Buying a car in Singapore ain't cheap. Especially with that elusive piece of paper called a COE going for a minimum of $74,989 these days.
And upwards of $100,000 if you desire a more powerful car.
Read the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. So you'd expect a car owner to be tetchy should their vehicle not look its best.
However, TikTok user Adventurefinds has a rather different perspective.
When his kids needed somewhere to express themselves artistically, Adventurefinds did what some car enthusiasts might deem sacrilegious — by presumably offering his once shiny white Mazda 3 sedan as a blank canvas.
And it seems his children did have a field day or two drawing on the car and on Monday (June 27), Adventurefinds shared a 20-second clip of their scribbles on TikTok.
No area of the car was spared as colourful sketches of rainbows, windmills and mahjong symbols could be seen all over the Mazda.
Well, at least Adventurefinds can claim that he owns a limited edition Mazda 3 that's sure to be a head-turner when out in the streets.
While some doodles seemed rather willy-nilly, others caught the attention of netizens given their rather complex nature.
"You telling me you kid can draw the Chinese characters of [80,000] so nicely?" one netizen asked.
A different TikTok user replied that it was probably drawn by the parents and that this was part of their family bonding time.
At the other end of the spectrum were those TikTok users who simply couldn't see the need to 'vandalise' a family car.
"This is not an act of a loving father but a father with no discipline," one said.
In November 2021, a man had a similar experience when his children got their markers and pens out to scribble all over his white Audi.
Likewise, netizens loved how the car turned out aesthetically. For the parents' sake, let's just hope they feel the same way too.
If done without permission, I would discipline my children so they weren’t writing on other people’s cars in their 20’s. It is common courtesy for the future of America.
I guarantee this guy sits down to pee.

****
Exactly. Why stop at the car? Get your children to scribble on your bed, your phone, shirts, pants etc.
I wonder what kind of marker they use.
(I like the little bird - hate to see that wash off in the rain.)
He must have wanted original artwork on his car and encouraged it.
Otherwise he’s a bad parent letting his child move outside acceptable/respectable boundaries.
It’s cruel when parents don’t teach their children to behave properly and then others don’t want them around because they’re ill behaved.
Loving parents teach boundaries.
I guarantee this guy sits down to pee.
LOL. I bet this guy was the one who always passed out at parties and had people drawing on him.
Article indicates that he gave them permission.
This is far less severe than those morons who actually pay good money for others to scribble on themselves.
I rather enjoy looking at the artistic expressions of little children over and above the graffiti a.k.a. tattooing that people do to themselves
“his kids needed somewhere to express themselves artistically”
You know butcher paper is still pretty cheap.

If they are boys, can they write with their peeing?
And if they are girls, why can’t they?
Yep, same dude. Spent years white knighting try to get sympathy poon…

This ^^
I wonder what Singapore law this violates. They seem to have one for everything.
A story from an older lady who grew up during the depression. Her dad bought a new car and to surprise him they took red barn pain and painted the whole car. Things did not end well. Ouch
Crayons are basically wax. This won’t hurt the car. The children are happy and dad is a hero
Hopefully it’s that washable ink. I’ve seen this stuff and parents allow kids to use it on windows and walls. I think it’s a stupid, moronic, idea. We are charged with teaching kids right from wrong. Coloring on walls, windows, and cars, is not acceptable. This is the kind of crap that makes parents look like fools and the kids walk all over them.
Even though our daughter is about to be forty, i still have some cards and refrigerator art from childhood. Priceless.
They make ‘bathtub crayons’ for kids to use in the bath. They wash off. I’d be surprised if they weren’t using something similar.
The grands had those - I didn’t have an issue with those as they were fun in the tub and didn’t hurt anything. I just don’t like the whole “draw on the windows and the walls” thing, even if it washes off. I find kids these days don’t have enough respect for property and belongings.
