Real Monsters Among Us

September 9, 2009

Today I can tell you that monsters are no longer cryptids. Why? Because I have 3 monsters to show you right now:

suzuki_baleno_da8000tf

This one is known for its vaguely large behind, and its lack of jaw. Up to this point, we still don’t know how it manages to chew its preys.

The opposite of the one before, this particular creature is well known for it’s ginormous jaw. Probably able to suck the skin out of you.

As for this one… To tell you the truth, I don’t have any idea whether this thing came from Earth or not. Perhaps it landed here when the meteor killed the dinosaurs millions of years ago. And oh yes, apparently, it’s an Autobot.

Facts:
Suzuki Baleno, DA 8000 TF, AutoBridal, Kaliurang, Yogyakarta. (DH)
Toyota Avanza, B 1458 CA, UGM, Yogyakarta. (DH)
Volvo 850 (perhaps), B 971 VW, unknown location. (RU)

Apparently we still have some stocks left for all of our previously produced T-shirts. They are all down from IDR 65.000 to IDR 40.000 (with shipping already included for Jabodetabek area).

As before, to maintain our anonymity, all orders will be handled by our good friend Neuro-Designs who has been kind enough to provide us with the hosting sponsor. Please head over to their store to see the details on how to order the tees, including the remaining stock chart and size chart. Or, you can simply email them and tell your details (name, address, size), and they will get back to you on how to pay the goodies.

Get them why they last, as we won’t be producing any more T-shirts any time soon.

What Would Ricer Timorers Do?

September 2, 2009

The Timor is probably one of the crappiest tin-can car that ever landed on the streets of Indonesia. Realizing this, there must be ways on how to upscale its credibility. Well, here are some cheap-o-tips (cheap, as in the car’s quality and price kind of cheap) usually used by ricers who seem to end up with a car that can be dented by a bicycle tire:

Tip #1: Place a tuner’s logo sticker, any tuner of any brand

Don’t worry if that sticker is RalliArt, or TRD, or whatever. People won’t think that you have a Timor.

Tip #2: Place some other car’s logo, any logo

timor_b1997su

Go beyond the limits by placing any automotive manufacturer logo. Like this Suzu… Err… Timor for example, who knows people might see it as a Baleno?

Tip #3: Use paint creatively

timor_b1293ub_1

It seems like an ordinary Timor, right? No. Why?

Because painting your brake drums or calipers lime green would perhaps give you some imaginary additional braking power.

Timor, B 1293 UB, Wijaya Graha Puri parking area. (dos)
