Daddy Lim’s New Toy

Daddy Lim’s toys are never cheap. This one neither. 

God has blessed our family, that we managed to afford a car very early in our family life. At that time, car price was nothing like now. That start is very important bcos the subsequent cars’ cash upfront payment is offset with the old car trade in value, enabling a manageable car loan. I am not sure how our kids are able to afford a car in the future. It is ok, it is their problem. Hoho. 

Our last Audi is a 2nd hand car bcos brand new Audi is too expensive but the man wanted to try driving one. Thankfully, we are blessed with one that didn’t give us any problems in the last 3 years. It was our 1st sedan car. We always have SUVs in the past bcos we have big people in the family and it is easier to get into and out of a SUV. Daddy Lim wanted to try a sedan. It seems ok in the beginning. Maybe it is an age thing; the getting in and out seems to get more difficult as the days progressed. 

We had recently paid off the car loan. This seems to be the indication for car changing. Maybe we should take a 10 year loan for the next car. While a car is only a transport for me, Daddy Lim took the research very seriously. It took him a while to finally decide that it would be an EV. We spent several weekends doing car window shopping and test drives. Then waiting for the COE to come down but it never did.

Now that Zaky is almost the legal age to get a driving licence, he is very invested in what new car we are buying too. I hear him discussing with Daddy Lim and even tagged along for test drives.

New car collection used to be a family affair. Now, it is just a car collection. Poor Daddy Lim went down alone yday. 

I thought he looked like he won a car in some grand lucky draw. Hoho. 

He then picked up the kids for dinner.

The kids were very impressed with the high tech car, they were testing out the different app and even karaoke singing. Lol. I was busy working when they came home and didn’t join them in exploring the new car. 

This morning, Daddy Lim offer to send me to the MRT. I took the offer bcos it would be so sad if other people started taking the new car before me. The car is really quite cool, it come with seats that blows out air somemore So fanciful. 

Daddy Lim is obviously still trying to get used to the new car. When nearing the MRT, he said that other people were not allowing him to cut in and drop me off. Huh? What? Hahahaha. 

I hope he likes the car for a long time. He is afterall the biggest user. Then he would be happy when we ask him to send us around. Hoho.
