mostly share???
digi?
ytl?

Just sharing stories, not teaching others.
It saddens me to see such person who are obviously jealous of others.

But If you are so worked up about it,sorry can't help you either, thats your decision.
But keep that sarcasm and jealousy to yourself will you, for the sake of others.

Again, like some people here shared that some rather spend on a posh car, but still live in a apartment.
Or some have a Proton Wira but living in a 2 1/2 story house.

P.s - FYI I'm not an Indonesian BTW. I'm a Malaysian.

Different people different opinion la.

Some people buy nice car to impress themselves and their friend, because car is being driven out and seen by many others.
They do not care much about their living place as no one even bother that much about it.

Some other people buy better housing to enjoy and better living lifestyle. They do not care much about impressing others of their cars and luxury product, as long as they live happy and lack of nothing is more than enough.

I'd say that car does make me look rich. Ahem, a nice car like Accord.
By first impression, people will sees how expensive the product is and you had it in your hands. Although you're loaning it, but who cares about that, people talks about what they see in the current state.

In my own opinion, car is a needy tool in current days at KL. No car, means you got a hectic life with KTMs Buses or LRTs.
It does bring much advantages as it became my travelling tool. Talk about travelling, any car can do the job.

To buy a better car. I will do that when I have extra cash money which is really 'extra' and flexible enough to be spend to upgrade my vehicles. As long as the sum of money doesn't affect my lifestyle even if I spend it, it is all good

wira with 2 1/2 storey house , it is either u buy the double storey house 10-15yrs ago, which is relatively cheap at that time , which is 90% correct...

u spend most of the time inside a car if u r working in kl... at least 2hours ? comfort is important....

balanced lifestyle ...

Shyt! I'm not a guy anymore....

Tell him to buy Lambo or Ferrari then i say he is a "guy"

I love beemers but not in another 5 years, Dun need it now yet.
Im more an avid superbiker and mountain biker.
my bikes alone cost almost 3x my myvi but thats not the point. I bought
in in cash and the cash comes from my farming business, not from slaving frm 9 till whenever.
I dun work for the banks, that is what im proud of, though i dun plan to flaunt my wealth at 80!
Cant even walk properly by 80..how to flaunt? by 40 latest, ha!

First, your indon story is stupid. its like saying, that girl got xxxxx because she wear sexy. then you trying to tell how safe it is to not wear sexy, ignoring the fact that it is your freedom to drive whatever car you wanted here, without fearing of your life been taking, or your daughter and wife xxxxx right in front of you.

second, bro, you sick? how can i jealous of you when you did not mention any of your wealth and your car? go get a life. who will be jealous of your stupid example , which is the only thing that you shared here? wait....you mean you're the millionaire that take bicycle and go shopping in dubai? like i care.

bad indon story, and i feel sorry about you when you try to use this kind of story to justify why you wanna drive rubbish car. even animals do not conduct those indon action. and God/superman/batman/mother nature wiped them out in one night.

Jealous?

Make 1 point right. CRZ is not in above league then a vios.

Crz is just 2 doors and vios 4 doors. Vios can catch up with a crz no problem. stock vs stock.

Want status, if he drive a 2 door Audi,Mers or BMW ok la...

Crz..... my god... he really a sales man la..

You dont see Merc/BMWs in Medan cause the road/flood is BAD! My Odyssey 3.0 nearly stalled infront of Thamrin plaza due to what they consider a "minor" flood! My frens there driving 4wd/suvs all laughed at me.

Infact, the percentage of private sedans in medan is reall small.

Not relevant. I just didnt like the 3 hours jam I got into from Kelapa Gading to Grand Hyatt last week. Alphard so what... no toilet in the car still uncomfortable. bleh.

Ever heard of even side mirror cover of an Inspira being stolen while parked in KL?
Yes I've heard of it too. Sounds silly but it had happened.


