The Most Powerful Car Ever Produced

August 24, 2008

So how do you picture the most powerful car ever produced? A modified Skyline GT-R? The Bentley Brooklands? The Bugatti Veyron perhaps? Picture this. Japanese, SUV, three engines, turbos, and six wheels.

You got it. You see, there are many benefits on having multiple engines in a car. For instance, you’ll be able to turn a Terrano into a 2-seater, since you’ll most likely need the space for the two additional engines. Next, you’ll be able to have three different preferences of power. When you’re feeling economical, you can switch on the 100PS engine. If you need to beat your neighbor’s stock Terrano, simply turn on the 120PS engine. And, if you’re feeling in an adrenaline rush, the 220PS engine is always there for you. BEST OF ALL!!! You can use EVERY SINGLE ENGINE and give your Terrano a 440PS of collective power. And with the power of 6×4, there will be no, and I repeat, there will be no mountain too steep to climb.

I tell you, this, is your dream machine. But by the end of the day, you will realize that this all was a schizophrenic dream.

Fashion Trends for Lame Korean City Cars

August 24, 2008

Oh, this should be easy… Since they are lame in speed, power, and look, all they need is to look fast and nobody would ask questions.

When you have the least budget, you can always try a double exhaust to complement your already sorry ass 1.0 L engine. Don’t worry, people usually thinks cars with two exhausts are fast. Imagine Ferarris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis… You know the drill.

If you have a bit more budget to do more than just adding some exhausts, you can always try the skunk paint job, along with white-walled tires. Now, your car looks like a deformed horse carriage from the 1800s. Classic…

If you have even more money to spend on cosmetic surgery, the luck is on your side. You can try botox to emphasize your car’s lips, eyelids, love handles, legs, and pretty much everything within sight.

And yes, you can still even try the botox on the ass. Picture Jennifer Lopez with two exhausts. Sexy, no?

Life as an Audi Knock-Off

August 24, 2008

When the latest Audi grill design hit the market, it was an instant success. Even the Volkswagen GTI shared a similar grill design that makes the car look even sportier, even though it was already a potent to-die-for hot hatch.

What effect does that bring to our ricing culture?

Even those who cannot afford GTIs or Audis want the grill. Too bad… Whatever you do, it’s still a Suzuki.

Suzuki Swift, B 17 MD, Pondok Indah Mall parking area.
