True brothah! Haha. "No ragrets" just like what you've posted. Haha! 😂😂😂



The best ba talaga bro HotHatch? Sige na nga.. hehe. Peace! ✌
Anyway, game daw sabi ni bro Mandingo pag ok na project mo, round two daw tayo ng macho mug. Phonepatch uli si bro Travs with his coffee mug. Hahaha.

Honestly, I would've taken any color & even a sedan as my patience almost ran out....but my ever reliable dealership settled me & delivered just in the nick of time. The ADHD sat & waited. Haha.
And yes, Game on...I should get a macho coffe mug, too.:D

[Geo_S]

Hehe... After I acquire TEINitis para patas.

Next week na ba? We're a week away before November. Di na rin patas by that time. Pareho kayo naka aftermarket rims ni bro Marc. Pagiipunan ko pa para patas. Hahaha.

True but I don't think you'll ever get a sedan brah.. you are the epitome of a true blue hatch guy. Hehehe.

Make sure that you'll have a macho coffee mug coz it'll be a long night. Haha! 😊

How do you repair/fix a chipped paint? Saw one today sa door ng car ko? Di naman malaki, maybe a few mm.

Depends on the size and how deep, but if its really chipped, no choice but a paint touch up or worse a fill up.

Maliit lng naman sir and not that deep, siguro i touch up paint ko na lng.

Hahaha...you know me better than myself, brah...that's why I constantly seek your opinion as I don't trust myself anymore.:D
I had a macho mug but it broke...gotta look for another...hahaha.

Praying for RingKing's TEINs to get here sooner.

If only I have the luxury of time on waiting magaantay talaga ako kaso I don't, I even reserved for it 2 months prior . I really need a car this coming month kaya I even agreed kahit sa 2nd choice ko.. We all have our needs sayang lang talaga.. ughh para akong na busted ng nililigawan ko .. ganun yung feeling na na deny ng gusto mong kotse

Please, Ollie sir, hang in there. Miracles still happen....I'm helping you pray.....

[travajante]

Sir konting hintay lang, isipin mo kung 1 month ka mag hihintay at 1 month ka magsasacrifice ng walang sasakyan pero ang kapalit nun kung gagamitin mo ang sasakyan 5 years or more happiness VS magkakasasakyan ka pero lagi mong iniisip na within this year or so "paano kung?....". i have the same dilemma sayo sir ngayon pero im willing to wait dahil yung stress na lagi kong iniisip na hindi ko kinuha yung mazda 3 ay mas expensive kaysa maghintay lalo na sa pagkain napupunta yung stress!(magastos kumain lagi sa labas) hehe..

sa case ko kasi 2 months na rin ako and still waiting for my m3 to arrive. muntik na masira sasakyan ko tapos wala ng aircon pero ang solution ko in case masira at kailangan ko ng car willing ako mag uber,rent a car (in case out of town), taxi, grab car, kung maari mag jeep or tricycle pwede rin. pwede rin contratahin yung mga uber kung need magpasundo.

i suggest wait mo sir isipin mo nalang hindi ka nagiisa! and swerte nalang tayo may capacity tayo bumili ng sasakyan yung iba nakikipagsiksikan sa bus mrt mas mahirap yun!! pero tayo oras nalang ang kalaban. I know it will be all worth it once nasa driver seat ka na.

+1 on what brothah Geo S said. You are a true hero & champion of weary Mown3rs-to-be, Joseph sir. Thank you!

[travajante]

Well, di ka pa naman basted ng kotseng nililigawan mo. Sabi nga ni Lola Nidora, antayin ang tamang panahon~~~~

Gaya ng sabi mo, parang nanliligaw ka rin sa lagay mo ngayon. Kung mahaba pasensya mo, sasagutin ka ng nililigawan mo. Ganyan din sa kotse, konting tiis tiis lang, mapapasaiyo din yan. Hindi lang talaga ngayon ang tamang panahon, ika nga...

How badly mo ba kelangan ng sasakyan? Baka naman may iba kang alternative? Ako sasabihin ko talaga sa iyo na mahirap pag nagsisi ka sa bandang huli.

