Please fellas,lets leave Yvonne Foong out of the argument no matter how valid or invalid one’s opinions may be.She’s got her own cross to bear and lets be glad she has achieved her target thru’ her own endeavours.
Pete ,are you taking your driving lessons in KL or Penang? I got my licence late in life after the home govt. refused to drive me around one day.Used to love doing emergency braking-scared the instructor s***less! Thank God for life’s little pleasures! Happy driving dude and may the force be with you.

Peter:
Most probably, I will be sitting for the tests in KL. By the way things are going, I may not be driving come 2007. The sticky part is getting the JPJ approval for the modifications.

Hey,whats it to you if Wuan decides to get a car for Pete.Are you being forced to cough out any “moolah”,are you simply jealous or did Wuan confide in you that she’s been held ransom and tortured on the rack? Cut the guy some slack man as we are outsiders looking inside not knowing the full picture.It could be Pete has to give a backrub and foot massage to Wuan everyday for the rest of his life or something like that!
Whatever ,it is a matter between the 2 of them and from what I can see its something called LOVE and knowing women, I would definitely say that Wuan would have made the final decision on which car to get, not Pete!Am I right Pete?!! My wife does anyway!Drats.

Dear geez,

Since you were asking for it, so yes, I am going to hammer you. But not for your unkind comment. It’s for your naive ness and stupidity. You are just making up your own assumption that Peter is not earning his own money. From where did you get that information that he is eating slipper rice? Speaking without thinking and any substantial proof. Also you made the assumption that Peter is burdening Wuan by making her take up the loan. How do you know that he won’t share that burden? Who are you? Peter’s good friend? A worm in his stomach? You have some surveillance in his house or something? Geez as your nickname is rather suitable.

I can stoop as low as you to take pot shots at others without knowing the situation properly. In fact I will (so sue me). Yvonne Foong an inspiration? My dog gives me more inspiration. I guess you are one of those that bought those Hope4youtogivememoremoney T-shirts. To me she is just a selfist scam. If you must talk bout Peter commenting the car because of his preference, then I must say this… She could’ve chosen a cheaper option to have her surgery, but no, she wants us to give her more money because she thinks she deserves better. That’s just bullshit.

What a burden for a lil lady. If you’re gonna complain about the kinda car you’re gonna get for like free, How ’bout you earn your own moolah to buy that expensive but ‘hideous’ car that even many able-bodied cannot afford? If you need inspiration, Look at yvonne foong. She’s got guts, courage and most of all, pride! And she’s only what age? Here you are, eating slipper rice and complaining ’bout the car not being ideal nuff.. GeeZz.. Yeah, so hammer me for such unkind comments..

Peter:
Just because you read my blog does not mean you know everything about me. How I acquire the car is none of your business. I am not getting it for free, that is for sure. I do not need inspiration, thank you. I am not even asking for charity to help me get the car. And you have no right to come here and insult me when you do not even have half the facts. By the way, the correct term is “non-disabled.” Being physically impaired does not mean we are not able-bodied.

BTW Pete, you did mention in your previous posts that the cost of car ownership is out of your means for the present time including the conversion and new wheelchair.Did you get lucky at the turf club?!! Sorry just cofused, not meaning to pry.

Peter:
If I was lucky at the turf club, imagine how much I needed to wager to win enough for a Honda City. Risky business there. As I do not have an income to qualify for a car loan, guess who took up the burden so that I can drive!

I would have thought an estate car would be ideal for you.Lots of space in the back.Yes, you pay for what you get.Local cars are pretty OK esp. the peroduas as they’re daihatsus essentially.The protons are good value except they have quality issues.I doubt improving QC would cost that much more.I have driven protons where the roof padding would drop out after a while and the bodywork would rattle!

Hi Peter
Great to hear about your new project of getting mobile!
So, when can I get a lift from you?
Keep up the spirit man… God will shower you with abundant graces and your car will definitely be put to great use for HIS cause!
See you in Penang!

Peter:
Before I can give you a lift, I need to get my driving license first.

When you compare a Waja with a City ,you are comparing 2 cars with a price difference of nearly RM20k. It is therefore not fair to talk about the Waja’s “filmsy set-up and ridiculously low resale value”. I know quite a lot of people who are quite happy with their Waja’s, not only because they can’t afford the City but also because they feel that there are quite a lot of things they can do with the RM20k. It is all a matter of priority.

Peter:
Someone actually did the maths with me and showed that getting a Waja and a City will cost almost the same when all factors are taken into consideration.
