Chicks and Cars

Automobile in today’s society symbolizes power and status. Expensive driving machines are used to reflect on their achievements, aid in their profession such as meeting clients as well as a channel to spurge on with a pool of cash to spare. With the change in financing rules, owners can obtain a loan up to 10 years, which make more of these owners easier to obtain their dream car.

After all, all of us love striking and stunning objects. The ability to make head turns and the incessant attention you receive is desirable. It increases one’s self-esteem, pride, confidence when you sit on these four-wheelers. The list goes on, reasons to own one of these fast cars are apparent.

Obviously, in order to own one of these machines, one must work twice as hard. These machines come along with an expensive price tag which many Singaporeans will agree that it is perversely to pay for it. Then again, people are willing to pay for the enviable effect that comes along with these ultimate driving machines.

However, there’s a weakness to even the best driving machines in the world. The shortcoming of high performance cars is that the fuel consumption is higher, the insurance premium is higher, and it is more unreliable due to the sophisticated technology used. Such cars requires high maintenance work which means that you have to send in to the workshop more often in order to ensure that you vehicle runs smoothly.

With the vast number of brands and makes in the automobile industry, consumers are spoilt for choice. The alternative to these ultimate driving machines are no-frills transportation with a roof that is stagnant compared to those which can be folded and kept in seconds like magic. These vehicles are the most common on the road as it is affordable. It lacks the ability to turn heads round and make the person next to you drops his jaw. In simple words, no WOW effect!

Then again, even nicest plant on earth needs the smelliest (shit) object on earth as fertilizer. Despite the fact that they are unable to maneuver at astonishing speed, they have excellent reliability as the technology used does not require to be service that often compared to performance automobile. Their fuel consumption is also envy for many with the increasing oil prices. Resale value is also better in comparison with high performance cars because people with enough cash to fill a swimming pool would usually buy first hand cars.

The other obsession that men have is hot chicks. Perhaps it’s redundant to explain why a man goes for hot chicks, but before I go into illustrating my point, please note that all my points are ceteris paribus (Theory that keeps all factors constant). This meant that I’m not stereo-typing but making a generalization.

I wanted to state that most men think with their D**k initially, but I remember reading a theory somewhere about human motivation.(The book is called Think and Grow Rich) It states that the strongest motivating factor is sex and if you know how to use this force to apply to other objects, you can have immense achievement. I interpret this theory in simple terms such as if you have make a subject that you hate and you can treat it like something that turns you on, you will do well. Or maybe if a supermodel is willing to “do” with you if you can pass your calculus test, maybe even the weakest student will ace that test. Probably that’s what that theory is implying.

I have a very crude theory between regarding the correlation between chicks and cars because both hot chicks and cool cars have very good performance (If you know what I mean). If you have no idea what I’m referring to, I mean hot chicks looks great on photo or camera because they look beautiful. Besides excellent “performance” that these chicks provides, there’s also a desiring effect when your other half happens to be a hot chick. Likewise, the ability to turn heads round with a hot chick next to you is gratifying.

However, the drawback to this possession is that because of high demand, you have to constantly work hard to maintain serviceability. In simple words, the story does not end after you changed your friendster status to “IN A RELATIONSHIP” because such hot chicks are sought after and people will continue to chase after her. Therefore, you have to be good in order to keep those hands off her. Maintenance fee is also very high because you have to constantly ZHNG (modify) these objects in order for it to look good.

The alternative to hot chicks is cold chicks. (HAHA, I’m kidding!) Well, they are what we call the girl next door. These are the ones whom you don’t take a second look at and they tend to be introvert and spend less time grooming themselves.

Ultimately, which type of cars and chicks you chose are attached with costs that are not stated explicitly. Wants and Needs are diverse subjects that have to look into with circumspect. Suddenly it occurs to me that COE is just like marriage. If you are choosing a car based on the performance or the outlook and not your ability to finance it, ultimately you’ll regret your decision because new models changes every 3 years and even the latest model turned boring after a new model replaces it. Marriage wise, if you are only fond on the person based on her looks, chances is that after marriage, looks and size will change.

Men hope their wives would never change after marriage but they change, whereas Women hope their husband changes for the better after marriage but they never change.
