from your situation, i can conclude 2 things that my friends did as a solution..

Solution No.1: Take steering lock bash open his window. Release the handbrake and then push the car away.

Solution No.2: This was done using the mitsubishi storm. what he did was slowly reverse the car until hit the other car with minimal impact to your car. what we felt inside the car was a slight bump only. Then, floor the pedal until the obstruction is outta the way...

10 feet or 10 inches?? I usually have to select which parking i can park in...
ie. Shopping centre carparks are usually perpendicular to the road. If the other side of the road is a wall, cars will definately parallel park there. Then my car stuck there like *#*!*@*.


much better consumption than my ranger xlt...

let me show u all the diagram,i think the space behind me is less than 10 feet because for normal sedan car,they can reverse also but a bit difficult too.so can u all imagine ,how to get out from the parking lot with a 17 feet long Hilux?

About the fuel comsumption,i also get about 600KM in town driving,Today i go fill up my tank and my town driving consumption is RM0.18 per KM.Very sad,once NAIK 20sen,our hilux need pay extra 3 sen for each KM.First time la, for me diesel vehicles need save on fuel la,even wanna put engine in idle also need to think.Oh,diesel prie increase,need save up diesel.Haih.

don't put winch la waste of money only...my uncles winch only start once a year to warm up the motor only...somemore he goes to hutan and lombong every weekend..

we should put a petition to the govt to reduce roadtax la...since the rise of diesel they should at least reimburse us on the road tax since our green engine is very low pollution

oic..truthfully, i seldom park in those type of car parks..unless i know someone can't park behind me..

Better brace yourselves cause diesel is going to go up further ..

We can't do anything more practical regarding diesel going up?It will affect our car value...At least fight for 50% off the Roadtax.

truthfully, turbodiesel twin-cabs already enjoy really low govt tax when we buy it. Otherwise, the ford ranger would cost about the same as the ford everest (~140k). We saved 50k when we bought it. To ask for the same rights as petrol cars would mean our cars will go up in price.

Abdullah already said subsidies are bad. Everytime there's a hike in fuel prices, price of diesel leaps. Please don't make any anti-govt comments with regards to my post. It's getting tiring.

i know how u feel...hehe...cos i had been through it before...maybe all pick up driver had through this before...very hard to parking also...wrong turn and wham...huhuhu...i once involved in an accident with an iswara...the iswara kiss my rear ranger...believe it or not...my ranger only got some minor scratch on the rear bumper...the iswara lost his left light,fender,bonnet...luckily his bumper not kena...padan muka...some more blame me...

my ranger can go up to 550 km full tank town driving...highway is about 650-700 km...full tank will cost me about 80-85 ringgit...walawei...very high comsumption compare to my friend evo 7 ma...he can get 160-180 using 20 ringgit of petrol...some more 280 bhp 4 wheel and boost at 1.2 maa...huhuhu...

btw LJS...very nice drawing..ekekeke...

lower import tax ,lower roadtax are possible la
at sabah sarawak,their roadtax only few hundred,not more than thousand

all we can do now is pray !!! and hope that some high gov officer is reading this topic...hahaha...

Which Ranger are you driving? Old or new model? I can't put that much diesel into my car!


sabah + sarawak don't enjoy the amount of paved roads and highway that we do...that's why their roadtax is cheaper. I suppose you can go to cameron highlands to register your car. You only pay 10% road tax and but your car cannot go out of camerons.

Another way is to register your car under company. A lot less road-tax but you need to paint your company name beside the car and you need to go Puspakom to check car every year or 6 months.

Petrol road tax isn't that much cheaper. I think a Pajero 2.6 pays about 1.3k road tax.

Re to parking: Die die also will kena scratch cause this is m'sia after all. The standard car park size is shorter than our 4x4 twincabs. Even the guy trying to park beside you will scratch you. I kena so many times until I also sian to look at my own car. But then, the more scratched and dirty my car is, the more ppl will give way to me. muahaha.

if i register under company also same la,the insurance will more expensive
i calculated before,it is almost the same if u registered as private use or company commercial.

My Hilux is registered under company private.

if i'm not mistaken we just need go puspakom each year only ma,then our ADD-ON accessories or Tyre or Rim which is not comes originally must be taken off.

My mum tell me that if u so care to ur hilux,then ur hilux will get more scratches because u r so care to it.May be it is true also,u can see those car park "chin chai",there is not scratches on their but i always park at the most suitable place ,scratch by cilaka people.God will BLESS them.
