CAR PRICES

Ahhh...my favourite bitchin' subject. Why not? I'm gonna bitch on my first (ok, technically second) blog. Does anybody actually know how exspensive cars in Malaysia are? Ok, for example, a latest Toyota Camry would cost us about RM13x,xxx here where else in the US, it's about US$18,445. Ok, something is not right here. That's about RM 7 for every 1 US dollar if u make a straight ahead coversion. Silly isn't it when the currency exchange is at RM 3.70 to 1 USD. Is it just Toyota's? HELL NO!!! A Mazda RX-8 would cost us RM2XX,XXX compared to buying in the states for US$25,935. What? Somebody, please, make sense out of this cos' I just don't get it.

But then again, take a walk downtown KL and you'll probably notice all the new and flashy cars KLites' are driving. One too many times I've asked myself, where on earth do this people get their money from? Are this people just too happy to pay for overpriced goods? Do they enjoy servicing their loans for more than 5 years? Well, maybe I'm the only one who doesn't get it, but till I figure this one out, I'm gonna stick with me ol' rolla'.

Out.
