Wonderful

What do you do before you go and buy a car?

You ask around people who have the car for real comments. You go to the showroom and try out the seats, touch the paintwork, feel the interior, play with the steering, slam the door... (and get some free food and drinks). You scrutinise the brochure, compare fuel consumption and horsepower. You ask for a test drive and do some ganas maneuvers to see whether the car is worthy of your hard-earned cash.

At least that's what I did before splurging 50K on a car.

Our wonderful government buys RM 1.6 billion worth of helicopters by just reading brochures. By the way, anybody knows how many zeroes are there in a billion?

Wonderful, isn't it.
