Wondering if it's worth it to join ACP (Altis Club of the Philippines).
From what I've seen (as a member of the FB group and forum, as well as one EB), it's really all about talking about mods and other expenses they have or plan to have on their Altis.
I'm perfectly fine with my car and I already know exactly what mods I want if and when I have extra money to splurge. I don't need to be influenced any further. And to be honest not all of their "upgrades" look good to me.
Then there are the fun runs, but I go to Tanay and Subic regularly so it's not really all that exciting for me anymore.
Supposedly there are discounted track days, but I haven't seen any. Just the Vios Cup in Subic this weekend but that's just a short 1 hour run.
Then in the FB page there are a lot of noobie questions it's quite tiring to answer all of them. Especially when there are people who advocate PnP HIDs or people who claim they can do 30 km/L just because their MID said so (without even knowing how to compute via full tank method).
So right now I don't really feel motivated to put in the effort and attend EBs and plan the Newbie's Night and whatnot.

OB, jut703 is not DOM age yet. And I don't think he is the type that is attracted to starlets.

Hinde ba sya DOM, para kasi ang matured Nya magsalita,
Pero honestly, skip those car clubs unless may matipuhan ka na gf / asawa ng isang car club member, parang walang excitement
Sarap Kasi yun feeling na tipong overtake ka sa curve with a fellow club member tapos yun syota Nya may malagkit na tingin sayo or that effect
Exactly! I'm sure a certain "councilor" knows of that.
Im always like, sure go and try stuff but be heck smart about it.
I agree with your observations in general to several "clubs" or groups nowadays. It's pretty much different from what it was back then. One reason why i stuck with tsikot is because it still has that general "old" vibe when it comes to discussing cars amongst some of the members. I learned a lot from a lot of the older car clubs (especially the now defunct Nissabayan) and there we met to work on our cars (meka-EBs), run on the old SIR whether we were in modded sedans or bone-stock cars/trucks (which is why it was amusing to see people "prepping" and modifyin their cars for their first track run when all you need to have fun and be competitive was the basic safety items and a well maintained ride), and just be good friends until we all got older and moved on with our lives. We still see each other as buddies and its good to see that when we do meet, its not always to talk about cars but about our families, jobs, and many other things.
I agree. If I had a daughter, I'd want him to date someone like jutIntelligent, well bred and responsible. Plus he has standards so I know he can't be manipulated by women who have nothing to offer but their looks. Karamihan lalaki makakita lang ng maganda at ***y nawawala na rationality kaya mabilis mauto ng mga starlet

Same experience bro, there are guys who spazz over their suspension and engine mods, then get pummelled by all-stock rides.
I also agree that it's better to be in a club/forum where you can talk about more than just your ride. Even as a car enthusiast, I believe that there's so much more to life than cars. So more than being with people with the same car as you, I think it's better to be with people who have the same wavelength as you.

Well the viber group of the mustang car club I'm in is really funny. Am enjoying it a ton. The members are hillarious.
Try not to generalize.

Yan ang mahirap gagastos ka pa ng 3M parang Lang magkarun ng kaibigan
Dami ko kakilala ganyan, Subaru, mini, mustang club pero maa gusto pa ako kasama. Gusto pa ata I reserve lahat ng Saturdays ko. Sobrang nag-aliibi ako, I just hate talking material things
Adopt a down to earth mentality so that you can meet and learn people from all walks of life

That path is a dead end for me. Aiming for expensive cars just to feel a feeling of belongingness to what upper class mentality that they concoct in their smart heads
I also came from that elite school in Taft, pero sobrang turn off talaga ako aa materialism
Dude. F*ck off. Don't judge me when you don't know diddly squat .I didn't spend 3m to buy friends. That's insulting you amoeba for a brain. Hell that's Insulting for amoebas. They have more IQ than your sorry puddle of slime excuse for intelligence.
I bought a car because I love cars. How dare you judge me just because you throw your opinions around in every thread over here. And to toss around an innane conclusion such as that goes to show that you are a first class troll. I can tolerate your lack of intelligence and absolute lack of class but keep making idiotic generalizations and I will put you down like the mangy dog you are.
Do us all a favor and crawl back under the rock where you came from. Better yet go to syria, join isis and let the allies or the russians bomb the sh*t out of your sorry faggot a$$.
Id like you to meet these club members one day and say what you have to say to their face. You can't hide behind the anonymity of the internet or your hallucinations of a gym fit body. You deserve every mocking condescending comment thrown at you you pond scum low life slime ball turd heap.
Naku nagalit, I'm outta this thread.
Next time na Lang ulit pag may naisip ako , sorry duds

But thanks for the opportunity to air what I think of these elitists so therapeutic
