difference? Can your charasmatic and stylish personality actually make a Kelisa look hip? Would your quirky humor match the wackiness of a Banana-yellow, Gerbera-infested Beetle?
Should cars be an extension of one's personality? I guess so. But what car suits which person? And who's to judge? Tough one huh... Everybody wants to believe that he/she looks chic in a 911 Carrera. But the truth is, money can't buy style and good taste :))
Well I shall leave you all with this 'age-old' conundrum then. In the meantime, I am wet with desire over these babies...
I think I can pull them off...I assume I can! :))
