With the high maintenance costs associated with owning a car, I might as well put my purchase plan on hold. The price of petrol is climbing like crazy and all indications are pointing northwards. My current vehicle is not bad. In fact, I still proudly display it everywhere. So, for now, my next four wheel purchase will be a couple of slot cars. With a fast slot car, I’d surely be the most popular kid in the neighborhood. There’s nothing wrong with it, except that I’m 20 years past that age group.
A columnist for a Philippine newspaper talks about the costs and massive preparations required by the US Secret Service whenever President Bush and other (US Presidents) travel outside of Washington DC. I remember watching a CNN report that showed how big a US presidential convoy is, compared to the two vehicle transport being used by Prime Minister Tony Blair of the UK.
