agree ako dito...

yesterday, I saw 2 "modern cars" na naka set up

A Corolla HEV (morning) and new Civic (evening)

Both cars were lowered (yung di mahulugan ng piso) with skirts and Borla exhaust.

I even told my wife... pangit pala ng hybrid na naka Borla. namamatay yung tunod ng muffler.

Then I realized... when was the last time you saw a current gen car na naka-set up? nung 90's and early 2000's kasi, parang ang normal lang ng naka-set up na car sa University Belt. nyayon, halos sa car show ka na lang makakakita.

I grew up fixing my own car (nasa PUV business kasi kami and my dad believes na "dapat alam mo gumawa")

When I started working... mura lang pala PMS. matulog na lang ako kapag weekend.

presennt day - we can no longer fix our cars...

I bought a Vespa para may kinukutingting pa din ako... later I found out na computerized din pala sya. And yung advanced diagnostics tool nya is subscription based...

kaya in 2024 - bumili ako ng bike! para magamit ko pa din tools ko...

2025 - na-flat yung bike. and I learned na mura lang pala kung sila na magpapalit ng tube ng tires ko...

so yes, pati bike ko ngayon. shop na din gumagawa
