Who on earth will buy this for 14.4mn ? Besides it looks raped by some 'arawa mewa'. Literally 150% increase from the prices back in 2019. 

When the 2017/18 Premio goes for 20mil everyone thinks that you can make a major profit off these cars. "Make hay while the sun shines". This is becoming ridiculous, I dont know where it will end up at.

I was told that Insurance companies are trying to piggyback on this and are calling customers to increase the vehicle values so that they get an additional income off it. Problem is no one knows the correct value of a car in Sri Lanka, and it changes every week or so. Any thoughts on this?

Probably why my insurance guy had called me a couple of times  

I wonder how the valuation places operate now.

Never seen one of these before. Does that pop out of the glove box?

If you have an accident VIPeeing while driving, is that table is gonna be the one that hits the passenger's face? 😉

So Munich IAA Mobility show is happening and this caught my eye (I mean the video)

Wondering why they couldnt do something better rather than displaying some 70s effects.

 

Some cool concepts have been showcased.

Crazy accident today at Ratnapura. Looks like the container truck lost its brakes or simply being reckless. Note the Axio was hit from behind.

I believe the most likely scenario was that the brakes went out. The brake lights are on but the truck simply is not slowing down.  There seems to have been a sand/cement pit in the center so that might have slowed the truck down had he driven in to it but who knows...that might have not done anything but just hit more cars. Not sure if it was intensional or not but kudos to the driver for ditching the truck in to the drain and sacrificing themselves. Things could have been a lot worst...thankfully there was no one sitting in the back of the car and the truck did not drag the car over the bridge with it.

There is quite a big slope coming down from Pelmadulla side upto the bridge, so yes it could be a brake fault.

Porsche comes up with a Synthetic fuel plant, but they say that it will be more expensive than normal fuel. Not a tech person or someone savvy with science but it seems cool maybe we can ask them to put it up here in Sri Lanka

Ok this I needed to share here. When you dont know what you have and when you think so highly about your ride.

@iRage you got something on this? Know of a GTR that has this kind of a display key?

This was an awesome race last week and I was on the edge of the seat watching this, and must say that you dont see this in F1. Exciting stuff, was always wondering why Pecco never had the pace on race day when he has been so fast during practice and qualifying. Watch from 11minutes afterwards. 8 time world champ goes against the rookie, 7 overtakes but still the rookie persists.

Double checking is safer than sorry. Isn't it ?

I am okay with neutral...but what freaks me out in to doube checking is shifting into Reverse and 1st in 6MT. Especially when I have to park in a tight spot where I have to shift backwards and forwards many times .
