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

[111prez]

even in stockholm, sweden, a volvo xc 90 is being used as a taxi. in addition, also some higher end volvos, mercedes benzes and bmws are used as taxis

so what's the big deal? i think its all ego, more than anything else

so what if my ride is also used as a taxi. at least may sasakyan ako. marami sa ating kababayan ay walang sasakyan

I'll laugh hard when i see a car same as mine being used as taxi... if i have super dooper money i'll make this a taxi... para magulat yung mga tao... confiscate kaya nila?

[mrpink]

... yung mga ilan taxi operator kasi dito ... hindi marunong mag-alaga ng mga unit nila ... kaya mukhang dilapidated at mukhang mumurahin ... car owners which work hard to get a car of the same model might feel bad kasi biglang cheapened ang ride nila ...

Sa sobrang daming cars that look like mine on the outside (silver vios), one being used as a taxi doesn't get to me anymore. however, i did make some mods to make it look different both inside and outside.

Its one of the reasons why we got a W123 and W124 because of their proven reliability not only as taxis but also in other fleet operations.

Wala namang problema sa akin kung may Pajero na taxi. So what?

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.

oh man. kakahiya yun ahahaha.

well, baket nga ba? ayaw nila mapagkamalang driver sila ng taxi?? or feeling nila na pang taxi lang pala mga rides nila. hehehe

prestige my ass...

in HK & Singapore... the 5-series & E-class are used as such.

[nugundam93]

i like bongers' post.

yeah, they should be flattered that taxi operators choose their car, that means they believe in the reliability and quality of the car.

[ozcity]

naku dami kong kilalang ganito.. ..kahapon nga nakakita ako ng previa na high end..heheh taxi..

[mazdamazda]

bagay naman ha...

[nugundam93]

m2: onga eh, the vios still looks great even in taxi guise.

i'll never ride one again though, sikip for me eh. i'll stick with the 'rollas. ;)

[bilog]

I don't mind seeing my car being used as a taxi. When i was in college i drive an ae111 xl pa. I just made some mods on it to make a difference. Siguro kaya mabenta toyota corolla xl that time is because of its reliability and durability. Isipin nyo kung gaano katinding torture ang naranasan ng taxi everyday.

Yung mga ayaw makita na naging taxi ang auto nila eh masyadong nagiinarte... Sabi nga ng tita kong balikbayan mayayabang daw talaga ang mga pinoy.

[mcbry]

only in the philippines.

sa ireland, i saw a lot of honda civic & benz na ginagamit as taxi.

i agree with nugundam93 and bongers' post.

[karlbo]

[artpogi]

marami lang talaga maarte na Pinoy.

[ozcity]

lagot ka sa mga naka vios.. ..joke

[nugundam93]

ozcity: not that i don't like the car, in fact, i like it, yun lang talaga, di ako kasya sa vios eh. sagad knees ko against the dash kahit adjusted na yung seat. hehehehehe...

magpapayat na kaya ako...? :lol:

[BlueBimmer]
