First, what's your job? I want to do the same thing so I can buy those kind of cars in 3 years.

Second, you may have to save for another 5 years since the cost of shipping, taxes, etc will cost the same as buying another one of those cars plus 50% if you're lucky.

There are Pinoys who live in "The Valley" and are quite well-off. They probably could afford supercars. On the other hand, there's also the rank and file "Joe Sixpack" like yours truly who drives a Ford and a Hyundai.

Sometimes I wish I had more ambition to be rich. But, I'm happy where I'm at.

If the guy can afford a RR or a Lambo, I'm sure he can afford the "buwaya" fees.

$320000 * 48 = P15,360,000. shipping & tax(as per niky's estimate): P15,360,000 * 150% = P23,040,000!!!

...

ilang oras ko kaya bibilangin ang ganito karaming pera?!?!

Bribes. Buwaya = Crocodile.

Some customs officials are labeled as "buwayas" because they are greedy (and corrupt), which does not give justice to crocodiles, as they only eat what they can consume.
