Anyhow, along with these concerns, plus the continuing price hike of several of our basic needs, there is also good news that we should all be happy about, at least. And it’s Toyota, amplifying their...

| My Fave GMC Truck |
| 2008-02-06 02:28:52 |
One summer a couple of years back, I went on a vacation with a couple of my cousins in this one province. I remember the fun times we had going from one place to another in search for something fun. We would go to beaches and mountains and just plain soak up the sun until we were all burnt. When we were in the city, we would go to bars and restaurants and just live it up. We were young then and we just had to live life the way we wanted to. One of the things I wanted to do was drive in this old ...

Good news. Everyone is seeking for good news in the Philippines. That made me recall one school scenario I've never learned to forget. One day, while standing outside our university's Administration Building, a local radio reporter approached our school administrator asking, "What's the good news, Sir?” The latter answered, "Oh, in the Bible there are lots of good news, go and check for yourself!" What do you expect? The seemingly endless disputes among the administration and the opposition...

It is a vehicle which is seen mostly in Mexico City. Its name is actually taken from the fact that the first incarnations of this form of transport charged a flat fee of one peso per ride so it can be considered to be a public utility vehicle. It certainly does not have the Acura CL water pump but it was first seen in 1970. They used it as a PUV. It can take in 5 to 6 passengers at the maximum.

Matter of fact, Porsche and its local importer, stock market boss Robert Coyiuto’s PGA Cars, inaugurated the first ever Porsche Training and Recruitment Center outside Germany. And whe...

Back in the 1900’s, only well-off Filipino personalities were capable of purchasing cars since cars are considered to be one among the luxurious possessions that time. The 1904 Richard-Brasier Roadster was the very first car in the Philippines.

Certainly, it does no...
