Introduction post...becareful on the roads

I have the privilege of co-authoring this blog, and I have few things on my mind for this blog.

It'll be random but I can voice out opinions and thoughts of different articles, items or just typical news...

Snow...some people may not experiance it...some do. I did, many many times. And if it looks like this beautiful picture, means you're really screwed.

But firstly...i'll go with the most basic things every American should know...since i'm in America and drivers around me don't know signal lights are standard on any car sold on American soil...

Why is not that most people here don't bother to use their signal? They only blip the signal after they have turned.


It's like looking into Lehman Brothers and AIG's CEOs after it's too late. USD 480 million for 1 person? God dammit, that's heck alot of money...and the AIG issue, our taxpayers money supposedly went on a 1 week vacation...approximately USD 440k was used...from the taxpayer-funded USD 85 billion used to keep them afloat...

Not that i make bad wishes upon those greedy people, who was blamed for the economy's downfall but i'm sure karma will not descriminate the wealthy, well, the rest of America wishes the same thing....because whatever they did, it's not mixing well with us.


They make millions off compensation for drilling the company to the ground, at the expense of alot of jobs and our money...my money, and the economy. They go away loaded, we struggle to pay bills here.
Whoever is leading the investigation, go ahead and punish those responsible...but who am I? Just a puny legal tax payer paying for other people's lavish lifestyles.

Their logic and state is just like Darth Vader filling up his water with a Brita jug

Now that winter is kicking in at full speed, first thing people should know about is tires.



No, your ultra uber sport tires for summers that cost 2 arms and 1 torso won't work in winter...why?

Simple...temperature goes down like the stock market overnight, freezes up and the tire compound in summer tires pretty much harden...mother nature wins...having those kinda of tires on an icy slope is like waiting to get kicked in the nuts by someone who told you you're gonna be kicked in the nuts hard...

So there you go, a car with AWD or 4WD on summer tires are catastrophic as well, 4 hockey pucks on ice don't show mercy to all electronic nannys your car has to offer...all-weather tires don't harden as much but still requires owners to be extra careful...grip is there, but it's as easy to lose control...

Best bet, winter tires...soft compound made for extreme low temeperatures....most vehicles with winter tires will laugh at Hummers stranded with their blinged-out 22" rimz yo...

Of course i couldn't go that route due to financial strain...maybe next winter...
I survived with my Pirelli Pzero Nero all seasons...they're not the best, but does the job just fine as long as I know the car's limits.

Enough Mazdaspeed6s faced their demise with stock summer tires last winter...needless to say the forums were filled with haters...but the problem is with the equipment, not the car.

In places that don't have climate change, any tires would do perhaps...which is a huge plus.

It's one of thoes times where speeding kills, cause you can't beat mother nature.

A fitting song for my first post...yes, the dude is a prune but the tune is good



Some partial lyric i found:

wa chia ah si kuey so si zai ho tit toh
wu lang ai speeding

wu lang jit chiu hua chia jit chiu ka girlfriend po
wu lang kua char bor eh long tio lao ar po
ang teng ci tin kua bei chin cho chiong guay jiu chut chia ho
lim jiu hua chio eh long tio lang xi li yi xim eh tua cho
