    this time, "i got you there".
    i'm only selectively brand-conscious.
    all my clothes are either brand-less or low-end branded. our cars are mass-model toyotas.
    only in my choice of my profession's equipment, am i "branded", and that is because of one practical reason: "it makes my practice easier."

    heh heh.

    Of course! [emoji23]

    Why can't everyone think like you? Very practical!

    Oh i just remembered. Slight OT though.

    I noticed too sa other countries esp sa europe, most people don't care about their cars? I mean ang daming gasgas, daming bangga, and marumi!

    Unlike dito, panay carwash and wax may kasama pang detailing. What do you guys think?

    Is it a cultural thing? Or do europeans just couldn't care less about their appearance? - this i doubt kasi they are very fashionable.

    some folks see cars as tools. others see cars as symbols of status.

    Because cars aren't a big thing for them. Everyone can have one - most do, others choose not to but have the means anyway.

    Here, it's still a sign of achievement. So people tend to have more pride with their cars, kahit pa Wigo yan.

    Another valid point!

    Personally, i used to love my car in an OC level. As in alam ko ilan at saan ang mga gasgas at dents niyan. I also wax it every month.

    But now i see it more of a tool rather than a status symbol. Sure, malakas dating pag naka kotse ka esp pag bababa ka sa matataong lugar pero it's meant to be magasgasan and ma bengkong. So i don't fuss about it that much na.

    Maturity comes with age nga talaga. [emoji4]

    P.s. i still wash and wax my car. And i still love it. Just not the OC kind lang.

    Mga boss ko (VP and AVP) from Europe, they don't care about their cars.

    I enjoy detailing because it's like a hobby to me. It's sort of therapeutic and helps me break a sweat too.

    Wala akong kilala na mahilig mag detail outside of Tsikot, karamihan walang pakialam.

    Because it's that "detailing and OC sa sasakyan thing" that binds us and brought us all together in the first place. [emoji16]

    Hypocrite ako though. I have my car detailed. [emoji23] shhhhh
