Not Good for your Vehicle (NGV)

So people are talking about installing NGV tank in their car. I am not going to do the same. I rather have my teeth pulled rather than installing that nuclear tank in my car. Just read this:

1. Yes, it cheaper than petrol but it will cost you RM3K – RM5K just to install the tank.

2. You will spend 3 year queuing at NGV station every time you want to fill up your car with the gas. The good thing is that you can make a friend with taxi drivers.

3. It is dangerous. Some mechanics told me that it could affect chassis structure. But, if you want to die in car accident, just ignore this.

4.Bad news for lady driver. It can reduce space for you to keep your unused shoes.

5. It’s just not macho.

Think twice.

Car Washing Tips : The Concept

( No subliminal gay messages were use in this article)

I am untypical Malaysian guy. I don’t watch football and I don’t really care if I don’t have a girlfriend. But the most important thing about this is, I never send my car to car wash. I just don’t believe them and I don’t think I will satisfy with their job.

There are three basic steps in cleaning your car. Washing, polishing and waxing. Washing is like washing your face with facial foam to remove all dirty things while polishing is like using facial scrub to remove dead cell from your face. In metro sexual guy (or gay) point of view, waxing is like applying some lotion or sun block to your face. The main purpose is to protect your face from UV or UVB and to moisturize your face.


I use Meguiar’s product line in this process. Yes, it’s quite expensive but it worth it. Meguir’s car shampoo (it can preserve wax protection) cost me RM28 for 475ml while Meguiar’s Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax priced RM47 (475ml). I use microfibre cloth (with nano technology) since normal cloth will harm cars paintwork.

Car wash didn’t use this entire thing. They don’t really care about your car, but the important thing that they get huge amount of money from it. Washing your own car is good if you want to build a relationship with your car. Err.. I am untypical Malaysian guy. Am I?
