    Most probably, since I was heading the opposite direction this time.

    I always fill up at the same gas station, which I'm sure has consistently good fuel.

    130-140 kph pa lang ata naaabot kong top speed along STAR Tollway with my wife as passenger.
    SCTEX. I drive hundreds of kilometers on the highway daily so I'm used to it.

    Peace, bro!
    If I had a faster car, edi mas mataas lang din yung top speed. No matter what car I use, I give it a good run on the highway if the road is clear. Slowest car I've pushed on the highway was our 1991 L200, all its 70 hp wailing at 130 kph.

    And yes, there's a law and I don't have any qualms about getting flagged for overspeeding.

    i have been asking myself... so i can drive at xxx kph.. so what? i am sure somebody else can drive at xxx + 1 kph.. again, so what?
    ... letting one's testosterone out from time to time seems to be written somewhere in a rite of passage..
    It's not a pissing contest. Couldn't care less if a faster car overtakes me. Ganito lang talaga ko magdrive. Hindi naman 100% of the time nagtotopspeed ako. Most of the time 100-140 lang, depending on the traffic conditions.

    of course it's a pissing contest! you're contesting with yourself! the "how fast can i go" syndrome.. and you want us to know about it.
    why else would anyone want to announce one's speeding prowess?

    I just posted it here in the same way that I post my FC figures. Just sharing what numbers I get driving my Vios. It's not even brag worthy since anyone can achieve the same speeds with the same car and same road conditions.

    If you think that's showing off, edi wow.

    I think it was not the first time that it was posted that way.
    Anyway, noted (again). Hehehe!

    Ano naman superb dun? There's nothing special about hitting an econobox's top speed. Anyone can do it.

    I just posted because I was wondering why the car doesn't go as fast as it used to, and thanks to EQ's inputs, I realized it could've been the wind direction.

    You're the one making a big deal out of something so mundane.

    Nope, anyone can't do it.

    I myself admit that I can't do it. Sino pa aamin?

    So, you're superb because not anyone can do it. At yung makakagawa non, I think kokonti lang.

    You should have been knowledgeable since you are used to it, as you claimed.

    Ok, edi di mo kaya. No biggie. Again, if you wanna see it as me showing off, edi go. Couldn't really care less.

    Ah dapat ba alam ko na lahat, sorry ah. It could've been myriad of other things - my initial hypothesis was that my oil isn't as good as it was before and the engine needed a good tune-up, but it could just as likely have been due to the weather conditions.

    I'm not sure about the iphone's but a simple MHL to HDMI cable on my nexus4 works out-of-the-box.
    may limit nga lang yung resolution nung mga videos na kaya imirror, upto 720p lang.

    amateur enthusiast posting probably from a nexus device

    Baka nagtatampo. [emoji23]
    Aside from wind/fuel conditions, pwede rin tire inflation I guess.

    Sir, I am indeed impressed with your driving prowess [that you do and can simply hit 195KPH, or 130KPH+ (with a 199X car model)]. I just hope that we can also consider and put this issue to its proper perspective - that driving that fast not only puts the driver in riskier situation but THE LIVES OF OTHER COMMUTERS ARE ALSO PUT AT A HIGHER RISK. It is not about having no worry of possible apprehension.

    I don't do top speed runs when there are other cars around me. I also find that I'm a more dangerous driver when driving at 80 kph because I feel very, very sleepy and my mind easily drifts away since I'm not used to everything being so slow.

    Just today I was driving back to Manila, sticking to 80 kph and I almost fell asleep several times. I'm pretty sure that's more unsafe than my usual 100-140 kph driving where I'm fully alert.

    I'm also sure that I put more thought in all possible mishaps that can happen when I travel at high speeds, compared to most drivers who probably don't even know what to do in case of a tire blow out or loss in traction, even if they're going at much slower speeds.

    I think we've had this discussion in the What's Your Top Speed thread, and my position stays the same - I don't push my car to the limits all the time, but when I do, I consider all possible screw-ups and make sure that I don't harm anyone else in case something goes wrong.

    Question lang po. I've been complaining to Toyota about dun sa tok sound. They already confirmed na meron yung kotse ko sa left side. They already told me na nag place na sila ng order for the lower arm. Pero wala namang binigay sa akin na copy of the job order? Ganun ba talaga yun? My SA told me na pag balik ko na ako makakakuha nung copy ng order? Ang worry ko kasi is baka naman ako naiorder pa?
