the very first auto na nasakyan ko, fj40 land cruiser. dito ako nagumpisa magkaroon ng interest sa pagdrive. company car ni erpats eto. madami na dumaan sa amin na company car. next in line was nissan double cab pick up, dun ako natuto magpatakbo ng auto at sabihin natin stepping stone. also, dati nagkaroon kami ng l300 fb, way back grade 2 ako. lahat yun company car. hanggang sa nagkapera si erpats at nagassemble siya ng wrangler jeep nung grade 4 ako. yun ang kauna-unahan namin na auto na sarili namin.

then pinalitan na ang company car ni erpats ng fx base model nung 1998. dito ako sa fx natuto talaga magdrive kasi kita ang nguso eh. pero nung natuto ako magdrive, ang wrangler ang naging service ko pero hindi ko dinadala kahit nung nagcollege ako. ano reason, ayoko gumastos sa gas from my allowance. pero nadala ko yun sa school one time dahil lang sa wala ako masakyan.

nagstart lang ako magdala talaga ng auto full time nung pagkapasa ko ng board. ang fx na ang gamit ko. kasama ko sa gimik at ibang lakad. pero hindi yun nagtagal, ilang buwan ko lang nailalabas ang fx namin dahil bumili kami ng bago, pero 2nd hand. isang jdm pajero 5 doors na 2.8L last year lang. at etong sasakyan ang masasabi ko na sa akin talaga dahil sa kin nakapangalan at ako ang nagmamaintain. dito ako ngayon masyado attached dahil sa madami kami adventures nito at 2 babae ang dumaan sa amin 2 na pareho kami iniwan :cry:. at binigyan ng mga friends ko ng pangalan eto, tinawag nilang "Precious", dahil sa ang tubig ng radiator, wilkins...

hindi ko nga lang siya madalas gamitin, only on weekends. pag weekdays, yung fx ang gamit ko.

Anyway tge first car our family owned is our current car,

[batang_raon14]

for me.. first car was a black Chevrolet Optra that was a run-me-down from my sister. Used to have fun as it was pretty able to get up to 200km/hr without having to wait for forever for it to be able to reach there. However, grew old, became more responsible (and with that comes better finance management), and realizing that it's just too costly to own, sold it for something else.

Have a lot of memories as well then... I remember trying to catch Porsche 911 turbos in Daang Hari then and hitting the curves like there's no tomorrow. lol... young days... just seemed to pass like it was just yesterday.

Mine was a 1997 Toyota corolla XE which use to be my service during college days since my last class ends at 8:30PM... unfortunately it needs to be sold kasi kelangan ipangdown sa condo. but on the brighter side, after ilang months lang eh binigyan ako ng Altis.

my First official car is my Suzuki APV... with the help of my utol.. "thanks kuya! hehee!"

Pero siyempre may konting istorya muna tayo

My first car na-drive was a Nissan Sentra LX... yung box type pa siya dati.. My brother taught me how to drive within 1 day... pero wala pa ko hilig na mag drive nun.. but I really liked the 'new car smell' - grade school pa ko nito..

One time pinalabas sakin ni utol yung Nissan kasi lalabas kami.. nung na-ilabas ko na yung kotse.. saktong padating si erpats.. ayun.. na huli ako! hahaha!... nag tago ako sa cabinet na malaki sa masters bedroom namin ng isang araw para hindi ako pagalitan.. hahahhaa!

pero wala pa din akong hilig sa pag drive.. nasa utak ko lang dati puro school kasi nga masyadong mahigpit si erpats...

when I was 17, my dad and I went to cavite to have my student licence at the same time non-pro licence made... uso pa yung palakad dati.. wahehehehe! no exam.. tapos babalikan mo after 30 days yung id card mo pa.

When I reached 2nd year college, they let me use our Lancer GLX (Before yung cyclone model) sorry, im not really familiar with the year models.. kasi nga since wala daw mag hatid sundo sakin sa school.. mag kotse na lang daw ako... so napilitan din ako na mag drive..

Unfortunately, I didn't really care about that car... Importante sakin maka-pasok at maka uwi... ni carwash di ko siya nilinisan. basta umaga alis going to school.. then uwi... minsan gala kasama mga schoolmate..

