My faithful SLK
Yesterday in office, almost everyone is talking about petrol price.
"Take LRT to work la, still cheaper than driving mar"
"If we cycle to work, it is cheapest! can exercise and not pollute the air…Ha! Ha!"
As for me, I am reminded again that my faithful SLK (small little Kelisa) is again not going to cause me to eat less everyday just to pay for its expenses. I am glad I have a small car with less tolerable petrol consumption. Again, I am proud to drive my humble little car around as I still remember its tagline when it was launch about 5 years ago, "Engineered for fun" 
Recently, my hubby and me has been feeling a little peer pressure of having a bigger and better car, but we do not really need it at this moment. We have friends who are driving bigger and better (non-local) car than ours. Cannot deny that we felt pity sometimes, but I am still very proud of our SLK. So, I wanna just jot down some little reminders here for me to consider, apart from the one above. In case one day I decide to trade off my faithful SLK for something bigger and better. My SLK has:
-
Faithfully serve me without much problem for almost 5 years.
-
Never breakdown on the road before.
-
Travel to so many places with my hubby and me (Penang, Kota Bharu, Cherating, Ipoh, Melaka and many more)
-
No need to spend more than RM500 for service before.
-
Protected me without a single scratch in a bad accident with a bigger and better car. (bigger and better car not moving after that, but my SLK can still move
). -
Road tax now cost less than RM40
-
Looking for a parking is never really a major issue.
Once, I thought that I could not save enough because my car expenses is very high, but after all the experiences that I have gone through with my SLK, it is worth it all 




My philosophy is, as long as you’re happy with what you’ve got, it doesn’t matter what people say
So, celebrate your SLK!
