Cars, Vacations

As some of you may know..my dad is planning to buy a new car. He had plans to sell off the good, not so ol' Ford Ikon. But i put my foot down and said no. So, now he has taken the Ford to his workplace in Chandigarh.
Let me get back to the subject now. As i was saying he plans to buy a new car
My Mum says we should buy a Corolla but somehow i dont like that car. Anyways, my dad took a test drive of the Corolla on Friday.
My Review
The car is Ok. But if you compare it with Ford its nothing except for the little itsy-bitsy cosmetic stuff

The Ford has a 1.6 litre, 8-valve SOHC, 91 bhp engine whereas the Corolla claims to have a 1.8 litre, 16-valve, 125 bhp engine
but it doesnt look like
the car just refuses to accelerate. i mean 0- 100 in 8 secs..nuthin gr8
the ford accelerates like hell man...its got so much power underneath its hood

Braking of corolla is awful...nothing as compared to Ford

Also my dad didnt like the driving comfort of the car

Other Options
Octavia(nobody in the house is interested)
CR-V(daddy says its expensive)
Endeavour(i feel its underpowered)
Mondeo(daddy doesnt like it)
Mercedes-Benz A Class(not available in india)
rest of the cars are above budget but might jus slip in

My Best Option
to buy a tractor and go do farming in our farms
OR
this is the best part

Buy a big truck...send it to a body builder...get it modified at the back...u know, carrier air-con, Bose surround sound, TV, Sofa cum Bed...all the gr8 shit
at the back of the truck we'll put a sign that says
OK TATA HORN PLEASE
Buri nazar wale tera muh kala
we'll also hang the Nokia 1100 in front and then say
Raat ko bhi chalta hai
this is about it

about the vacation part
i went to chandigarh and ambersar(amritsar)..nuthin much to rite abt that

gtg ciao
