Confusedboi Supercharged June 19, 2022 Share June 19, 2022 (edited) there is a way to save some money for your car, change to budget tyres like tourador or rydanz instead of more pricey premium tires from Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli etc Dont shoot me ah, just saying it might work for some people excluding those driving powerful, modded cars, enthusiasts etc provided you dont push your hard car hard and you drive normally on our congested roads😁 Other ways to save money on car related expenses, Drag your service interval from 6 months to 8-9 months, drive very slowly and feather the throttle so you use less gas but dont end up hogging the road 😁 Ignore I mean delay cough cough paying road tax renewal, parking fines, speeding summons etc since nobody enforces 😶 Pump petrol at night when it is cooler and shake shake the car to fill up more. Last resort sell car and go back to bus mrt walk, but that is akin to drug addict going through cold turkey treatment😰😭 Edited June 19, 2022 by Confusedboi 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before earning goes up, they already scramble up the lifestyle. monthly only $20k, want to buy $50k Rolex and $100k patek. 🤦🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
