silly things one thinks about when there's too much time on hand [installment 3]

welcome to the third installment of my silly, nonsensical write-ups.. today's entry wasn't exactly thought up when i had nothing to do but rather, just a sudden urge to put something down on this blog space..

well, let's see, today's topic has to be written with much research.. but unfortunately, i have absolutely minimal interest towards doing this research.. perhaps in the very near future, if the day deems it fit to be done.. so let's talk about, what get the guys so excited about.. ie. cars!!

i know exactly what you all out there are thinking about.. and yes, that could possibly be one of the many things that guys do get really excited about.. i mean, look at the many hypothesis and pictures drawn up of, what the possible sectional view of a guy's brain will look like.. but there are definitely the high cost, latest technological tools and gadgets that get these bunch of ppl excited too.. especially in the world of automation on the roads..

all the talks about.. 'oh, check out that car there.. man, just look at how high the fuel consumption will be and all..' or 'look at that baby there man, wonderful colour and model.. and man, there it goes at the traffic junction.. man, i wonder what's the horsepower of that baby man..' or 'man, check that exhaust out.. and hear the sounds of the engine..'

perhaps, these things which the species, supposedly from venus, will take a slightly longer time to understand or perhaps will express negative interest in it and rather focus more energy on sales of tangible items.. well, women do love cars but they just view it more as a convenience and necessity, than 'my other half'.. or the easy way out, is to get ppl to chauffeur them around.. convenience brought up to a greater level.. after all, the guys are always saying that, women are the worse drivers on the road, so might as well dudes, chauffeur the girls ard and save all the driving 'hazards' of meeting unfriendly female drivers and then go ard complaining your guts out about that driver you met, perhaps a mth ago..

after all the talks about the feel, the speed and the outlook of the car, the next item on the agenda will be the maintenance.. it's important to make sure that there's friendly after-sales services.. preferably with many warranties thrown in.. but do read the fine prints.. they ain't fine for no reason..

despite having absolutely no head knowledge about anything about the features of the different models available in the market, i already do know which car i will want as my first car.. well, but much has to depend on the million-dollar question: when in the world will i take my driving lessons.. and the billion-dollar question will be: how long will it take for me to attain the acceptable financial status, before splurging it all on a brand new baby..

so till that day comes, let me just start getting myself educated about the world of automation on the road.. lest there comes a day, when i do get to drive on a autobahn..
