Lebaran is Coming!

September 26, 2008

Lebaran is coming! Which means the holiday is also just about at our doorstep. So we’re going to end this week with cars that riceboys could use to “pulang kampung”:

First of all, it’s the APV. Well nothing beats this, it’s vacant, it has a lot of seats. And in this case, stickers! That can guarantee that you arrive to your hometown faster!

As old as it maybe, but with four exhausts at its disposal, even the APV is no match in speed…

The gayish pink Avanza is obviously the perfect car for those gay riceboys… It fits 8 people! Can you imagine what it’s gonna be when you pack 8 gays in a car on a journey, say, to Yogyakarta?

Some riceboys might want to show their families what it’s like to be a riceboy when they got home. As for this one, too bad, when he modded that rear skirt, he forgot that he has an exhaust pipe on his car.

Kijang, the jack-of-all-trades is obviously one of the top choices for riceboys. This one however, with those big-ass wheels I’m not really sure if it could make it to go all the way back to its owner’s hometown. But don’t worry, again, with four exhausts and shaved doors, not even a Murcielago can beat the crap out of this.

If your hometown is reachable only by scaling mountains, yes, you can use this one. One thing to keep in mind is that it may topple at any time.

For those who have a bit more of a “Fortune”, yes, there’s nothing wrong with showing a bit of a bling to your family back there. It’s one of those ways to show them that you can afford cheap stuff.

But apart from all that, this one is off the chart. If you want exclusivity, luxury, power, and speed to be with you on your journey back to your hometown, nothing else could give you that but…

The Rolls Royce Feroza…

Well, here’s our last post before the holiday. Enjoy and cherish the moments with your families. Minal Aidzin Walfaidzin to those who celebrate, and riceboys… Just don’t come back to Jakarta, okay?

The 16th IIMS: The Ugly Stuff

July 24, 2008

Now, as the second post, we’ll go over the hideous and ugly stuff from this year’s IIMS. Starting with this:

The Foton. Yes, it is yet another Chinese brand. It looks like the Mitsubishi Colt but slightly abnormal, it’s highly chromed, and it is named after Starfleet’s weaponry.

Not that we mind with this mild modification, but…

Do you think this is necessary? The hood is not gonna fly anytime soon, you know…

This is sad, sad Honda Jazz. Why, you say? Simple. Because it’s not a Lamborghini.

And if you think that’s already bad, this one is even worse. Why?

Because it’s so called hydraulic or pneumatic or whatever they use in there, doesn’t really let you to step on the gas pedal. Riceboy’s aesthetics 101… Looks first, think later.

And to sum it all, Honda has this all eco-friendly theme going on, and guess what kind of plant they used to promote it…

Yes… Of all plants, they used weed.

In any car show, there must be at least one poser that thinks he owned a real deal race car. Well, guess who made this…

Straight on, brother! None other than the dude himself. How ya doin’, mate? What version is your car now at?

And to add the ugliness at its best, the interior is covered with snake skin. Oh, dear Lord…

I don’t care if this is just a show car, it is sure ugly as hell. What is with these guys and chrome stickers?

Venom is probably the epitome of car entertainment dumbness. They’re probably the only retards to use a fake Hummer to promote their products.

As for this rim… Well, if you can’t get the real deal, you can always buy the fake one. After all, “Apapun mobilnya, velgnya kan harus Fabulous…”

This is the latest innovation in Daihatsu Astra’s R&D, the racing-styled Daihatsu Xenia…

That comes with a fully functional external brochure holder.

Now, if you ever wondered how riceboys got their stupid inspirations from, we have a set of pictures to explain them all. Starting with this one:

This, is called “Cool Design”, a design by Gaut Widjanarko, a Product Design student from ITS Surabaya. Let me cite his explanation for you.

“Desain innova sudah bagus, sehingga desain yang saya buat hanyalah menciptakan kesan, citarasa baru untuk innova. KONSEP DASARNYA ADALAH MENYAMARKAN GARIS LENGKUNG, SUDUT ROUNDED DENGAN MENAMBAHKAN LEBIH BANYAK GARIS LURUS, TEGAS, DAN BEBERAPA SUDUT TAJAM.

And hence… He created the next generation Dadones. Here’s another one:

A new inspirational design for you who really really, and I mean REALLY love ALTOs…

Or that blasted Livina X-Gear, but doesn’t really want to shell out more money to buy it…

But when it goes to the Anak Selatan club… Behold…

The inspirations for the elegant Innova. Yeah, yeah, sure…

ALTO APV

This must be the first one of its kind. The owner probably spent his childhood playing with Tamiya’s Lunch Box too often, and since in Indonesia, the closest shape you’ll get to a Lunch Box is an APV, well… There you go… Wanna bet on when this thing tips over?
