Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Today is a busy Monday for me, things are breaking down in all my client’s offices. And I’ve also been working on a new project over the weekend, hopefully it will be up to beta stages soon. It’s something related to cars as well.
So see you guys tonight, and if you’re bored just keep playing the Ram Rash ad on repeat heheh 
I’ve started a simple one page car jargon dictionary over here. Whatever’s listed there is all I can think of at the moment. If you have any more terms you could like added, please leave a comment. It’s a work in progress.
The comments on my blog are becoming too much of a sore to the eyes for me not to do anything about it anymore.
I am sick and tired of watching people engage in mindless cheap shots at each other just because they disagree with the other’s opinion.
Opinions are opinions and everyone is allowed to have one. I’ve pleaded many times for my readers to argue constructively, and when needed to, agree to disagree.
I didn’t want to do this but now I am forced to. From now on, each and every comment will have to be approved by me first, until I change my mind. Maybe until things cool down. Personal attacks and anything else unrelated to the blog’s topic will not be accepted.
Update: As per a reader’s suggestion, I’m going to try to force registration and login to comment instead of moderating everything outright. Please please PLEASE do not abuse the discussion function of my blog. I have a life, and I don’t want to spend my whole day moderating your comments to keep this place a pleasant read for everyone else. If you want to pick fights or be obnoxious, go to a bar, get drunk and punch the ugliest person you see.

The automotive industry and the blogosphere has been fused with GM launching it’s new FastLane blog.
GM says it’s FastLane blog is all about GM’s cars and trucks. GM also has another blog called the Smallblock engine blog, to celebrate Chevrolet’s successful small-block engine’s 50th birthday.
The blog is written by GM vice chairman Bob Lutz. You can read him ‘defend’ some decisions the GM board made which to most people don’t make sense and could be the final nail in the coffin for the company’s dwindling sales.
A small follow-up post related to the announcement I made previously. Should let you understand why I decided to do what I decided to do.
Anyway, it’s the Frankfurt Motor Show this month and I’m really excited for photos to start appearing on the internet. Alot of manufacturers are revealing new models and new concepts. I’ll be blogging about them here.

I am going to edit or delete any comment which mentions racial issues from now on.
A few Satria R3 owners have started a blog called The R3gister. It’s tagline goes “The unofficial resource site for everything Satria R3 LEV”. I guess I don’t have to explain what the blog is about. Head on to The R3gister if you want to know more about the Satria R3 and read first hand reviews and ownership experiences. Good effort by Vernon, Prozac51 and Jakuuzeeman.

Sorry for not updating much recently guys. I have been feeling down lately. Once I have picked myself up again I’ll come back with more news from the automotive industry. Thank you for reading my blog regularly.
