Debt, debt, and more debt. Enjoy it.

How many book more than one make ? have Thai friends in the past that have booked 3 or 4 new cars at the Motorshow, the 1st to arrive gets the deal.... who in the right mind buys a normal everday car that they may get in 6 months time.

Debt, debt, and more debt. Enjoy it.

Buying a car does not necessarily equate to debt.

Another nail in Thailands coffin, Debt, coupled with greed !

What an interesting article with comments to match:

The news yesterday stated bookings were 50% down on previous expos - so who is telling the truth?

A new car does not mean debt - who are you kidding unless you are using the reasoning there is no intention to actually pay the debt only to use the item until it is confiscated.

Debt, debt, and more debt. Enjoy it.

They don't take cash?...Unusual for a car salesman.

Girls not as pretty this year as in previous years.
