True story  halafu kwa sababu sio gari yako, you barely know it's full registration. Wewe unajua tu ni KBM but hizo zingine hukumbuki reminds me of a Jaduong' coming out of the club tipsy. Stands at the parking lot and stares shockingly at all the cars. Looks at his friend and wonders. "Yawa! How do you identify your car here? They are all white white white white..."

Agreed.Top gear especiaaly the UK version are openly biased towards European cars.  See what they score the VW golf volvo benz etc compared to cars from Japan  They annoyed me when they called the Honda CRV gari ya stay at home mothers for shopping and dropping kids to school kids soccer, drama etc! ! ! Aussies and Edmunds give fairer reviews. I particularly like the comments and reviews of actual drivers (except Subarus) Careful cause some people suffer from post purchase dissonance mkenyan wrote:jaggernaut wrote:Was watching Top Gear a few days ago and was shocked at how they trashed the Range Rover Sport......they said it's a 'terrible car' that's only bought by 'brainless EPL footballers'.
you realise top gear is not a serious motor review show? it is scripted and is "an entertainment programme, and should not be taken seriously." "ππ‘KQ makes money for everyone except the shareholder ππ " overheard in Wazua

How do bash a person renting a house in Nai-Langata- has a 5Br own house in Kitale and 100 Acres fertile land there. He owns several grade cows and farm machinery and other cars. He is employed in Nai on a five year contract and his company demands that for him to be given mileage(100K pm), he must buy a car through company facility(5yr loan, which ensures they have you for five years).

Too many of my young colleagues are living beyond their means. I find serious german cars parked outside rented flats. Drivers of this cars go to such places to pay rent, they do not live there, lol.. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. - Muhammad Aliπ

Some people may have decided to go the commercial way,Instead of building/buying and living in it.They put up commercial building and lease them out, these earn you income into the future. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around....

Totally agree!

@ Commando & rryyzz! How many people fall in that category? "You've never lived until you've almost died; for those who have fought for it, life has a flavour the protected will never know."

Take an example of taking a 9M mortgage where you pay 110K pm for 15 yrs(11.75 interest p.a) to own a 3BR in Kitengela. Some1 else will chose to buy a plot in Kitale and put up 6 rental units and make 60K pm, and chose to pay 25K rent p.m in Nai. I agree the people may not be too many, but the point is parking a serious car in a rented house is not always a stupid act. βI believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.
