Dont forget to visit my garage and take a look at our other rides as well.
Our (Dec 1999) Toyota Corolla 1.3 XE, very seldom used (currently just reached 50Tkm in its 6th year with us, so you can imagine how rarely this car runs) This car served as my grandma's personal vehicle when she was still alive. Practically just sitting inside the garage for the most of its lifetime for in cases of emergency. With frequent trips to the hospital for my grandma's check-ups and the ocassional out of town trips to Tagaytay and Pampanga. We never sold the car and we still use it today because its still very much reliable and solid. Since this car was bought, only 2 people have driven it, one is me and the other is my aunt. And just recently, this car was hit by another car while it was parked somewhere, it had a minor dent on the FR bumper, LFR fender, and a broken LFR signal light. I had the car estimated at a nearby Toyota dealer and they quoted the price at Php33,000.oo! can you believe it?! Screw those damn dealers! If i take it to a shop elsewhere, it would cost no more than Php 12,000.oo only! But because i have no money yet, the car is presently just parked inside the garage with all the broken parts, i'll attend to it later if i have the money and the time for it

It took me some time and effort to make this shot possible, waiting for the perfect lighting, perfect weather (it was a rainy season though) but i was waiting for a moment like this when the pavement was a little bit damp, and i woke up early to clean them for the shoot. Nevertheless... it was worth it. Although im not so much happy with this picture because the Getz side profile photo cannot be fully captured because if i did so, that would make all the cars look smaller because i have to move myself and my camera far behind from the cars It took me some time and effort to make this shot possible, waiting for the perfect lighting, perfect weather (it was a rainy season though) but i was waiting for a moment like this when the pavement was a little bit damp, and i woke up early to clean them for the shoot.

Driving a FORD; solid driving experience, poor fuel consumption, luxurious feel, sweet smell of leather
Driving a HYUNDAI; cat-quick, untamed suspension, full of techy optional equipment on board, engine temp gauge nowhere to be seen (what was Hyundai thinking)
Sorry for getting your butt wet, i'll wipe it clean later

This is me!
This is me, out havin fun, shootin the breeze during weekends. ATTENTION all car/truck/motorcycle drivers; Please learn TO SHARE THE ROAD to the bike riding people out there. What those guys save (collectively) in gas and oil can help this country by lessening its demand for petroleum products and limit our gas and oil dependency problems. But more importantly, everyday cyclists DO NOT contribute to air & noise pollution. Think about it, if everybody owns a car, it would be a nightmare! gas prices would've shot up sky high and you know whats the worst thing that can happen? It can make carbon monoxide levels intolerable and potentially hazardous to every living thing on this planet. So please be kind, drive sensibly & SHARE THE ROAD. The true EARTH SAVER does'nt go around on a chauffer driven-gas guzzler-state of the art-nobody could afford- Mercedes... They come around in bicycles. Remember, bicycles are the purest form of transportation man had invented. Don't try to intimidate bike riders with our cars. Make the streets BIKER FRIENDLY
Scanned archived photos of my past cars (photo taken about 1996) A 1979 1300cc VW Beetle. This was my first car. This was the car that taught me how to drive. My parents let me used this car when i was in high school and lasted until i was a freshman in college before it finally faded out and just simply stopped running due to old age. This VW was bought as 2nd hand around 1989 and was sold in 1998
(Photo taken 1997) A 1991 Toyota Corolla 1300cc XL 5 Speed, a car that was "assigned" to me by my parents since the VW had been sold. We bought this car brand new in 1991 at Toyota-Balintawak and was sold last 1999
(Photo taken 1998) A 1992 Nissan Sentra 1.6 ECCS Automatic, given to me as my graduation gift when i finished college. This car was really classy, elegant and quite luxurious but really required some high maintennance as the suspension parts were not really solid and yet so expensive. We bought this car 2nd hand in 1998 and i sold it last 2003 to buy a 2nd hand more reliable 1997 model Honda City
