Project: Match Issue 002

Project: Match Issue 002. Lets get on with it, shall we.

1. KEANGSTON

Keangston (this guy's name really tests my typing skills) doesn't believe in moderation. He'd either not get into something, or it's gonna be till death. I know pilots are speed demons, but when I'm writing this post down he's not one yet. As far as cars are concerned though, he'll see things a little differently. I believe the keyword here is Refinement. For as much as I don't know about him, I've listed two potential cars he could fit into.

VOLKSWAGEN EOS
No this is NOT a girl's car. This is as manly a car can ever get. A 'Refined' manly car. Despite parents' discouragements on buying cars with the resale value of peanuts, he would get this one. And it would be in White. Washing it would be a pain, but the end result would be satisfying. There's absolutely no boot space for this car, so he'd reserve the two back seats for climbing and Cross Fit gears. As much as he hates the heat here in KL, he would draw down the roof whenever possible simply because no other car in the 250 mile radius can. 2.0 TSi? Packs a punch. You just don't know it. Unlike the Z4 or the SLK, the EOS is humility derived from the richest of castes.

MERCEDES SLS AMG
 "No, that's not the car I want either!" Tough luck, dude. This is my blog.

Well now if Keangston hates the EOS, I believe this would be the one. This car is the ultimate contingency, for if he, somehow, can't become a pilot in the future. I'm not saying that he won't, but it's always good to have a Plan B. First off, it's got Wings. They don't literally fly, but boy 571bhp can take him places. The insides look quite 'Flight-Ready' as well.
Secondly, would you just look at that gear knob. It's made to look and feel like the throttles on Jumbo Jets. See, it's the Land Jet. Forget the Bugatti, it's got no aesthetic value whatsoever (which I'm sure I've already offended quite a a lot of people by this line). No, seriously. You have got to see this car. It is an Absolute Mmmmarvel (With Clarkson's exaggerated slang).
 









2. ANNA RINA RAHIM

This woman is.... a bit of a man as well. She's manly, and sometimes when need be, womanly as well. Both a symbol of masculinity and feminism. She can curse like a sailor's mother and she can be as polite as a canary. 

PORSCHE BOXSTER S
Why the Boxster, you ask? Because this car represents her. It's wild, 310bhp wild. It's refined, superb German engineering refined. And it's topless! Anna hates shopping, so to hell with the boot. She hardly drives anyone around, so passenger seat for Paco or Onni or whatever their names are. She'll probably go for the manual 6-speed because nothing beats handling the stick. Now what color would she get this car in? Blue? Black? That I can't tell.





3. EDMUND TAN

Edmund believes a car should be able to take him from one place to another. And fit 500 large shopping bags. And look good. And feel good to drive. Edmund's father believes a car should have good resale value. And nothing else. 

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI
His dad will scream at him for buying this 'Thing'. Until he tells his dad it's got 7 SRS Airbags, and it sells for 70% money back. And it'll make his dad look good in front of his friends. That'll relief his mom off heavy jewelry. What a good son he's turning out to be. He'll take the black. He'll drive this car for 4 years, and still not know how to use the DSGs. He'll be able to avoid suicidal dogs better with this car.






4. HUEY TENG

Calamity. She wants a good car to posh around with, but her job makes it virtually impossible. Unless of course she starts up her own company at home. Her going home later than everyone else habit makes her a good robbery/raping/killing/bombing victim. So this is what she'll probably settle with. 

HONDA CIVIC
Hey, she used to own a Daihatsu Ascend. And as of last year, she officially hates white cars. The Civic is practical. Space, Comfort, Low Maintenance, Fuel Efficient and.... *snoring from boredom*. Father gets the Nissan Sentra because it's known for being able to last a hundred years maintenance-free. Look at the Nissan Sunny 120Y. But Prune-face won't do what father did. She'll make a difference! She will get a car with a lifespan of a Housefly! Okay that'll be a Proton, but pretend for a moment Protons don't exist. Bottom line is, she won't be a target of snatch theft in the middle of the night. She'll choose this car over the Toyota Corolla Altis simply because she sees more ladies drive this than the Altis.





5. NAZNEEN HALIM

Nazneen would love to drive. But she can't. And she probably won't, not until someone buys her a Hummer. And if she ever gets one, she'll probably have problem seeing pass the steering wheel. 

THE TAXI
Probably the best way to get around town, no doubt. Wave, get in, direct, read a book, pay, get out. When car prices go up, she's not bothered. When petrol prices go up, she's not bothered. When parking prices go up, she's not bothered. But when drivers haggle, she's bothered. When drivers tweak the meters, she's bothered. When she has to go home pass midnight and pay extra on fare, she's bothered. When the back seats reek of dead rats, she's bothered. When the driver starts ranting about his life, she's bothered. Well Neen Neen, you can't get the best of everything.
