    it could be. according to the commission on audit, the highest paid public servant in 2014 who earned 16.44M was erlinda basilio, our ambassador to beijing. WTF.

    Maybe Beijing paid her salaries and keep her mouth shut on the building activities that China is doing on our shores at Spratlys. If the Philippine government did pay her salary, do ambassadors really get that much?

    Those bmw, audi, benz that are colored brown, gray, silver snd white are not recognizable or they dont stand out so it does not attract attention.

    What im talking about are T86's, brz's and other import sports cars with striking colors. I think even the hummers, fjcruiser, mini coopers fall in these categories that need to park near the entrance

    I am sorry but I still don't think that such cars deserve the exclusivity over any other cars in terms of parking. Even with such striking colors, a BRZ or 86 don't take precedence over a lowly subcompact as you are expected to pay the same parking fee unless you opt for valet services in a hotel parking. There are times I see an Audi RS4 Avant in bold yellow color parked along the basement of Glorieta mingling with the common cars despite its rarity. In Tower 1, the only one that takes precedence in parking in its lobby/dropoff area is a dark grey A8L of the owner of the building and all others use the parking lot even if they are driving Porsches or BMWs or Audis or Mercs.

    Para sa akin hindi practical gamitin ang sports car sa pinas, bukod sa ma traffic, maliit na daan e sira sira pa.. panu mo ma eenjoy e takbo yan, e malamang sa mahal niyan e double ang ingat mo sa pag drive..
    .
    E plus mo pa yung sa casa ka talaga mag papa gawa niyan kasi mahirap ipag katiwala sa ordinary mechanic..
    ,
    Mag susunog ka lang ng pera diyan.

    Again - Miata.

    Traffic? No problem. A 2.0 engine, manual transmission and a very light body means the same consumption as an ordinary compact.

    Maliit na daan? Perfect for such a small car.

    Poor roads? The Miata doesn't ride much lower than your typical sedan.

    Expensive maintenance? Yojin 3.

    Perhaps you've never driven on the Marilaque Highway? Or any of the fun twisties that our provinces have to offer? I have so much fun driving even with my ordinary sedan, I can imagine how much more fun it is with a Miata.

    ^^^ Mazda MX-5 is the world's best selling 2-seat roadster with close to 1M units sold.

    Isn't the Mazda MX-5 ground clearance lower than a typical sedan at 4-5 inches only?

    How much DNA of the Mazda MX-5 is in the Mazda 3? Is the MX-5 usable as a daily driver in the city?

    The Ceramic is very, very interesting... but I think the regular white paint looks better, and will probably be easier to maintain in the long run.

    The MX-5 AT is not as good as the MT, but it's short geared and snappy.

    The problem with the 86 is that between 2,500 - 4,000 rpm, the engine's torque delivery drops off noticeably... with the MT, you can drive around it. With the AT, coming from a stop, you have to wait until it gets into the meat of the power band before you feel any excitement.

    Against the clock, the two ATs are very similar, but because the MX-5 AT has short gearing and good low end torque, it feels more lively than the 86 AT. Also, the AT in the 86 makes it hard to adjust the attitude of the car on track.

    The 911 you get at under 1.9m is the 996. The older air-cooled ones cost more. For a good reason. 996 engines are notorious for eating themselves to death due to a balancer shaft issue. It's a crapshoot whether the secondhand you're getting has had the fix before permanent (hidden) damage has been done to the engine or whether it's been rebuilt properly.

    Still very tempting, now that there are aftermarket solutions to the IMS issue.

    An Evo is great fun, but it's a horrible daily driver. Incredibly bad fuel economy. It's like dating a girl who'll only have *** with you if you get her really really drunk. And when she's drunk, she likes to bring out the spiked leather and whips...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
