Would You Buy a Car Online?

Yesterday, I helped someone order a wreath to be delivered the very day. These days, such things can easily be executed, either through a phone-call or through the click of a mouse. How times have changed. Airline-ticketing, booking tickets for movies, settling bills, general shopping - all easily transacted without one leaving the home, which reminds me, I need to check up on a car insurance online quote. By the way, would anyone buy a brand, new car online? Perhaps not. We would want to test-drive it, touch it, feel it, won't we?

i think many rich people place orders for expensive exotic cars without even test-driving it before.

Yeah, you are right, MB. I know someone whose dad booked a Benz to be picked up in London for the Dakkar rally - to celebrate his graduation. He and his dad went on that rally before he came back to Malaysia.

That kid sounds like some spoilt brat! Ordinary folks like us celebrate our graduation in simple ways..in fact I think a dinner would suffice.

MBL, it so happens he and his dad enjoy such activities and the timing was just perfect.
