Of Licenses and Cars (Another of those Part series, Part 1)

Disclaimer: Please don't take this as I'm showing off or what, seriously.

"I got so frustrated with doing such an easy thing I almost didn't do it!"
    - Brother about doing the 3 point turn

With that, my brother can finally drive HIMSELF. No more picking him up at 6pm at a place 30 minutes away, on my holiday. No more driving him to Serriamas because his friend has a party and my parents are glued to the TV, watching tennis. Still need to wait till 6pm every Monday, but he can damn well drive ME.

Okay, so the thing is sadly, the Savvy, (or Joanna) the little red car which I been having for the past 2 years, which passenger seat has been filled with many bottoms (Since I'm the one usually driving) will be going in about 6 months to a year. This time, the only restrictions in the "new" car would be that it has to be a used car, and also budget. The budget has increased from around RM28k (Which was a bargain, given that a new Savvy of my specs costs Rm42k, and that my car had only clocked in 60KM when it was purchased!) to RM55-65K, and again, some of the money is coming out from my own pocket. (Don't ask) There will be no more restrictions on HORSEPOWER LIKE LAST TIME (My dad thought that the first thing I would do is race) and I don't think that it must be a hatchback. Given that all my passengers have survived with all body parts intact every single time, (Although mentally, some may not, given my mood that day) and that I've only been in a minor accident with a stationary car and that was reversing out and was embarrassing, I must say that my driving is fine now.

Okay, step 1: List down ALL cars which satisfy conditions.

Old Mercedes Benz
Ford Focus
Old Nissans
FTO

SHIT THERE ARE SO MANY.

Have to go look around than, and come back with a refined report.
