Car Infotainment System: I’m good for it and I see the improvement indeed. However...

All along this time, I think women’s car are sensible bunch, like Honda jazz and the hatches gang for example. Big enough to haul a day full of shopping and fuel efficient too, to help you keep up with the shopping budget. Or CUVs like Mazda CX-5 or Honda CR-V, big and tall to absorb all of your driving skill lapses,…

Our office water coolers are probably nastier than the underside of our cars. Mythbusters said that dog-licked public fountain is still cleaner than a random San Francisco office building’s water cooler they sampled. It even contained fecal bacteria, while the public park fountain contains only a harmless amount of…

Mrs. Susi used to lecture me back in my university years. She is a junior high school graduate, never go beyond 9th grade in US System. But she has a great business acumen. Indonesian fishermen and farmers have been unapologetically traditional and simple-minded: for too many times, they have been duped out of market…

But NASCAR crashes are always exciting though. F1 cars are just too brittle and you would cringe everytime they hit a dust. But NASCARs, you expect them to punch through other cars.

These very US-pop-culturey insults always makes me question why?

Have the privilege to ever drive all 3 drivetrain configurations (all of them are front-engined). I have just recently find out that Top Gear’s 4WD / AWD takes is wrong, partially reinforced by this entry and my simulation experience.

I also don’t like E36's generally boxy design. My uncle had one (320) my auntie had another (318i), and my other uncle had the biggest of all (323). While it has the expensive car smell, the interior is rather bad. Mitsubishi Galant still looks more expensive on the inside.

Back then, we have this before-waiting room baggage screening. Pretty annoying, but the airport security officer is very relaxed and generally very permissive.

Not the check in agent, but the TSA guy who search you after the check in area should feel the guilt. The check should be between the check in area and the waiting room area. He should have noticed the dangerous goods: knives, guns, pressurised cannisters, flammables, etc. Before 9/11 scissors and other puny metal…

So will it be QO for the lux version?

That is true. When I was in Sydney, Australia, we have Indian house mates. They fill half of the pan with onions. The caramelising onion fumes filled the entire house.

Sure, everyone knows that no one wants their property be destroyed, trashed, or littered by any potential tenants whose ethnicity is notorious for those behaviours that you would like to avoid.

Pretty normal from what I’ve read around here. You should look at other third world countries publications, where political correctness hasn’t entered our daily vocabularies.

The other Renault-Nissan car, the Datsun Go also crumples like accordion according to another Jalopnik entry. I am talking about the roof that simply gave away that makes the A-pillar crumples closer into the persons sitting at the front cabin.

SUV = Cabin-bodied truck

I am a 175 cm (5'9") guy. In my country, they sell this car as Suzuki Karimun. Firstly, this car is rough-and-tumble type, not the fun thing. I think you explained why the handling sucks, despite the car being light: the wheel turning ratio. This is a problem, negotiating curvy streets in a place were other drivers…

True, factory-installed LEDs are mostly projectors. My car also has that HID projector. These are the comparison between the projector and the reflector from the same car:

I’ve always maintained that bright white lights coming from LEDs, are ought to be projected, not reflected, because reflector disperses lights and causes glare. Projector focuses it, and if the oncoming traffic are smart enough, they won’t stare directly at the projector. It makes huge differences.

As a British-biased Anglophile, it is hard for me to discern what my brother said about European technology companies: they failed. No startups coming from Europe is as hyped as those coming from the US: AirBNB, Uber, Netflix, Facebook, etc etc etc. From the US? To save their face, let’s not count Google, Microsoft,…
