Although the designs of trucks are commonly associated with the European countries and various states within the US such practice can be seemingly identified in varying areas and regions around the world. One continent that has embraced the usage of various truck accessories in order to enhance the appearance and structure is Asia. Central Asian countries are particularly adept and proud of the results that are produced upon the creative input of truck owners on their vehicles. Trucks are usually one medium of identifying with the place’s culture and its constituent’s ideals.
There are certain trucks situated in central Asia specifically in countries such as Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan that attract tourist attention due to its colorful designs and decorations. Afghanistan has been pinpointed as the nation having the most abundant forms of these trucks. It has been termed as the Jingle truck. Such term was derived from the United States military slang wherein the soldiers stated that a certain jingly sound can be heard coming from the truck. The particular sound was produced by the chains that were hanging from the bumpers of the vehicle. Apart from the chains, pendants and other brightly-colored tassels are also noticeable on the front and rear bumpers of these trucks.
The decorations and accessories placed on the truck were highly dependent on two concepts. The first one is rooted on the personality of the owner which is normally dominated by intricate designs boosted by bright and shiny colors. Another concept of the truck’s blueprint is depicted scenes and patterns that are readily painted on them. It is also said that the truck is usually overloaded with varying contents and a fire can be possibly seen on the cab of the truck during winter in order to provide warmth for the driver since heaters are not really part of the truck’s features.
In Pakistan, trucks are also well customised by the owners. These vehicles have been highly regarded as a form of moving art within the country. The artwork involved in the designs of the trucks is uniquely different from those in other parts of the world. This is due to the fact that the inspiration is based on themes showcasing the way of life. Moreover, poems are also used to decorate the exterior portion of the trucks. Although the fee for the decorative service rendered on such vehicles is quite expensive people in Pakistan prefer to have the aesthetic price that the customising offers.
The driver or owner of the truck normally pays for about 3,000 to 5,000 dollars for the external adornment of his vehicle. Calligraphy, paintings, structural alterations, and ornamental configurations are commonly employed. There are also wooden carvings done on the truck doors and mirror adjustment on the front and back of the vehicle. Nevertheless it is common practice that the owner is the sole decision-maker on what kind of transformation his truck will receive.
These trucks also have a social, historical, and cultural representation of Pakistan. Various regions within the country have widely embraced the practice of customising trucks. Karachi is regarded as a major focal point for truck designs. Each city in Pakistan has its very own form of décor style. Balochistani and Peshawari trucks are commonly trimmed with wood while Rawalpindi and Islamabadi trucks usually have traces of plastic art.
Truck accessories need not always be the modern form of materials and equipment. More so, it can accentuate with the owner’s love for vehicles, art, and country.
Determining Fair Vintage Car Prices
For a person who adores cars, especially vintage cars, putting a price tag on their favorite vehicles, especially if they have been fully restored can be very difficult. The emotional attachment a person gets with a vehicle that has captured his or her passion can be deemed as priceless and for many people parting with their vehicles, selling them to another vintage car enthusiast is like giving a part of themselves as well.
For a buyer though, it is but normal that they would haggle with the prices and be skeptic about the price, this is just basic buying. Cars, both old and new, are usually priced higher than they are normally worth; this is so that when a buyer haggles for the asking price, they still have room to deduct. If a buyer is really determined to buy a vintage car, and he or she doesn’t have any inkling about its market value, then in the hands of a good seller, the buyer may be paying a price that’s too high.
In determining what a fair price is when buying a vintage car, it would really help a lot if you have a car value guide in hand. A value guide can clearly show a person the valuation of a vehicle determined by the year, make and model of the vehicle and its current condition. For example, you may be looking at two exact vehicles; one may be higher in value if the other one is in a worse condition and would need more repairs.
Conditions are usually rated from 1 to 5, 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. A vintage car in condition 1 is usually in the car show condition and is fully restored. Condition 2 and 3 is drivable, has a good body but doesn’t have that car show qualities yet. Condition 4 needs various repairs and condition 5 is not drivable and is a candidate for the junk yard.
Also, try to consider the things that have been altered with the vehicle, A seller may be jostling for higher prices for a “pimped out” vintage car, but remember, the more original parts that are taken out of the vehicle, the lesser its value becomes. This is because if you want to have a great looking fully restored vehicle, it has to have its original parts and designs, and if you want to do this with a tricked out vintage car, you will need to still find the parts and this will cost you more.
The rarity or the number of units made with the same specifications will determine its price as well. Example, if a certain vintage car was made with a limited production number, its value will be higher, but if within that limited units made, there were also units that had better specifications, then those special units are much more rare and would command a higher price.
Lastly, always have a mechanic check out the car before you buy it. A vintage car can have a lot of secret damages and problems to it. And because vintage cars can be very expensive, you have to make sure first if you are truly getting what the seller is selling you. You just don’t hand over your money. Be wise when buying a vintage car, it is a worthy investment and knowing that you paid right for it makes it even a better investment.

