A bit of news that is slightly surprising. Subaru seems to have never officially sold cars in South Korea before this.

From what I heard from Koreans the import tax for foreign made cars is simply not justifiable. But I believe there are ppl there keen on buying Subaru's performance cars.

This is the correct way to support your local car-manufacturer. Unlike dumbass malaysians who doesnt impose strict import taxes for foreign-made cars and f*ck up their own Proton cars with an influx of cheapass china/korean cars.

When i was in Korea in December, the local tour guide said Samsung have started making and selling cars for 6 years in Korea and only after the 10 year then they can sell it overseas.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them.

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 5)

Introducing to you: Bo-taoshi.  The name means 'topple the pole', and that's exactly the name of the game. Except of course its never quite so simple.  You want teams? Oh, you get teams. 150 players, split into 75 offensive and 75 defensive - one holding your pole up, the other attacking another team to topple th

    Mycarforum visits Omoda

    Attendees to this latest Mycarforum hangout event with Omoda got up close to the E5 and Jaecoo J7 and got a few tips on driving an electric car in Malaysia. It may have been close to a month since we visited the Skoda Kodiaq, but our Mycarforum members clearly could not get enough of the opportunity to explore new cars. At least, that's what the turnout at the latest Mycarforum hangout suggested! This new hangout session saw more than 30 of our members heading down to the new Omoda sho

    Forget resolutions, just focus on starting fresh

    The start of a new year is always a happy time for me. Apart from gatherings and mini reunions, January is when I reflect on everything I've accomplished last year, while mentally noting the things I still need to work on. Resolutions, though, are not for me. While it's not wrong to list some and strive towards them like goals, I think making resolutions is not the optimal way for me to reach new milestones, because more often than not, they're declared 'in the moment'. Or worse, after you'
