i wish i knew how to drive

really. times like this, i wish i knew how to drive. my own car. and below are my cars. i chose them because of their initial appeal to me. i'm no car enthusiast. but these are the only cars that call my attention. i don't know anything that much about their specs / technicalities.

1. mini cooper / mini cooper s. from the time i've seen the movie 'the italian job', i have always wanted to own this car. you know, channelling charlize theron's charm and beauty ;). i've inquired on a few pre-owned mini 5 or 6 years ago, and a decent one would cost about php350K. i think the lowest price was 280K. brand new would cost php2M to php2.2M visit http://www.mini.com.ph/ to view the specs and the other models.

EDIT:2. suzuki swift. i forgot this. much cheaper than mini. brand new costs php730K to php770K. image from http://www.globalsuzuki.com/



3. toyota camry. the only sedan that i like then (why then? you'll know shortly). astig kasi. sedan but has character and it's roomy. price range is php1.4M to php2.1M. all camry images are from http://www.toyota.com.ph/.




4. honda accord. the second sedan that i like. dahil astig din siya. so ngayon, 2 na sila ni camry na gusto ko. price range php1.7M to 2.1M. all accord images are from http://accord.hondaphil.com/.







and for our little family, i'd choose volvo. safe. roomy. functional. with form. efficient. earth-friendly. for volvo, i suspect it starts at around php3.5M to php5M. hay. all volvo images are from http://www.volvocars.com/ph/


5. volvo xc90.




6. volvo xc70.

towed

last june, menggay gave up on us, just like that. hehehe... jason was driving, right after we turned right to ortigas avenue extension from c.raymundo, menggay stopped, just like that. luckily, the shell station is just on that corner. we digged on jason's wheeler's club membership but it's already expired. then again, he have this petron bpi mastercard with free 24/7 towing services. we called and voila, after an hour or so, we are now being towed.


jason let me drive menggay, he thought he and manong will push menggay on to the ramp. hehehe

that's us before we left and inside the towing truck :)


cause: clogged gas pump