Strange wor.... I just know my fren drove me in his Merc GL in the weekend when we go play airsoft. And got buy ferrari.. wait.. sorry.. that one is 2 frens in their 30s share.. cause no time drive so many car. When during the weekend BBQ, quite a few supercar turn up wor.

But in Malaysia, the rich & powerful Government people spend their money on rewarding themselves travelling overseas frequently and shop,dine & stay in 5 star luxury.
Wait until you see how they spend their money, your eyes will pop out.

Car can be an INTANGIBLE investment because you & your family worth more than any of your properties & investments, NO?

High-end card normally comes with more safety equipments. Car value drops but family value grows sitting in a safer car. Wealth is more than just dollar & cent, for me at least

Be humble, you don't have to bother what people thinks about you. Live your own live and by your own rules.

+ 1... even for sales person, for my self personally, I dont see what car my supplier drive, but the quality of service, price competitiveness etc that matters....

cheers....

again, you have are aeverage person, own an average car, save in FD, get the extra out for investment that provide return.. not depreciation

dugong is good enough. Why burden yourself more becoz some friend said you should.

And just doing sales is not like you are some manager level ppl or rich businessman.

Not only that.... when you go holiday.. why stay in a 5 star hotel? Why not stay in a cheap Inn? Cause more comfort? more safety?

Applies to the car also.... u pay for the Comfort, Safety, etc.

Some peopel think the 30k they save by putting their family in a car without airbag is fine... up to them. Everyone have their own priority.

Rich means no need to do anything also got money to spend for life. Driving a nice car does not make one rich. What a stupid idea to spend hundred thousands on car when that money can work to make more money.

Are you by any chances is insurance or car salesman?
If you're not, you should become one. You'll make a great sales person.

I see some forumers are attacking my personal opinions, and this is unwanted
But first , I apologise first for some rudeness in some my context.

Some choose to flash as much wealth as they want,drive Lamborghini, to make others envious and be snobbish.
Some choose to be humble even though they have abundance of wealth.

If you want to drive a Ferrari just to pick up some chics at ZOUK to hopefully to bang them tonight, go ahead.
No one stops you. I repeat. No one stops you. You have the cash. Its your money. Not mine.

But if you just have a MYVI right now and still happily socialise with friends for mamak, then go ahead also.
It still makes you happy. I'm happy also too.

Nobody says you are not allowed Ferrari, Lamborghini.
I also want a Aston Martin if I could really afford one.
Everyone surely has their dream cars.

But if you cannot afford one now, be grateful for what car you have NOW. yes. Grateful.
Be it just a MYVI, Kancil, Saga BLM, etc. Because its happier to be grateful of what you own now.
Than being over envious of other people driving posh cars.
Life is meant to be happy. So what if you just have a MYVI.Its you yourself is happy driving it. Not for him/her driving the Ferrari.

If anyone still disagrees about whatever I share about my Indo story, and thinks they know better than me.
Thats your opinion. Sarcasm doesn't help either. Period. I am happy with my current lifestyle.

Buying an expensive car for comfort and safety I can agree, but buying a car for the sole purpose of impressing your peers is another thing.

But one can argue that owning a nice ride that impresses others makes one happy, and you can't put a price on happiness. To that I can only say, each to his own.

dear philosopher. do tell me the amount of millions that you have in your bank right now. rich don't need to do anything? that's the biggest joke ive ever heard. looks like the only rich that you are looking at are 20 year old kids who drives his dad's ferrari.

Added on July 27, 2012, 2:08 pmdriving a nice car reflects what you have achieved and that makes you happy. of course, everyone has their ego to feed, just to the point of how much does the ego needs to be fed. if a young chap buys a civic with a rm1000 loan from his rm3000 loan, that's feeding way too much for his ego. if another chap gets a free civic from his dad, that's his luck. i don't see the point of butthurt in this case. all i can see these days are people with nice clothes and nice rides but can't afford a nice meal in the mall.
