Why? Why not?

Why so crazy about cars? I've been asked that question quite a number of times. Very often I ask back why not? It's like how modern art people think that Picasso's stuff is beautiful. Me? I don't get Picasso at all. Cars. Now that's something much easier to understand. It's got to have the looks, power, torque, speed, acceleration, balance, control, madness, speed..oops! Did I already mention speed? My mistake. Hehe!

Just caught up with some reading today on the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. Yup! 10th in the series. Now, if you are like me and have seen a whole lot of movies this year, you'll find a whole lot of really bad sequels(mostly triquels actually!) this year. Disappointing is being too nice for those movies! But this one, the new Evo, is still the same monster that it was with the 1st series. Quick on it's tyres and bursting with confidence at its control. It is not a car of elegance, more like a car you can drive fast and cut corners like butter. It's meant to be driven hard and fast. Forget about interior aesthetics, noise free cabins, carpets and seats with matching colours. That's not what a guy wants in his fast car. He wants to hear the music of the revs. He wants his seats to hold him upright when he takes the corner. He wants just the basic buttons to get the car going coz he won't have anytime to do anything else besides driving. Hehe!

Anyways, aside from cars, I do on occasion watch football too. Like the one that happened this weekend which my team, Liverpool, lost. -,-""" Watched it with my current headstart members. Even had a Christmas dinner with them last week. Will post photo later, with their permission 1st. Hehe!! Anyways, it's good that we meet up for more than just our usual once a month meetings. Get to know and also encourage each other more. Let us also practice our oft forgotten skills of listening. Hehe!

Well, speaking of Christmas, it's just around the corner and this year I sorta feel like I'm in limboland on the present buying part. Haha!! At least that'll save me loads for this year! Haha!! Anyways, to all my fellow readers. Wishing you a blessed Christmas and wonderful New Year. And don't overstuff yourselves. Hohoho!!
