Man, after I finished SPM had to take the Intrakota Bus to college, took the putra and star LRT, and take the shuttle bus (which is an old Bas Mini) from STAR LRT to my home in Ampang. Sometimes car pool with my sis if she's heading to damansara. Lucky kids nowadays. I started 'owning' my rolla at the age of 21 . Itupun after my dad couldn't drive manual and the car not used on occasional basis, since it was considered as a 2nd car. Mind you, even i so call inherit the car, petrol, servicing, maintenance, road tax all my own money. luckily he cover the insurance...phew.

Today you say you want an AE101 corolla. 6 months later, you want a civic type r. After that, you want evo pulak. At that age, you tend to be rambang mata with cars. Anyway, if I were you with that 25K go and study la. Your still young. While your studying, work during semester breaks. There are a lot of jobs these days that requires you to work only a short period of time. Earn, save a portion and from there start your plan to own a car / bike / whatever suits you. Jobs and money are hard to come by these days.

25k for a used car? Not trying to discourage you but, even if you get a nice car at that price you have to consider the repairs, the maintenance and etc. Hell, you might be unlucky enough to get a lemon (not as in the fruit. go google the term).

Even at the age of 3x, I still drive my rolla. Considering the money you to fork out these days and my pay, and nak kawin next year, I just have to hold onto that idea.

Sigh, hati mau tukar kereta baru especially the Ford Ranger. Looks yummy and can impress my future father in law by filling up the back with kelapa sawit, or bringing back fruits from the dusun. (reminds me of a hilux I saw the other day at MRR2, penuh dgn rambutan, until a few of it dropped on the road). Luckily tak terbalik the hilux, if not a lot of people will be saving the rambutan first before saving the driver

P.S: Looks like a lot of you have taken the Intrakota bus before. Correct me if i'm wrong, if I recall, the Intrakota bus was the first bus to have an automatic transmission in KL. They had a long and short bus which look kinda modern at that time compared to the other busses. Everytime naik the hilly terrain before heading to damansara, the intrakota for sure will loose to the other busses that was using manual
