Remote start.
Bad.
Bad, bad, bad.
Call it a feature. I’d like to call it – Tool of Destruction. Like many before today, the remote start feature bundled with some car alarm systems, has caused collateral damage.
My race partner Stan had just called me to inform me that my car, who has been with him since last week (for the R3TAC 2dot6 autocross in Danga Bay which I missed), has slammed into a wall. Stan, apparently remote started the car to ‘warm it up’ while he took the trash out. He then, realised of course, that he had parked it in gear, hence the loud ‘crash’.
Swell.
I am completely speechless. For one, I almost never use the feature due to Captor remote which has a very short range, therefore rendering the remote start feature useless. And number two, I NEVER park the car in gear. That’s so bloody last century.
Needless to say, I’m pretty darn pissed. Sigh.

Piss on him then, and drown him in pee.
Poor car
*stan drowns in Vernon’s pee*
still feels terrible.
It aint bad, but it aint nice either.
*sigh* T_T
Vernon, it’s time to change your nickname from “Crash” to something else lah. Why did u choose such negative nickname in the first place lah?
why he park in gear at the first place?
Crash was a nickname I adopted long before I got involved in motorsports.
Funny thing about my car is that it gets hurt when its stationery, or when I’m not with it, or driving it.
Almost all funny incidents including crashes, scratches and bumps occurred when I was not around.
I mean, I’ve been to many, many autocrosses and except that once when I ran of Turn 7 and 8 at Sepang circuit, it has never *touch wood* crashed in any way, not at 40km/h, not at 220km/h.
Why do people park in gear? I don’t bloody know. It’s the 21st century. Handbrakes actually work. And things like this they thought us in defensive driving class to ‘not’ do. Things like this get people killed or seriously hurt.
Bleh.
ho shet man… im real sry to hear bout ur car.. is the damage serious? u still goin R3TTT this thurs? im sure stan learnt his lesson… punish him, ask him for 70% discount. or sth.. haha
Aw. My condolences.
owh mah gawd! how could you kill his car! that’s a crime stan!
and the name Crash, well, he’s not the only one using it. Funny thing is, we both used the same nickname without realizing hahaa… god bless MIRC.
since his mah big brotha, i changed mine hoho.
But regardless, he’s not the one that crashed it anyhow. *hint*hint*
Free make over for the car! courtesey of mr.Stan.

Yo, bro. So sorry to hear about your car. Sux big time, but also time to move on. Get even, get healed - you and car and let May 2006 bring new challenges and blessings.
Bro,
Sorry to hear bout the mishap. How’s the damage?
it’s not that bad la guys!
painted cracked on the bumper, scratches on the bumper too.

Yeah, it’s all healed now, except the mysterious broken number plate. Have put it all behind, wasn’t that bad in the first place.
I just realised how much I actually missed the car when I drove it after more than a week.
I am reunited with my baby, once again. Absolute bliss! Did I hear Sepang calling?
Vernon-chan so happy he forgot his sprained ankle!
LOL
good to know..

PS: i’ll get a another number plate.. lightweight!
Carbon number plate? heh heh..
glad to hear ur car is better.. ur foot better too?
scary la wei cf number plate. scared ppl will just kick it off and run away with it…
yo dude, sorry to hear bout your car. maybe is feng-shui problem la, legs, cars and all that shit. keep ur eyes open man, take care!
I dunno about feng shui man, and I doubt I wanna contribute to the overflowing Lillian Too fund.
Everything is fine now. Ankle is recovering though I won’t see any ball action for the next 2 weeks at least.
