Looking good while driving frugally

On an early Sunday morning, I loaded my wife Shawie (she was my navigator) and my daughter Vette (she’s my good-luck charm) into the BMW 120 and proceeded to the Shell station at Fort Bonifacio. On the way there, I diced with a driver of a Ferrari Maranello 550 who must’ve been irked that a 4-cylinder German hatchback dared to challenge his V-12 Italian GT machine on EDSA. I overtook the silver GT on the bridge in Guadalupe but he stormed pass me after the Rockwell overpass. Duh! Driver, wife and daughter in a 5-door 4-banger against a single occupant in a two-seat twelve-cylinder GT — you do the math. Of course, I lost! But he had a hard time shaking me off his tail. And besides, we were turning into the Fort anyway… (Kids, please don’t try this at home. Racing is done by professionals and should only be held in a controlled environment.)

Still smug from the impromptu road race .....................

Find it absurd he comments "racing is done by professionals and should only be held in a controlled environment"

Whoever is the editor of this paper should have edited or totally trashed this article, street racing is ILLEGAL, whether you have an econobox or a Ferrari.

Kaya dumadami mga gago magmaneho diyan sa atin e, dahil mga "motoring journalist" kuno e imbes na tungkol sa road courtesy, manners ang isulat e kung ano anong kabulastugan pa.
