    My in-laws also told me that the cuz of my wife decided to buy a car also (happy for her actually as she worked hard from scratch) but their old house (which is the ancestral house) has no parking so i'm willing to bet their gonna use our garage.
    My brother is guilty of parking his car on the street because he's just lazy to park inside. He comes in and out kasi. One instance our drunk neighbor (who he hates) hit his car The parts had to be ordered abroad and it was quite pricey. I think our neighbor learned his lesson, not so much my brother.

    Okay lang if you have enough for your needs, eh kagaguhan na rin yung dami. They also work nearby so in the morning, labas lang sa kalye yung mga kotse as most of the time they just walk then igagarahe ulit at night.

    If you have a large subdivision road, the issue isn't as great. When we still lived at our family home, I would always park inside and would only leave the car outside when i will only be home for a few minutes.

    heaven forbid, but...
    ma-sikwatan lang yan ng side mirror, and that's probably the last time owner will park outside.

    I think it's ridiculous to use a car as a status symbol if the home doesn't have enough space to park all their cars.

    i think that is precisely the point. they have so many cars, they ran out of garages...

    i have had as many as 4 cars in the garage, years ago..
    it's nothing to be proud of, considering how much trouble i had, cleaning them cars on a regular basis...
    i hated weekends then...

    If you can't provide parking space/garage for your car, hindi ka mayaman. Mayabang ka. At magulang for using the street as your parking.

    hey hey! let's hear it from the government!
    "you want to buy a car, first show me your garage."
    let's make "no parking on public roads" the default rule... punishable by heavy fine... and outright confiscation after strike 3...
    let's start at quiapo.

    If they are causing inconvenience to their neighbors then they should construct more parking space or move to another home

    I don't see it as a status symbol if you don't have enough space for your cars no matter how many. If you can afford a dozen cars, surely you can afford a bigger space.

    A few blocks away from us, another house has all their cars parked outside until they finally bought the adjacent lot. Wala pang cover or anything though so naka-bilad yung 124 E-class, Volvo S80 and E46 BMW niya (panay second hand though). In another subdivision, there used to be a big house but the owner built it and parked the cars (Porsche, H2, MBs, etc) as if it was a showroom (display na display yung mga kotse when you pass by).

    In our case, it's just our two Toyotas when were there for the weekend, but at least we have a covered, tiled and gated garage.

    All this time, CGMA was under hospital arrest at VMMC due to her medical condition.

    Now that all the cases have been junked, and she is set to be released, she is raring to go home for dinner and doesn't need to be hospitalized any more.

    It's a miracle!

    This may sound bigoted but a lot of kapampangans (I'm not saying all) are known for being flashy and mayabang. Even my few kapampangan friends admit to it

    Ilocanos and Bulacenos are the nicest people I know.
