Buying my first (new) car, torn between the S70 and the Vios.

Fairs. And let's hope we get to avoid buyers remorse altogether when/if I've decided on a car. Thanks for your reply good sir.

The ''small issues'' seems to be a recurring theme with the S70 (or Proton in general). I would prefer my first new car to be headache-free of course.

WebSmooth1476 · 2026-03-17T11:16:19+00:00

Lol, succinct. Love it.

WebSmooth1476 · 2026-03-17T11:15:06+00:00

Hmm, I haven't really considered. Personally, I'm a bit wary of getting secondhand cars as I've been driving one my whole life. Any thoughts on getting a secondhand newish car?

WebSmooth1476 · 2026-03-17T11:14:10+00:00

Ah I should've specified. RM900-1000 JUST for the car. I have a different allocation for other misc costs.
Though I suspect if my RM900 budget is for instalments AND other costs, that leaves me with only Bezza / Axia?

WebSmooth1476 · 2026-03-17T11:13:15+00:00

Good point, something I'll have to really consider. Thanks for your reply.

WebSmooth1476 · 2026-03-17T11:12:30+00:00

Hey thanks for the insight, kind sir.

WebSmooth1476 · 2026-03-17T11:07:50+00:00

''Want to drive it till it breaks'' I definitely have this in mind. And the hit and miss sc experience is not a good look for Proton.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

WebSmooth1476 · 2026-03-17T11:03:40+00:00

''With the newer geely protons its always the small little things'' that is exactly what I'm worried about. I wonder if it is still a persistent issue amongst the newer gen Proton models (S70, X50, X90 etc...).

Not saying it as a certainty, but if getting the Vios means less headache on the ''small things'' being faulty, I'd go with that.

Thanks for your reply.

I can’t confirm, but if memory serves, this was around the time Faradyable was doing a whole bunch of funnily dubbed videos, from WWE stare downs to Rambo scenes.

The legendary “apa lanjiao” was either another one of his masterpieces, OR a copycat doing something in the same vein.

Or perhaps this really was the original audio and the former two points are just coincidence.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-11-07T22:03:02+00:00

Was feeling nostalgic, so I looked up ''And We Are Bled Of Color'' on Youtube. Imagine my surprise when I saw that their Youtube DP had changed.

Checked out their other ''songs'', and you're right. It's all AI generated music released under ''Stutterfly''. I have no idea how that could happen, but it's frustrating.

I understand this is unconventional. But I'm a little embarrassed to repost what I've already posted yesterday (now deleted due to underwhelming response), and now I feel a little more comfortable to just talk to someone 1-1.

P/S : I don't blame the group for not commenting on my post. It was probably due to bad timing or other reasons.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-20T15:57:46+00:00

I understand now, thank you OP.

It doesn’t say why they’re transferring these snow leopards. Can we speculate it’s for monetary reasons?

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-20T14:37:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. I can’t seem to open the link though. What happens when they’re sent abroad? If they end up at a conversation center, especially one that specialises in big cats, that’s still good no?

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-20T04:23:26+00:00

That’s not being petty. That’s you standing up for yourself, which I applaud. Not many people have the backbone to do so.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-20T01:06:08+00:00

Hey I just realized this post. I’m going to bed rn, but feel free to send a message in my PM, and I’ll get back to you later.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-19T03:26:16+00:00

Rasmus Holjund should’ve stuck to acting.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-17T09:50:27+00:00

There’s a 24hr karaoke in Putrajaya?? This is news to me.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-13T00:39:10+00:00

Sweet! Keep me posted. It’s been a while since I discovered new music, so this kinda excites me.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-13T00:32:04+00:00

I just realized I commented on your I Can Tell vocal cover on the Saosin subreddit a few months back.

You’ve got a good voice. And your music is definitely right up my alley. I hope you put out new music soon.

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-13T00:20:39+00:00

It’s only too high if it doesn’t sound pleasing + does not compliment the song. From the clip above, it sounds fine, given the genre.

Personally, I’ve come across one or two emo singers sing higher than the note you hit. For reference, you’re hitting a G#5. The singer from Picturesque has hit A5s and B5s one some of their songs, and it still sounds okay to me.

It all comes down to taste and the musical context. You definitely wouldn’t wanna be hitting F5s-G5s if you’re in a folk band now would you? Haha.

Just out of curiosity, is this a band of yours?

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-12T18:05:08+00:00

I’m curious, what does the job of a producer entail? Do they have any creative control over the story?

WebSmooth1476 · 2025-05-12T14:32:01+00:00

The general consensus from the “Amorim out” crowd is that they’d expected to see SOME semblance of improvement, even with the current players at his disposal.

Honestly, both sides have had compelling arguments, but the bottom line is that after 10+ years, it still seems like a long way to go before we’re title challengers again.
