My trip last year in Shanghai for 2 weeks, already met 3 time at early night police conducting road block for breath test.

That's why now friends there will get a driver if they want to drink.

Hard to find this service here when TP not doing its job

I thought fuel will evaporate without much visible residue.... and also for sure when the fuel injectors are not getting enough pressure from the fuel line, there will be CEL on the dash?

I have seen engine oil leaks which are more visible (those oily dark spots at parking lots)  and more likely to be ignored as it will not light up the dash (although you just need to keep top up the engine oil more frequently in between servicing)

both my cars didn't trigger CEL, maybe because I caught them early, 

in the beginning, they leak during cold start and seal itself after engine warm up

yes, the leaked petrol will evaporate fast, got to catch it fast otherwise it leave no traces

this patch disappear 10s after I took the photo and the engine bay was cold

by the time you reach workshop, they will tell you every is ok, no leak leh

Early evening... 9pm+

Shanghai street and road traffic behavior are getting better than us already.. we are in the reverse gear... 

And definitely much much better than NYC..

Joel Kwok's BMW 3 series went up in flames at traffic junction.  Bought brand new 1.5 years ago from PML. Everything is original and stock, no modifications made, servicing done at PML. He is unhappy about it

1.5year, if it is true that serviced by pml and it is stock, wouldn't  pml owe him an explanation and compensation ?

I hear the fellow shouting "sir, behind still got fire", and "$8 car wash", I am like KNN WTF.  These are professionally trained fire fighters, and do you really think us, common folks who have never gone through a day of fire fighting training know better than them. 

They got to know what kind of water pressure to use on what kind of fire situations is the most suitable. 

KNN no wonder talk is free. [laugh][laugh][laugh]
