#1 Manaf's big red car
Manaf, was my first friend - I guess. He was our neighbour's son, when I was 0 - 3 years old. And he had this big red toy car that you could actually sit in and drive. I used to get in it, and push him off and drive it. I loved that car. And perhaps that's the only memory I have of those days. Manaf was such a sweetheart. He always shared his car. Never fought with me. But im the devil!
#2 Hot Wheels
2 borthers and their car collections - great inspiration. I had a doll house when I was small. But I loved the cars parked outside it, more than the dolls inside. Had my own collection of 6 really cool looking Hot Wheels. Even had a launcher and 2 big RC car racing sets - with the entire track and all. Then as I grew, I had other car models, to scale, where you could open the doors and bonnet. Also had an Elf 1 RC car - silver. I still have some of them. Next on list: Bumblebee (Chevrolet Camaro). Age no bar, to have a cool toy car.
#3 Mitsubishi Lancer GLX (1990 - manual)
Our car during my childhood. Thats the most comfy car we've owned. Maroon colour - I like it. It had a pull out arm rest and the best part - you could fold the back seat from inside and reach out to the boot. So we could smuggle in and start munching on the biscuits before we reached home. It's posed for a lot of my childhood pics. Never had that kind of an attachment towards any car after that. Wish we never sold it.
#4 Lexus ES350 (2009)
I first saw it at the round about, on my way to school, and it was love at first sight. What a classy car. Couldn't take my eyes off it. Executive look, stylish body - I was so sure that's one car I wanted to have. In 2013 they launched a new model, which sucks. So i'm still looking out for a second hand 2009 model ES 350. I could settle for an RX350 too - maybe.
#5 Peugeot 206cc (2008)
My so-called first car; my baby (and Simon's too). I wanted a beetle for my first car - Herbie love! But this was much more - a black, convertible coupe. Small, efficient, cute, stylish and of course - black. Dad's gift for my 21st b'day. 21, legal, without a driver's license. Dad was sure I would get it in my first attempt. Which I didn't. Mom still tells dad that it was as if he had bought me a toy that I liked. I liked it; I said I wanted it; and I had it - oh yeah, I'm the princess! Loved showing off the convertible everytime my bro came to pick me from uni. Alas! They sold it off before I even got a chance to get behind the wheel.
#6 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 (2013)
Again, love at first sight! Not just with the car, but also with the lady in the car. Malini.... my crush.... I'm not interested in women, but she's a special case. At first I didn't even notice it was a lady driving. Dont' know if that car made her look more sexy or if she complimented the car. But that was classy - chic! Missed my peugeot even more.
#7 Nissan Sunny (2013)
Finally, my own car. This time I had to wait for about 6 months after I got my license. And another 8 months to get home license. My first car on road. Couple of scratches, a slight dent at the back, crazy driving experiments, late night sneaking out - a lot of secrets between me and her. This one has a pull out arm rest too. I love my car! :)
#8 Maserati GranTurismo Sport (2008 with custom changes)
Just saw it for about 5 mins, parked in front of me. As if I was destined to see it. What a car! What a design! It looked more like a sculpture than a car. As if it was moulded as a single piece from a single sheet of metal. That too it looked purple in night light. Pure beauty and nothing else. What broke my heart? - a girl, who seems to be younger than me, was driving it. I WANT THAT! Yup, it was so sexy, that it got me to cheat on my Sunny and also stop fantasizing about that ES350. :P
#9 Skoda Laura (2015)
Stud's new car. He got bored of his monotonous life of work, kickboxing, swimming, long drives and random travelling. So to add some life to his already lively living, he bought a new car with his friends. Then he went on to upgrade it for better performance - got the tires changed and stuff. "The car flies", he says. Ya I know, my otherhalf is as awesome and crazy as I am!! Nice car by the way. Its black too :)
#10 Audi R8
The one car, I might even agree to marry a guy for. So ya, you want me to say yes? Throw away that solitaire ring and try getting on your knees with the car keys! ;) *psst.... dont give my mom that idea*
