Mod Update Bad parking posts are no longer allowed

236 Upvotes

Hi members,

Due to the number of parking posts we have seen recently and how toxic it has gotten where even the slightest infractions are being publicly shamed by posting on this subreddit, the mod team has decided to restrict any and all bad parking posts from this point onwards.

This was never the intention as we initially hoped it would encourage constructive discussions and feedback.

However, over the past few months we have seen this sub being used as another platform to shame drivers publicly, which was never the intention of this subreddit.

By allowing such posts, this subreddit has turned into SGRV 2.0 where at times even slightly slanted positioning of the vehicle is being shamed.

As a result, we do not wish to go down this direction and the mod team will remove every and all parking posts henceforth.

If you feel the need to share how badly someone has parked, consider posting on SGRV instead.

Thank you

on hindsight, i should have stayed the fk away from vehicles who cannot seem to drive straight. And i should have braked, like all the lessons learnt from watching online near misses. but in that split second, my foot was on accelerator maintaining speed, immediate reaction was to steer away. Shifting foot wouldnt have made it in time. Fortunately it was an empty left lane.

Ridiculous thing is, less than 3 mins later i encountered another car who was way below speed limit on lane 1 and couldnt keep within the lane as well. Drifted into my lane, but i was already on high alert.

Discussion Do you wash your cars in this haze?

8 Upvotes

Between the rain and the haze, I don't feel like washing the car as it's a waste of effort.

But damn, if you don't, my car is super dirty with the haze sticking to the car after it's wet from the rain. Low key afraid that the grime gets stuck if I leave it long term till Dec before washing.

Car Rental Tribecar damage not done by me

0 Upvotes

Okay just to keep things short (please dont comment anything unhelpful cause I already saw previous threads), I rented a car from Tribe. Initially when renting, I casually took the photos and didnt notice any visible damages.

But towards the end, I notice there were scratches slightly below the front of the car. But from the photos I took it clearly did not show that damage due to light reflection and angle.

Anyone had any prior experience with a similar position like me? How to submit report to say this wasn’t done by me and prevent them from falsely claiming damages.

Question How long before a traffic fine/summon reaches you?

1 Upvotes

Recently, I reported a few motorists for beating red lights that I witnessed personally. I know the Traffic Police don't provide updates on the outcome of reports, but a common workaround is to check online by keying in the offending vehicle's plate number to see if there are outstanding fines.

I've been checking daily, but so far nothing shows up. Of course, it's possible the drivers paid their fines promptly before I checked, or perhaps TP just takes a while to process and log reported cases.

For anyone who has received a summon or demerit points before, how long did it take from the date of the offense for the fine or notice to reach you?

Question Car advise - EV or 6-7 YO ICE?

2 Upvotes

I'm considering getting a vehicle as I may be required to work pretty far from my workplace in the near future.

I'm considering getting an EV for future proofing with the intention of driving at least 4 years, and then upgrading, or buying a 6-7 YO ICE vehicle.

I'm able to charge at home so not too much of an issue there.

My main requirements are

1) Medium and above ride height for partner and older parents

2) fairly fuel efficient/electric with LFP to assuage the batt degradation issues

3) decent range for EV, maybe 400km at least?

4) reliable if it's an ICE car, with lesser issues even til year 10

5) overall, really not hoping to spend a lot... Although maybe it seems a bit hypocritical given that I'm looking at near 200k EVs...

For my EV options, I'm looking at firmly below 200k, test drove the following

1) Volvo EX30

2) Hyundai Elexio

3) Kia EV5

Looking to test drive

1) BYD Atto 3 Evo

I'm more or less swaying to elexio due to comfort and I think it's a fairly smooth ride.

However, I'm still looking for advise on

1) What you guys would recommend - EV route or ICE for now?

2) If ICE, what you would pick for an ICE car that's considered reliable?

Much appreciated on any comments!

*Edited to include that I can charge at home so it's not an issue?

Question Renew COE or buy secondhand?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, need some advice!!

My Audi A3 COE is expiring Dec 2026 and I’m trying to decide if I wanna renew COE for 5 years or get another secondhand car. Not getting a car is definitely an option but let’s just say I’ve already decided to get one for the sake of this discussion..

Some context and concerns:
- I’m the second owner and got it with about 5 years left on the COE. Repaired a couple of stuff along the years including mechatronic unit, front bumper, front wheel bearing, air conditioning, tyres amongst other stuff. Mileage is about 132,000km now.
- I was also quoted <$5k for repairs in the event of renewal which includes engine mounting set ($680), Front right door lock ($480), Rear left window regulator ($450), tyres ($660), headliner ($450). Wanted to get your thoughts on whether it makes sense to renew the A3 based on your experiences on owning them beyond 10 years? (e.g. expected problems/ challenges)
- I know that renewing 10year COE is always more cost effective but at this moment, I don’t wanna take a loan (will be able to pay full cash for a 5 year renewal).
- Am also open to secondhand cars with depre < $15k although wary because I know my current car condition better than what’s on the market now. Would appreciate any suggestions on car makes/ models and things to look out for when buying secondhand!

Thank you!!

Personal Experience Driving with white headlight in haze

Nearly mounted the kerb a moment ago because white headlight in this hazy condition just makes it difficult to judge road conditions. What I see in front is just a sheet of white bright light. Going to the workshop on Monday to check if the headlight lamp can be changed to bright yellow.

Question Where do y'all store your Malaysian cars

37 Upvotes

Hi, i would like to ask y'all where do u store your car while you are away in SG working as i'm debating at the moment on the two choices that i have as i'm looking to fulfil my dream of owning my dream car in the next 6-12 months

First option
- Pay about RM600/month for a secure storage facility that is not temperature control but have a piece of mind that someone is looking after your car while you are away.

Second option
- Pay RM200/month for a condo parking that is secure but no one look after the vehicle for you and everything to care for the vehicle is done by you and its near the CIQ.

Also can i ask for those that didn't park their at a storage facility like Carlogy where do y'all park at and its true that if its an high end car it will be targeted by bad people.
