ABSOLUT ASTINA.
Our venerable '92 Mazda 323 died on us some time back and since then we've been car-less. This has caused us some degree of upset, since we had to rely on the charity of others lending us their cars whenever we wanted to leave the prison college to go out for dinner or for anything.
So we finally decided to scrap the car and get another one. And finally, we decided on another Mazda 323 that, at 1989, was even more venerable than the old one.
Only difference was that this 323 was a 1.8L 16-valve DOHC Mazda 323 Astina, and it looks like this:
The moment I sat into the driver's seat, I knew I had to buy it.
For one, the four letters instantly jumped out at me!
Check out the size of the exhaust siah! And oh, it's such a glorious sound when you turn on the engine....
And this is what confronted us when we popped the bonnet:
And for another freebie, this is what we found in the boot:
Wait, it gets better. After we zhng-ed it, this is what the dash looks like at night:
Taking the monster out for a spin:
Doing my best Takumi impersonation à la Jay Chou in Initial D:
Oh yar, got sunroof somemore! Hahahaha!
Finally, I have achieved my dream of owning and driving a loud, powerful, zhng-ed car, with sunroof, lowered suspension, MOMO steering wheel, flip headlights, and power bass! I'll so miss this car when we have to leave....
Right now we're thinking of naming it. DY has unilaterally named it '小红' but I refuse to call it something so -_-. Some ideas tossed out were 'Red Devil Car', 'Red Rocket', and 'Chilli Padi'. Any ideas?
