Message: <blockquote data-quote="Izso" data-source="post: 1064721703" data-attributes="member: 2429">Ok let me explain my situation.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Wife does not like to drive anything bigger than her Myvi. In fact she's only ever done it once with an Alza out of necessity and complained about how much of a hassle it was and difficult it was. And as stereotypical as this may sound, she admits it herself - she's not a good driver. Although she's never had any accidents (touch wood) she has never exceeded 90km/h even on a highway and on normal roads 60km/h to 80km/h is the max she'll go. Her friends have affectionately nick named her the "tortoise". And she is literally unable to parallel park her Myvi, give her a bigger car and she'll give up. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The Myvi is already fully paid for. But I have a sneaky feeling the timing chain is stretched hence the loss of power and sluggish feel. I've almost changed everything else in that hunk of garbage of a car. If that timing chain gives it's gonna cost RM3-4k but that's still cheaper than a new car to some extent. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Building the frankenstein to my specifications (and I'm bloody anal) is going to take too much money. I can't afford it especially with two growing kids (primary school) and a non-working wife (for now). I'd rather enjoy life with a nice car and accommodate my family doing so, than to struggle with a project car I enjoy driving sometimes when it decides to have a good day. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">As much as I hate to admit it, the Myvi FC is somewhat unbeatable so that car can't go until I make enough to cover fuel and maintenance costs for 4 cars (I have 2 Myvis, 1 innova and my own BMW to maintain). Daily-ing RON97 all day in a turbo car is just not going to work for me la long term. Unless I strike it rich somehow, then I'll definitely have a project car.</li> </ol>And interestingly I posted the car for sale in FB and in 1 day I'll be having 2 potential buyers viewing the car on Sunday. Jeez.. if only it were this easy to sell the Porsche.</blockquote>
