Facebook: Jack Lee “Why do you spend so much on a 16 years old car?” “What is the cents/km do you pay for the 2.8?” “How much do you spend on maintaining the car?” “You know, my road tax only cost me RM 60 a year.” I get asked these questions a lot when I bought a 1996 BMW 328i (E36).

If you love cars and is planning a trip to Japan, you should pay a visit to Toyota’s MegaWeb store in the Odaiba district of Tokyo. It’s a sprawling multi-storey brand experience centre. There’s also a heritage collection section where expert Toyota ‘Takumis’ (expert craftsmen) restores various classic cars, including non-Toyota models.

Here we have a Nissan GT-R, at a traffic light that has just turned green. You know where this is going, don't you? Driver of said GT-R then proceeds to launch the car at full throttle. Said GT-R then proceeds to suddenly snap sideways and on to the side of the road, almost taking out innocent motorcyclists in the process. So many factors could've caused this spin, like road surface or worn/cold tyres. Having said that, one can't help but feel that it's a bad idea to fully deploy close to 600 PS
