For those that are living in Hong Kong, what is the general process of selling a vehicle privately? I asked Perplexity but not sure how accurate it is.
Parents might let go of their Model Y and the sales rep said they'll get a lot more $ selling privately instead of trading it in.

how does your bike get stolen though? you just ride your bike right onto the grass, park it next to you and there you go. at least thats what me and my dad did back in the days.

Was just watching some video of Yungblud gifting him a necklace backstage of the tribute show the other day sharing a moment with him, looked to be in very poor condition but came off as a very caring and loving soul in their exchange… likely knowing his days were numbered… RIP | |

Some sad news. RIP, Namo Amida Butsu, Tamiya Sensei.
BTW, he’s not the founder of Tamiya. That would be Yoshio Tamiya. Shunsaku is the son who basically started the plastic modeling division and grew the company to what it is now. I was at the Tamiya headquarters last October, the guy was simply amazing. Great visionary.

I hardly see any 911s in HK. The ones I see are also sub 997 ones as nobody there seems interested in paying the new Msrp.

Tesla has the highest deaths/miles driven of any car brand, followed by Kia, so no.
Part of that I’m sure has to do with the demographic and other factors, but you don’t get that stat by being the safest car.
There’s also other measures of makes a car shit beyond safety, like cost, reliability, maintenance costs, build quality, looks, enjoyment, etc.

The Plaid is insanely fucking fast and none of the tuning needed like a 9 second ICE engine.
No worries about getting some bad gas and blowing a motor. I admit the Plaid has ICE engines beat there because I have never heard of a Tesla owner racing their car and having the battery or motors explode. The Plaid I rode in went into protection mode after multiple holy-fucking-shit acceleration bursts.

Not sure that anyone posted about it, but Malcolm Jamal Warner passed away a couple of days ago. Accidental drowning, he was only 54.

I usually leave my place by Brentwood around 8:30, get down to English Bay by 9:30ish. Stand up on the road at Beach and watch them from there, leaving is pretty easy too since you're usually some of the first people out, end back home in about an hour as well.

If only we had a poster here able to clarify this.