Another tip para matulungan ka, message Mazda Philippines sa facebook. Sasagot yan sila at malaki ang maitutulong nila sa pag-acquire nila ng sasakyan mo. Sabihin mo lang ang mga nangyari sa reservation mo at willing ka nilang tulungan.

Well said, testa brah. Key would be for all the helpful here to knock at every door persistently....I'm sure one of those will finally open & see you thru, Ollie sir.

A WARNING to those afflicted by TEINitis....Some dealerships have really good sense of humor.:D

"Dealer: Lowering your car broke your speaker"

Conversation shared by a real Mown3r, Mr. Clay:

"So I've had issues with my driver side door Bose speaker losing audio for long periods of time. I took it to the dealer and it was replaced under warranty, only to find it out again the next day after starting the car.

Dealer was wary and said they weren't likely to replace it again-- something else must be causing it. I said it was the amplifier.

Took it back yesterday to get addressed again, hopefully with a real solution. And I get a call today.

Dealer: "Uh did you lower your car?"
Clay: Yeah, why?
Dealer: " Well your lane departure warning is now off to the right."
Clay: Ok. It hasn't given me problems.
Dealer: "The lane departure uses the left speaker for alerts. There was a notice out from Mazda that lowered vehicles might cause problems with that."

Clay: Alarms start going off in my head... so what you're telling me is that me, lowering my car, somehow through a supplemental system, "might" have caused my speakers to fail.
Any bets that I will get a warranty cancellation because of this?
Might as well sell the car if that happens."

Hmmmm, either forfeit speaker claim or be cured of TEINitis? Wait...good thing we don't have Lane Departure Warning...or do we????Hahaha.:D

[travajante]

I agree with Sir Trav! Fortunately I only had to wait for 13 days for a unit but already sold my previous car a week prior so I've been carless for 20 days which I'm not used to. But after sitting on your actual unit and driving it off the showroom, that feeling of happiness and foolish grin won't leave your face for a long time.

Sir OliverS,

If the reason for not being able to wait a little longer is really that important, you can settle for another car. But if you do that, you might regret it for the years to come.

"Good things come to those who wait."

We are just looking out for you, Ollie sir. Cars aren't cheap to risk regrets. Ending up w/ the car you love will have profound benefits beyond anything monetary.

The M3:
-doesn't need growing on you
-will always earn that 2nd,3rd,4th glance as you walk away
- is the perfect traffic jam & long drive companion.
-will encourage you to take the looong way home.
-washes will be voluntary & stress relieving.
-errands will be longed & deliberate.
-modding will be orgasmic.👍
-brethren & family are a mixed bag of youthful energy & settled composure; wisdom & insanity; humor & sincerity....above all, here are passionate Mown3rs who truly look out for each other.

Not many cars can do that. Need I say more?
It'll take more than coincidence for cars & people like these to come around & gather respectively, Ollie sir. I've been around & they don't happen very often. Grab this chance by the throat & never let go.....Regrets haunt & torment....we don't wish you those, but pray for patience....The reward will be well worth it.😊

Guys,

I have confirmed my order of M3 and have started giving instructions to my agent like to not put holes on the plate holder (will get Santi's plate relocator) and my preference for the coding day. To my surprise, the agent told me that LTO doesnt allow selection of plate's ending number anymore. Is this true? We always got the coding day we wanted on our older cars. It would be useless to get a new one with the same coding day.

Exactly my sentiments sir :/ 2 of ours have ending 3. Then my cousin who just got 1 (which i can borrow anytime) also has 3 ending conduction. Mine is 4 (if m3 wasn't hard to get hands on I would choose another ending conduction) so we're all stuck during Tuesday's. Requested for ending 7 or 8 but as per MQA, all plates daw are selected at random na unlike before the other option is to pay 35k which I wouldn't even if I could (really couldn't [emoji39]) so I'm still hoping for a miracle of having a thur coding.

I know sir travs.. ughh I really want this badly. My SA said he will try his best to look a unit for me. Sabi ko kahit anong color or body na basta M3, hopefully car gods answer my prayers

Pahirapan ngayon sa supply ng plates so dealers have to take what is available.

Allow faith some room to operate, Ollie sir. You'll get your M3Sky....We're all rooting for you.

Haha, to be sure it'll be no Maxx, get the hatch, Ollie sir.:D
