Project: Match

There's always a car out there for everyone, regardless whether you're a closet track racer or a Soccer Mom. Project: Match is set up as an attempt for me to evaluate my friends' character and match them with a car that responds to that character. The answers is not based on that person's wealth or success, only what they will choose based on how I see them. 

1. AMOS HO

Amos has dual Identity Disorder. He's caught between the corporate world and a world he wish he could forever live in. 

BMW 5 SERIES

This is the car he will use for work. He'll hate how this car drives, but he knows the corporate world is very superficial and he'll need to blend in to be good at what he's doing. Probably a 523i simply for the fuel efficiency and cheaper maintenance.

LAND ROVER DEFENDER

Deep down inside he's an adrenaline junkie. Particularly for jungle ravaging. He'll have at home this car. He'll love the feeling of driving at a viewpoint higher than others, and the ability to push other cars out of his way if he so chooses. If this car comes with the 6.5l Twin Turbo, he'll take it. Camo paint? Yes please! This will be his weekend car, with which he'll get himself lost somewhere in the woods and hope Simon would lead him back to civilization. If Simon fails, all the better. 

2. SHERRIE NG

Sherrie hates driving. She'll be happy if she never get to drive anything at all, ever. She likes things that don't surprise, especially in a bad way. She values honesty and practicality in cars so they'll never fail her when she needs it them the most. 

MERCEDES S500

The Merc S500 is reliable. It's luxurious, and it's perfect for her to be driven around with. She'll get the 500 for times when she has to get from place to place like Now. She'll also opt for Silver color, because her father would probably not let her in their house if it wasn't. The Merc S500 is also the symbol of the success, because that matters to her. 

3. CANNESS LEONG

Canness hates driving. Maybe it's a girl thing. She only drive to work and back, and only when nobody's there to drive her around. And when she's driving she adopts a principal of 'Get back Fast So I Can Leave This Thing!'. She can't differentiate between the Honda Camry and Toyota Accord. 

HONDA JAZZ

Simply for the looks and size. She can fit all her shopping stuff in the back, and parking will be a breeze. Maintenance is Okay, and she'll also probably take the Silver because she don't have to wash them all the time. This car will most probably be at home because everyone else will drive her around everywhere. When asked, she'll even tell her friends this car is a Myvi. But what's the difference? They've both got front lights, back lights, four wheels,......

4. HAN JUAN

Somehow Juan strikes me as a person who likes things very very efficient and very very effective. He likes to drive, and would like it more if there was something zippy and agile to work with him from home to Mad Monkeyz or Push More. 

 MINI COOPER S

He'll smile. He likes the 140bhp. Not too powerful, but good for overtaking and getting to places quickly. He don't need good boot  space, and his girlfriend would just have to drive her own car out shopping. This car cuts to the chase, gives him exactly what he wants. And it also looks good with him. He might just opt for the Blackjack Vinyls for added coolness.

5. CHENG LEONG

Lawyer man always travel between office and court, and sometimes getting a decent parking space is difficult. For that, he'll get a car that can attract enough attention so he can get to use special parking lots without jockeys making a fuss. This car would have to be nice enough to make a good impression, and not tell his clients he charges a bomb for services. 

PORSCHE CAYMAN S

I know. Not the best car to tell his clients he's not a cut-throat bastard. He will get it because he now gets to park it next to his bosses' cars, and tell them he's got some attitude. He will get it also because it seats only two. It's okay, as he always goes home for dinner. But he will have it filled with Doraemon designs and stickers, and this will make the car look less than professional.

More after the break.
