1. State the urgency of your need. For me it was having my uni far from home, and if I get my car this week, I'll have 2 weeks to practice driving, and to get used to it. If I get it by next week, I'll only have a week to practice. The week before my uni starts, I'll be in Shanghai, China.
2. If Step 1 fails, or generates a lukewarm response like, 'There's no rush...' then put forth an ultimatum. Mine was, 'If I don't get a car by Sunday next week, I'll use my RM XX and get myself a junk car.' Make sure you are ready to carry out this threat.
My dad ordered my mom to CarWorld along Jalan Ampang the very same day ie. today. This beautiful black MyVi now has a booking fee of RM1000 in my name.
But hey, there are lots of things to bring and remember before you decide to buy a car! Yeah, I just realised that. Sigh, turns out, I won't even get my car for about 10 working days. But that's another little story.

Oh do a background check
But only if you must.
biography
suddenly i'm famous and people know my name
*SUPER NERDCHITECT, AWAY!
No magic or super powers, just needs loads of cash, a plane, some blood, and a pinch of luck.
I'm actually a really sweet person. No, really. I dig Tim Tam's, except when I have a sore throat.
I also swear by rambutans and white wine being the ultimate after-dinner combination of bitter and sweet.
Love to hang out, but don't do it enough. Detests clubs for their funny smell and awful base-banging.
Is thinking I am generally untalented, but has the attitude to make up for it.
-I want a British telephone booth in my home!

On your first date, never, ever, say 'smurf penis'.
Even though that blue horn on the wall looks like one.

you count down ten to one because when on zero you can smile
Because desire is full of endless distances
