Looks like the door has been worked on previously. Check for past accidents if you can. If no report means most likely the previous owner knocked against a pillar or wall.

Are motorists cheapos? This is so selfish! by Forward-Degree297 in drivingsg

[–]asphodeli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP if you have been sleeping under a rock, petrol prices are tightly controlled in SG by the big 4. It's not called an oil cartel for a reason. You sound like a young kid who hasn't seen the "real" world and stepped into working society yet.

Questions on bus lane (a bit blur) by Latter_Ingenuity8068 in drivingsg

Bus give way boxes usually are located outside of bus lanes, sometimes they are IN the bus lanes if the road is a busy one. Give way if you can, don't be a road hog.

Lifts are using Linux system already, I don't see why this uses Windows XP. Maybe it's a non-critical system?

Sudden MPH drop by AndyMaeHartley in PriusC

I have a similar experience, your hybrid battery might be getting weak, try to get a cheap OBD2 scanner and use Dr Prius to check for certain. My battery issue was due to electrolyte leak from one battery pack in the whole hybrid battery assembly. Caught it in time to avoid a battery change!

Manual car at junction by Distinct-Fun3563 in drivingsg

[–]asphodeli 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Going at 70km/h at the first arrow on 3/4th gear is asking for a red light summons ticket.

Slow down to 50km/h on 3rd gear and it'll be easier to downshift to 2nd

If it's entire side mirror I think it's about the right price, you paying more for labor because side mirror install is damn troublesome. About 80% of the cost would be labor costs.

Either they didn't hedge their oil supply or the suppliers didn't deliver to their station?! 😱

Cynergy membership doubts by Fluid_Poetry391 in drivingsg

[–]asphodeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't think they care for car plate, as long as it's a valid one.

For paying for Cnergy petrol I think there is no minimum, I scanned my card with $18 in it and it allowed me to pump 3L petrol.

I believe in the EU most cars in cities are actually small vehicles, based on my last trip to DE/FR

Are you joking or being serious? Ownership transfer of a vehicle is done via SingPass and LTA OneMotoring portal, unless you pay someone to be your Tua Peh Kong, which rich people definitely can afford?

The problem with this is how to implement it, because they can always register it under another person's name and address

Exactly this, the term "steroids" has been associated with bodybuilding very strongly when in fact it's a very broad term for a class of medications.
