Times and Trends

What is the most influential automotive trend for you?
I love big rims and even bigger tires. Though I also love the slammed look, but my ride has to be functional, so its a no-no for me.
What was your most significant mod?
I'm a real softy, so I'd have to say my suspension was my most significant mod. It's damped nicely for touge and still comfortable enough to live with every day of the week. However, its approaching its limits and I might see another revise this year. *hint*hint*Chris (Fer)*
What's your highlight of 2009?
The definitive highlight for me would definitely be organizing the Northern Touge Race Day for Penangites to go have a blast. I'd like to thank our members from as far as KL for all your support and hope you had fun!

Which would be your car of the year 2009?
This may be hard to swallow, but for me, it would come from the Korean stables of Hyundai. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe just does it for me as the car of the year 2009. Looks awesome, and it runs a 4B11T longitudinally for some rear wheel induced euphoria!
Which would be your concept car of the year 2009?
I risk the sound of being cliche, but I love the Toyota FT86 concept. Just the thought of running a Toyota tuned performance chassis with a boxer under the hood turning the rear wheels just sends goosebumps up my back.

Do drop me your comments on these five questions. It's definitely something to discuss over TT ;)

End of Days?

As the year 2009 draws to a close, I've been finally catching up on some movies I'd missed and it all seems to tell of civilisation coming to an end with humanity desperately fighting to retain whatever we can salvage.

I've just watched Day After Tomorrow and 2012 in succession. I know, I'm REALLY slow to catch all these movies and I'd just found time after completing the Northern Touge Race Day and before starting to plan for the next event.

It's kinda sad to think that it'll all end with nature taking its toll after all humanity has been draining nature's resources at an extremely alarming rate of consumption. These events mentioned in the movies are somewhat affable if not grim to ponder, but do you think that we'll one day face extinction and will all of humanity's knowledge and technology be able to save us from the impending doom that will be cast upon us?

Or will we be claimed by the Dark Lord, no... not Voldemort, Beelzebub! From a religious standpoint, and from Arnold's (The Governator) movie End of Days, the Lord of Darkness himself will rise and wreak havoc on earth and all humanity for the sins we've committed.

How do you think it'll all end and what do you think we'll be able to do about it? Will we be claimed by nature in a torrent of molten rock and a wall of oceans bearing down on civilisation or will Beelzebub himself be summoned to (literally) raise hell on humanity?
What do you think?
