    1. you feel relax behind the wheel - your car separates you from the stress (work or family related).

    2. you want to race - you enjoy flooring the gas looking at your rear view mirror on high end cars behind you.

    3. you don't have a driver - it more like burden for you to drive (if you have the cash you will hire a driver).

    4. you are the driver - its your job.


    for me, I work from 8:00am upto such time my work allows me to go home, pero max na ung 9:00pm, all the stress nawawala pag nag drive na ako. normally 60kph ang average speed ko, not that slow ako pero un lang talaga ang safe na driving speed sa metro manila (considering traffic at mga lubak sa daan).

    Ikaw, ano ang reason mo kaya ka nag drive today?

    Same. Kasi kailangan pumasok. Although nakakastress nga lang yung mga jeep sa daan saka mga motor na singit ng singit. Minsan gusto ko na lang ng driver para di na umiinit ulo ko sa daan.

    Eto na yo!

    But really:
    1. Necessity (the daily grind)
    2. Enjoyment (long trips or a weekend/holiday drive around the city)

    Before i used to go for track days and fun runs but that is now a thing of the past.

    For me it's really for convenience. If public transport was any easier or more efficient, I'd gladly give it up and just be a weekend driver for when I'm with my family.

    Bakit ako nag- drive today? Simple lang, papasok sa opis eh.

    Pero dumating sa buhay ko na ang dahilan kaya ako nagmaneho "ngayon" ay isa sa 4 na ini- lista mo.
    Marami pang ibang dahilan.... Maraming- marami pa...

    But for now... I drive my car because it is my car.

    Kung madali at convenient lang magcommute, like Singapore, hinde na ako magddrive araw araw.

    Altho sa choices mo, #1 pa rin. Kahit papano, as long as dein traffic, enjoy naman.

    Necessity.

    Because i don't have a driver hehe..

    Still i'd rather have the stress of driving than enduring the stress taking mass transportation.

    And when im with my family? mas confident and i feel safer if im the one behind the wheel.

    Kailangan para sa pagpasok sa trabaho at pag-uwi sa bahay.....

    Buhay CA rito,- sakay na sa sasakyan sa garahe,- pagbaba mo,- trabaho na, mall na, grocery na o kung saan pa... Walang masyadong exercise,- kaya you have to find time for it....

    Primary reason is because I can be very impatient, I really hate to wait, that's why I started driving early.

    I also hate to inconvenience people, I don't want my family or friends to modify their schedule just as so I could be picked up or brought anywhere. I also need to control my schedule and not having a car means adapting your schedule with whoever is bringing the car, or if you're commuting, it's hard to control time naman.

    It would be very convenient to have a personal driver but aside from the cost, ayoko ng may iniintindi. I'd still worry about the driver having to eat on time, wait too long or stay up too late. I also wouldn't want anyone else to know so much about what I do and where I go. We used to have a driver who'd make kwento who I was with and where we went for that day

    mahirap na kasing magmotor dahil sobrang init tapos recently, biglaang umuulan kaya i drive to work.

    but it would be a fulfillment for me kung magkaroon ako ng sarili kong suwelduhang driver some day.

    ako pamasok sa school - mahirap kasi maabutan ng ulan ;)

    and kapag may impotante ka pupuntahan madali ka makakarting at hindi ka mag aalala sa pauwi na wala kang masaskyan ;)

    but it's perfectly ok to ask someone to go from paranaque to makati to change a flat tire for you... at 11 pm

    hehe

    That's different, car trouble naman yun. I was alone at work and I did not have tools in my car. I did not ask for my kuya cousin to go, he told me to wait for him and technically it was the driver that changed the flat tire. I gave his driver a generous tip for the trouble din naman.
