What reputation?

Ok Ok.. sorry sorry... INknow, car prices are a matter of life or death for some...

....and.... ?

I doubt if anyone else outside AL and EK is this concerned about the car prices and the taxes...

I see nothing wrong with it. If you really look at it, this might save a few people from bankruptcy.

I suggest OP buy a Nissan Leaf... if running less than 1000kms.

I dxread the day they advertise that Lambo.. imagine Winker mirrors, beat barrel, diesel convert, serviced by Chamara ayya in Negombo, pull powerpul ispeaker set...

Not a big problem for a well adjusted man to live off the woman... besides he will be able to buy more MIlk Powder and Sardines and kaali miris and koththamlli... plus might be able to afford the rental for a less than 1000cc car...

I am sorry but you will hate me for this... but if you are not going to drive not more than 1000Kms a month, why do you need such a large outlay financially? A Hybrid if running less than 1000kms a month will be no more economical than a used non-Hybrid car within a reasonable budget. I didn't bother reading the rest...

Depends if you are a Sil redi wearing Hybrid Driving Royal Subject type... are you? A citizen or a subject?

But Sardines, milk powder and maalu paang are less of a cost now... so is mUng Eta... aren't the thel hingannas happy about that?

The hybrid drivers will not be buying any of these machang... they are special...

And koththamalli tax down, along with sugar also.

Sustagen prices have come down too... now you can drink more Sustagen and not worry about car prices. You will need koththamalli anyway when the car tax gets 'revised' in the next budget... Hope the fuel saving from your hybrids are safe in FD...

Guys, price of sardines have come down... Sugar and coriander also...yayyyy!!! So now you can drive your car to Co-)p city and buy above mentioned items and increase the overall BHP in the cars...

$53 Million In Shipwrecked Luxury Cars Is Headed For The Scrapyard By Benjamin Zhang12 hours ago     View gallery . Youtube/Wonkabar007 A damaged Rang Rover. The Höegh Osaka cargo ship that nearly capsizedoff of the southern coast of England earlier this month has been re-floated and towed back to port.According to the BBC, the Norwegian-owned auto carrier and its cargo of more than 1,200 cars, SUVs, and construction equipment has been unloaded at the docks in Southampton, where the ship's journey originated more than three weeks ago. On Jan. 3, t he Osaka's crew beached the vessel on the Brambles sandbar to prevent the ship from capsizing after it began listing shortly after leaving port. With the ship now secure, the big question is, "What will happen to all those luxury cars and SUVs, worth between $45 to $53 million?" Looking at the condition of the cars that have been driven off of the ship, they appear to be in better shape than expected. Some have emerged completely unharmed, while others have suffered some body damage. The cars are likely going to be crushed in a scrap yard. This has happened before. In 2006, the car carrier Cougar Ace — like the Hoegh Osaka — developed a severe list off of the coast of Alaska. On board were 4,700 brand-new Mazdas headed for American dealerships. According to Car and Driver, the ship's entire cargo of factory-fresh cars was crushed in scrap yards in the Pacific Northwest. The total cost to Mazda and its insurers: $103 million. We've reached out to Jaguar Land Rover for comment on the fate of its cars that were on the Osaka and will update you when we hear back from the company. In the meantime, here are some of the vehicles, with screenshots taken from a YouTube video: This Range Rover Evoque looks dealer-worthy. View gallery .

Is that coasting at 80 MPH!?!!

Ok then... let me be the first to say...

That is like the least busy railway track in Colombo ...

Ado what does my Alfa has got to do with putting gear in to N. ??? Lol

Ado, how often will you be stopping at a railway crossing? Really??? LOL. If you emulate Start- Stop in standard card in Colombo levels of traffic, you are looking at a very tired battery and a worn Starter motor in a very short time.. My advise is to the OP or any other monkey who wants to save gas but don't have the finances to purchase the required tech included vehicles, drive the car you have sensibly, keep tires inflated to correct pressures, keep filters clean, keep engine in tip top shape, change fluids according to schedule, plan your journeys, reduce unnecessary weight in the car. You can do so many little things that are more effective rather than being total whack job retard and throw the the car in to neutral whenever there is traffic.

If it is equipped... Yes... such as most of the hybrids. Not debating the functionality of the technology But it will be rather lame to emulate Hybrid levels of functionality in your daily pedal pusher, right? We are talking about the garden variety Tranny here.

I believe for Micro it is there to enhance their profile. Not profit. Being the Lambo agent in LK may have had it's perks. But we are hardly the market for such cars. We are a Merc/BMW and now Audi market for all luxury or high end marques.

BTW, since you are too much of an idiot to drive an Auto, here is how the rest of the world drive an Auto.... if you like I can attach a YouTube video also... Let me see if I can find a tutorial on how to take a dump... since you want to know how the rest of the world might be doing that too and if you're doing it right.

Awww... poor baby didnt like the way I responded??? Pookie wants a bulto? Its true... buggers like you destroy a perfectly working car to save a few rupees, then when the time comes to sell, you fool the poor unsuspecting buyer and sell him a damaged car. You are a typical thel hinganna... would sell your own mother if you can squeeze out a few more Kms per liter. Buy a bloody push bike machang and free wheel when you are tired. Besides, if you already agree with what is on that article, why the f**k did you waste time opening a thread??
