Alert : This is not the awe-inspiring blog where a 60-year-old rare car gets restored. This, non-existent ladies, and gentlemen unfortunately is much much more mundane. So bear with me.
Everyone needs a beater car - you could come up with many reasons why... but deep down another set of wheels is such an alluring prospect.

I took the emission test recently. The guy said the car seemed to be wasting a bit of fuel.

Back in the day when i was searching for FIT GP hybrids, I had a look on almost all the cars available on the two main sites which are closer to me and there was this one car which had a mugen kit and looked very sporty but had above 150k on the clock.

But afterwards i saw the car getting advertised in different car sales one after another.
Came across the same car yesterday accidently, and the ODO meter reading is now 89k. Just imaging what is the level of mentality of most of the car sale owners in SL.
