toyota oh toyota…

Toyota is one of the biggest car producers in the world… and it has been the leader for many years. But Toyota is facing huge problem since a couple of years…

Toyota is the only Japanese car I like… and I support their F1 team together with Mercedes F1… but unfortunately their F1 team will not be racing this year… same with few other teams which were hit by the world financial meltdown last year.

For the past two years, Toyota has been recalling its vehicles… and it has recalled millions already. They are top in sales but they are also top in recall!!!

But almost all the recalled vehicles are with Toyota US!!! Not here in Malaysia.

Last year they were having problem with floor mat which will slip and cause major safety on the driver’s handling. Now they are having safety issues on the gas pedal… and recently there is a possibility safety issue on the brake system!!! But not all models are affected… only some…

If you are owning any of the US Toyota vehicles which has been identified as having safety issues, I think if you need term life insurance or do not have any right now, you better get it now… else you just have to keep your Toyota in the garage or sell it off…

If Toyota keeps on recalling their vehicles, I’m scared they will vanish from the business very soon… I hope they can improve their safety standard or fix whatever problem they are having in the production line… I hope it is not caused by design flaw because Toyota has one of the best designs… hopefully it’s just caused by bad materials…

RV

Is there any demand for motor home here?.. I guess with the good road network and a wide state, it should be fine… if I can get one motor home, I would like to use it not only for vacation or travelling but during my official outstation works too

Motor home is also called RV… short for Recreational Vehicle.

With RV, I don’t have to worry about accommodation… all I have to worry are water and electric supply… but I don’t think that as big problem, I’m sure it’s not hard to get those.

But how much is rv cost?… any financing company here ready and willing to provide rv financing?…

If rv is affordable and rv finance is available, I would like the own this rv!!!

Or maybe this one…

Illegal Headlamp

Did you know that it is illegal to modify your vehicle headlamp?

Yes, it is illegal to modify your headlamp according to the Road Transport Department. Even installing a non-compliance hid kits on your car is considered illegal.

It is very irritating when in-coming cars in front of you are using the super glaring white color beam on their cars… it is almost like the projector’s beam… it can blind anyone temporary… and it can cause accident too.

Yesterday, while going home after the GI Joe – The Rise of Cobra movie around 11.30pm, there was a road-block by the Road Transport Department near my home. I hope they are not only looking for those driving without license but to catch those using illegal headlamp system…