After a while nag blow-by yung Lancer... pag naka start yung engine nya bumubula yung radiator water pag binuksan yung radiator cap.. tapos madalas mag overheat.. dun na ko tumigil mag drive at naka stuck na siya sa tapat ng bahay namin..

after gathering some dust.. siguro mag 1 year din siya sa harap ng bahay.. kinuha siya ng mom ko, pinagawa then binenta... that was the last i saw that car... i remember the plate number pa.. it was PRT-437.. parang color Dark Green siya..

Graduated, then worked, had some barkada na addict sa drag racing... dati nasa likod pa ng MOA yung PDRF, tambay kami dun.. minsan kasali sa karera... ako yung driver ng kotse ng barkada ko pag papunta tsaka pauwi sa PDRF umabot din kaming Clark nung na-lipat yung PDRF dun... pero iba ang nag da-drive pag laban na.

That is where my interest with car's started... Naisip isip ko din na sayang yung lancer na gamit ko dati... maganda pa naman pormahan yun! but well.. its already gone...

Got married, worked and planned for a new car... sabi ko sa wife ko kahit second hand.. ok ako.. with the help of my brother.. makaka-hanap tayo ng magandang kotse since experienced na siya mag pili ng sasakyan.. Kaya lang.. ayaw ni misis ng second hand.. kahit kelan.. kahit ano.. basta second hand. ayaw nya..

So for short gusto brand new... so naisip ko yung Kia Picanto.. mura siya.. fuel efficient.. tsaka cute.. we checked the Kia Showroom dyan sa may Macapagal Blvd last feburary 2010 lang... we saw the Kia Sedan and it was offered for around 28k dp then 14k per month for 5 years.. sabi ko swak sa budget... kaya..

then we went to the next door, 'Hyundai' kasi interested din ako sa i10 model nila.. so nadiscover ko na mahal pala siya compared to the Hyundai Getz Gold... may DVD player / TV siya! offer was around 48k DP then 13K per month for 5 years.. so mas mura siya... mas mahal lang ang DP...

got approved pero nag iipon pa kami ng pang downpayment... within that time frame.. nakausap ko utol ko.. dahil siya ang well experienced sa mga ganitong pag bili ng sasakyan.. after a week he called back.. sabi nya.. pumunta siya sa same Kia and Hyundai shops sa macapagal and what they offered me was truly a rip off... sobrang mahal daw...

sabi ko.. I know.. kasi wala nga akong pang downpayment na 20%.. So he was offering a second hand car from his friend kaya lang ayaw nga ni misis ng second hand... after a week my brother called back... and he offered his Brand New Suzuki APV M/T...

Oh yeah.. it was heaven after he said that...

He wanted for me to continue the payment na lang.. around 10050 per month.. tapos bayaran ko na lang daw yung binayad nyang downpayment worth 180k but kahit 130k na lang daw... hulugan pa!

for short im going to pay 10350 per month sa kanya for the downpayment and monthly and i saved around 100k kasi nag bayad na siya for a couple of months plus the 50k discount na binawas nya sa downpayment...

so there is the story of my first official car.. my wife named him Django.. kasi tamang laki siya.. not as big as a normal van... but very comfy for 8 people..

[xander1925]

1st car was 1995 Toyota Corolla XL yung big body... AFter a few months naglabasan ang mga sira, STeering, Clutch etc.. etc... Binenta ko agad... not a very good experience for a 1st car for me..

[abet_ramz]

My first car was a 2003 Toyota Revo VX200

Had many fun & memorable experiences with my ride until i sold a few months back this year. Talo din kasi ako sa gas consumption, minsan napapaisip ako if kakain pa ba ako or lalagay ko sa gas tank hehehe!

[after11years]

My first car was a Honda Civic LXi way back in 1998. I was 4 then.

LOLJK it was a family car pero parang car ko na rin kasi since I entered high school ako na lang gumagamit. That was when I moved to the school in Agham Road and my dad decided to do home-based work. 44km a day ang natatakbo ng Civic namin dahil sa akin.

Lots of intense family memories there. It has seen all the happy and sad days of our family, and even if it comes with some bad memories, parting with it will definitely hurt. I'm betting my parents will cry. Hahaha.

We're (hopefully) selling it to my uncle in Bicol.


But for now, I'm excited about our City which is coming anytime in the next two weeks. :D