The testimony of a child
I was born from a simple family. Life pas-pas an, with four brothers. We live life with a variety of insults and ridicule people. Mummy I am a Christian, but a papi do not know God. We introduced her children to God since childhood. But since hubby did not know God, so we were hard to grow in faith. We always get yelled at if we go to church, what else should go home a bit tonight because of a church.
But our desire to always grow in faith does not stop. Have a longing in us to be able to win the hubby. Any given day, we were forced to follow the ceremony sembayangan. And we know that God is not allowed, if not we get yelled at. Our hearts are contradictory, but we try to not become a stumbling block. Indeed we are sinners, must lie to papi, because we pretend to worship, but we still wrote, we forgive ya hubby .........
Twelve years, we had prayers answered by God. Papi want to know God, because his favorite child sick. That day we were happy the first time papiku take the cross of God and put it inside the room. But we did not break to pray not to end up there alone. True God is too good for our family, finally papiku want church. Oh the incredible happiness that we may feel.
And while most we wait, my hubby decided to follow the water baptism, on 9 May 2004. But it was the beginning of every test of our family life. God let my mom convicted of colon cancer. Various drugs and doctors we are trying to help the healing mami, but God says another, not better but they become serious. Until one day papi sorry self, and punishing yourself with guilt, because he repented then this happens.
We kebinggungan, on the one hand we perihatin with mami conditions, but on one hand we do not want to be a stumbling block disease mami to papi further know the Lord. We try to advise papi, that what happened was not his fault. Aided by our pastor, hubby finally realized.
But when hubby is able to accept the situation that happened, that's where things mom getting worse. Until the last second, on the last night for us to hang out with mom. Our prayers and praise the Lord all night, we took turns to keep mommy until morning. And that morning the Lord gave the best for my mami mami by lifting all the diseases and take him back kepangkuanNya, precisely on 11 September 2009.
Day after day we were then without a we love. Until one day her hubby heart disease recurrence. Apparently we live trip is not complete. We wrestle with deep sadness, on the one hand we want hubby to recover and have a longer chance with us. But we collided with a cost, so that we can only surrender to God.
And right on the 3rd of november 2010 the Lord also gave my hubby a total recovery and to love the Lord lift kepangkuanNya met with mommy dearest. Now even had the love of God to us, although grief is always there However the we believe what God did for our way of life, very good.
Now we like chicks that lost its mother, the various trials we tried through, with younger siblings and only rely on God. We are disappointed by relying on humans, they instead helped even make us fall apart. But we will not hate them, whatever they do to us.
Thank you God, for the most beautiful place to papi, mami. And tell papi, mami, we are very dear to him, what he taught us will always remember, and we always remember the beautiful days with him. Now, God be the Father of our Lord. And while we run from Your path, rebuke us, so that later we can get together again in glory. Amen

Figure a AGNES Monika

The first:
Agnes monika dream of becoming a singer of Go International. To achieve it required hard work and must dare to take the obstacles that exist. But we must not forget our dreams, so we must be very clever to choose the way to go for a dream come true. As in the play Agnes became famous soap operas, at the time, but Agnes returned back streets turned to her dream as a singer of Go International, so dare to leave to popularity as a sitcom actress.
The second:
Running something with careful planning, not just looking for popularity shortly after it no longer khabar. So we have to be really selective and have committed to run something not half-heartedly, but with a vengeance and our capabilities. Like the time Agnes Monika choose to receive a sitcom actress role with the title Early Marriage, Agnes became famous here, that shows the work that is not half-half, so that led to satisfactory results.
third:
Is committed to achieving the dream as a singer that Go International. Not just mere talk, but the public will see and watch that dream (goal) was realized.
Everyone has a dream, and every dream will come true with passion and hard work never give up. Prove to the fact that the world can see, and when that dream is no longer a mere dream, but real.
Make a figure of Agnes Monika who is able to realize a dream come true, then you were able to like him.
