Cars advertisement and Stupid stupid

Ressential, Astro been showing some advertisements on some automotive campaign. Volvo and Mercedes Benz that emphasized on human emotions. Like how long that brand been serving you and how it affect or changed your life. And some contest to win some prices too. We all know that Volvo and Mercedes Benz had always been a rival from day one. Just like Nike and Adidas been fighting for that small raise in market shares. Well, all I wanna say for this campaign is that, is working for me.

Let me be the first to print out my memories about Mercedes Benz. My dad used to own a Benz 320SL, is an old fashion MAFIA style white Benz. When ever he was out of town or overseas with my mother, I would run straight to where he hid his spare keys, call up my good friend Mahen, and we'll both try to figure out how to drive this montrous (at that time I was 12, but tall enough to pedal) vehicle out from our garden without denting it or letting my neighbor's see us.

So, Mahen would be guiding me to reverse, do all the signs on about turning my steering, slap that car if I get too close to an object and such. That beautiful machine was beaming under the evening sky as it purr with excitement to commit some naughty fun.

We both had a very good understanding of cars at that age. Especially Benz, as I used to watch my dad drive it around, where the pedal at, where the handbrakes located, the signal stick is different, the steering is different. That evening was the happiest moment ever to us. We felt good driving at 12, we felt really good driving a Mercedes Benz at 12, Honked at a few people, went everywhere within our neighborhood.

When we finally had enough of mischief, it was time to land the car back to my house, it is a lot harder because we had to find the exact position it was parked. Clean it up, wipe our finger prints and pat our backs that we had such fun.

Days after this, my dad was back. Not only I was punished for illegal driving, Mahen was too,rat out by my Dad. " just out of curiosity dad, how on earth did you find out we took your car?" I can't bear to hold it, had to spurt it out for an answer to ease my aching backside.

"My stupid son, there's a few things I know about my car, firstly, the seats was not adjusted back to my position, secondly and the most importantly, my stupid son, you left the car's engine running"

Oh god, our little conspiracy turns nasty. That's the last time I took his Benz out for a drive, but looking back at it, is fun. Will always remember it.
