just got a email from the company today and every 1 has a salary cut of 10% but no 1 is getting lay off yet.
I know it was coming and 10% is less that what I expected.
Last time it was 20% and 2 year freeze.
thats why i am uneasy and not getting the quads yet, won't stop, will get smaller mods

That's sad to hear, but I am glad everyone still has their job. We are just in the beginning of a global economic crisis and the situation is going to be more ugly soon. Actually being a normal person, there is nothing that we can do. Enjoy what you have now and think twice before spending on any expensive stuff. I heard that the price of many super cars has been reducing substantially, but I rather hold on to cash at the moment (and I can sleep better at night). Just my thought.

BTW, I had just ordered the retrofit kit for the light shift paddles of the M5 steering wheel. I will post here when I confirm the date on installing at AK47.

As long you still have a job, mod is OK. Maybe not the big stuff such as wide body conversion, tire & wheel package, or full exhaust but something like LED lighting is still affordable. Afterall we are human and we need hobbies to spice up our lives. Just go to Sing Fei to blow water is fun enough.
