Why do people hate it when their car model is used as taxi

[badkuk]

hmm..actually, i'd be glad if my (fictional) car's being used for taxis -- the more, the better. that means all the auto shops will be stocking up a lot of spare parts for that model, so parts are easy to find and real cheap B). on the other hand, prime candidate naman for carnapping. and chop chop. yikes!

ahehehe
kme we have a crosswind XT...
mga xwind mron naring taxi.
Minsan if gamit ko un, niloloko ko mga bagong sumasakay dun:
"bayad ho! 10 pesos lang!"

[inlook]

oo nga, bakit ka ba mahihiya kung pang taxi yung model ng kotse mo. di ba isa lang ibig sabihin non, na dependable at reliable auto mo?

[zechs]

oh im one of these persons! hahaha ewan ko ba? unlike dati na may isuzu gemini na for taxi talaga...not like this na mayroon minsan lancer pizza na high-end ginawang taxi, or vios(es) na ginawang taxi..i mean meron pa namang AE111 na corolla xl for taxi di ba? hmm...bakit nga ba?

its a point of prestige of owning a car that is not used as a taxi.

Actually the same thing happened in Singapore when a taxi company used M.Benz units as taxicabs. A lot of people who owned Benzs complained.

in europe, the hi-end MBs are used as taxis....in japan, the toyota crown majesta (the most expensive crown variant), the nissan cedric and the mazda 929, all of them are hi-end variants, are used as taxis and nobody complain. in fact, in japan, if your taxi is a low-end one, most likely the japanese passenger will have a lot of complain specially when they requested for a hi-end one.

[pissword]

eh sa ibang bansa nga tulad ng sabi nila european countries and first world countries except the states eh mga high end cars ang taxi... wala namang nag rereklamo. pangit kasi tingin natin sa taxi dito

advantage nga yun eh..

in the future, marami kang spare parts, kagaya ng pinto, fender... at mas maraming low-end talyer ang magkaka-experience sa kotse na yun.

[carlocaraddict]

kasi daw parang nadedegrade yung ride nila. Well, its only here in the Philippines

Before cruising along Taft Ave. in our FX, a barker tried to flag me down to get passengers, I waved him off, aba nagalit hehehe... deadma na lang ako.

One other time along Baclaran also driving our FX, someone opened our rear door trying to get in, sumigaw ako Huy! Private to! hehehe... pahiya si loko.

This afternoon, while heading our way to Makati, we are cruising Roxas blvd, and noticed a white Toyota Innova. Hindi pa siya tinted, and I am telling to my sis-in-law na iyan ang pinalit nila sa Revo. Napansin lang namin, na loaded ng sakay yung Innova , then pag tapat sa Baclaran chruch, nag labas ng signage na "Lawton" yung driver ng innova.. Ginawa palang pampasada..Hehehe.. sa akin okey lang,, na gawin ito,, dahil ibig sabihin ,,may tiwala ang mga operator nito sa kakayahan ng makina ng mga sasakyang ginagawang public use..
