Lux cars?

Oh right, yesterday's news, biggest irony of the week. The number of sales of mass production cars has gone down dramatically while the sales of really expensive sports models have gone up. This follows the worldwide phenomena of rising oil prices. Right. So now, less people buy mass production cars, which are more economical, because of rising oil prices and buy more sports cars instead. WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANT TO BUY SPORTS CARS IN SINGAPORE?? "oh! Rising oil prices! We must buy sports cars in a country where the fastest road allows you to travel at a grand 100km per hour! (taking into account you are allowed to exceed the speed limit by at most 10km/hr) also, since we're driving 2.4 to 3.2 litre cars, the increase in petrol consumption for the same bloody distance will save us lots of money! AND save the world by increasing the amount of CO2 in the air too! Not taking into account the completely affordable $1.3m!"

Seriously, what is the problem with these people? A Ferrari ain't gonna get you to your destination any faster than a Toyota corolla in Singapore! If you're gonna spend 1.3mil on a car for its coolness, how bloody cool is a Porsche in a traffic jam? How cool is a car that makes a bloody hell of a noise when travelling at a miserable 60km/hr in orchard road? What? You find it cool to stop at every traffic light with a roar? Or you love to make a flying start only to stop at the next one? oh what? You're not gonna drive it? When why buy the damn car?? "hey folks, check out my cool Lamborghini! Bought it at a couple hundred grand. Oh and guess what? I've never driven it before!"

What the hell la!
