Special Plates

[uls]

personal opinion ko lang naman yun

and off-roader lang ginamit kong example (madali kasi) pero ako din naman noon. unang pinapalitan ko is mags, from 13-14 to 15-17 (2000s)

and yes, I agree na madaming nagpalit ng Spoon mags... madami din bumili ng 2nd hand and fake.

***
pero... whenever I see a Vios or Eon (from the Baduy thread), naiisip ko na Vios GR sana gusto nya or Jazz (for the Eon). kaso nabitin sa budget.

Earlier modders had to buy real spoon or rays from japan coz there weren't Rota imitations yet

Later nagkaroon ng rota so naging affordable for middle income car enthusiasts

Anyway, point lang is when one buys a new car and wala pa ilan araw nagpalit na ng mags it's a sign may extra money ung owner

Same lang may extra money pang special plates

Discretionary spending yun

naalala ko yung joke nung college ako (90s)...

drive mayaman -> naka aircon ka pero nakabukas yung windows.

[ale828]

yun nga eh... pero "no assurance". kami din dati, we requested na Thursday, nakuha naman namin.

kaya maningil na lang sila, at least may peace of mind yung car buyer.

True.
kung malas ka sa numbers, special plates na lang nga para sure.
a friend who has 2 cars with a monday and thursday coding.
He requested na wag 1 or 2 (Monday coding)
nung dumating yung plates, Thursday coding.

Here check the update at the end of the article. The ban on covers are only for the new plates.

some years ago, the LTO had its chance to ban plate covers completely.
they flubbed it, by allowing "protectors" over older number plates.

thus,
only new black-and-white plates are not allowed to be covered by even clear plate covers.
but it appears, no one is enforcing this law...

I support plate protectors.. daling masira nyan low quality plates naten... kung maayos database ng LTO pwede magamit sa enforcement.. pero wala eh.. bulok supplier.. bulok system

my "new plates" on my car are eight years old now, and they still look as good as the day they were first installed.
they're not "inferior", in my opinion.

but even with the old plates, there are those na "nananadya" or "burara", for reasons known only to them.

my opinion, of course.

Problem dyan sa plates eh pag may sumabit na dumadaan.. nangyare na sa akin yan, sumabit pants ko sa plate, ayun butas pants ko tumupi plates nya.. sure pag inunat nya yun may mark na or pag minalas, maputol

Yung sa red plates issued in our office, kumupas naman yung red tint.. kaya nilagyan na lang ng pa pula ng mga drivers namin..

Yung '90 plates ang matibay.. kasi parang baked yun.. aside sa naka emboss, meron parang ceramic material na naka patong sa alpha numeric characters tsaka makapal yung aluminum plates na ginamit

New plates are a good reminder to not wade thru water.[emoji4]

At least we can assume they were able to cross the flood noh?

Oo nga naman.

If the flooding & current were strong enough to rip a plate off a vehicle, losing the plate would be least of the driver's concerns at that moment. I've read an off road magazine article warning drivers about crossing water, as the deceptively placid current may actually be strong enough to wash away the whole vehicle.


Yung mga NCR floods we're used to here, usually stagnant water lang kasi.

[yapoy86]

But the recent flooding at slex alaska, they floated like toys eh.. so scary yun.. will let the car idle na lang

One of the plates came with its protector, which apparently did not prevent it from detaching from the bumper.

[cityfolk]

Mukha namang hindi masyadong damaged yung mga new plates eh. Tingin ko undersized yung bolt head na ginamit kaya lumusot doon sa oblong na butas. Dapat yan nilagyan din ng washer para mas malaki kinakapitan ng bolt.

[yapoy86]

Dapat kasing laki ng piso yung washer mo dyan.. hehe standard bolt and washer pwede lumusot yan once mag bend yung plate.. tsaka madalas front bumper eh plastic, so screw lang pwede mo gamitin.. not the nut & bolt combo kagaya sa rears
