A saga?!?! You are exactly like my other friend. Who drives an old Saga. With a little bit of mod here and there. But with stock outlook! Open up the hood, its just like any Saga. But its hell faster than regular one. He wouldn't junk it and he takes good care of it. Anyway why don't you get a Merc since u deal with it everyday. Servicing it would not be a problem for you too right? I like the old E230 (W???) before the peanut eye one. The other "tank" besides a Volvo 240. That is robust as hell. I think they cost less than RM20K nowdays.

Can't blame Jada. They used the same bottom plate as the ones they used on those regular 350Z with deep dish wheels. So when they cast the same body with the same bottom plate and with real world spec wheels, you get this problem. Like i said many moons ago, Jada's facination with mega deep dish wheels with large axle differential would cause problems once they make the politically correct wheels for them.

Hey Mr admin, i used to steal the logo off those old Mercs when i was a kid. Then i break the circle and then i use the star as shuriken. Thanks to TV telling me i can be a kawasaki ninja. About Mercs. They are good cars. That is if you have a lot of money to keep them. Sure you could buy an old S320 for RM50K or less. But you need to pay a lot for parts. Some more if the NAP policy come into play, who would want to own a car that the gearbox alone cost 80% of the car value? And i thought paying RM15K for a brand new spanking CVT gearbox from Honda for the MK1 Jazz was expensive. My eyes bleed when i saw the quote of GB replacement for a E240. Nothing to say on those newer models out now. If i were in Euro countries, i would definitely buy conti cars. Simply because its local to them like Proton to us. And there are a lot of conti tuners for their makes there. And its cheap to own and maintain. They even have E class taxis everywhere! If i were in Japan it makes no sense to own a Conti. It way too freaking expensive to own and maintain than a Lexus. Mercs other competitor. hahahaha. Sometimes i see people who own Mercs simply because they can. I know a million dollar guy who owns one and he fetched me to his office to work on something. He asked for my opinion. I would say its a good comfortable car. But i find it is for lazy people. Not that they are lazy in work. But lazy in worrying about driving. People who does not give a thought how the car would want the driver to give their attention span to them. Now this coming from me driving a 1979 toyota Corolla coupe that is brash and trash and a good candidate for scrap yard. But at least the car would not make me doze off behind the wheel. Its just waiting to me to lapse in concentration and send me to heaven in a ball of flaming fury! But at least its the only one in Malaysia and not common like a Merc. hahahaha.

The axles are not bent. The wheels are round perfect. But i find the wheels are so low, they scrape the fender. The rear one especially. I think the read body that supports the axle is defective. Unless i open up the truck and shave the inside there is no way to make it roll. And my impression of this truck is terrible. There are no design aesthetics at all! Its square everywhere! A block of metal thats only good for its weight. What a bummer! Now i need a firecracker to stuff inside the ice cream truck and make history. What a lousy truck!!! Blardy over-hyped vehicle!! I haven't even come to Tooligan yet. The chrome is so thin and lousy, when i cleaned it with a rag under my finger nails, the chrome scratches off!!! It doesn't peel off in chunks but scratches off!! Crap!!! Wait for pictures.

If we didn't answer the phone in the first place, such post won't even come up. TS should prioritize who gets attention. Usually family gets attention. Not someone over the phone. Even if Sultan of Selangor call me at that time also i would hang up!!! No kidding! But ig God/Devil calls you, then you have to answer la. Because that could mean life or death!!!
