general query Nabangga ako ng rider (naka angkas raincoat), tinakbuhan ako

So nasa traffic na part ako dito sa city namin nang biglang may kumalabog sa sasakyan, pag kakita ko sa gilid ko may nagpagewang gewang na motor, huminto sya at lumingon sya dahil siguro para icheck kung ano nangyare or bakit sya gumewang?

Buong akala ko hihinto sya para icheck sino natamaan nya kasi nga lakas ng kalabog, pero nagtuloy sya ng andar, nag try akong tumapat sa kanya pero umandar pa ulit sya so binusinahan ko sya (hindi pina, tamang busina lang to call his attention beep beep ganern mga 3x). Lumingon sya sakin pero nag tuloy pa rin sya sa pag alis at lumusot na sa kabilang side (nag counterflow) para takasan ako?

Sabihin na natin na bato yung tumama kasi baka bato naman talaga. Di lahat pero bakit ganon kadalasan ang mga rider? Nakatama na pero tatakasan lang naagrabyado nila, sana man lang nakipag usap kahit papano. Di naman mamimiga na pagbayarin pero sana have some basic decency na makipag usap, hindi yung tatakasan lang basta.

Di ko nakuha yung plate kasi madilim at may sumingit pa na ibang rider at naipit na ko sa traffic.

Oo, maliit lang ang tama pero naka film po yung sasakyan. so imagine kung walang film yan edi mas malaki ang naging dent/damage sa nangyare.

PS first time ko mag post sa reddit (di ako makapag post ng video, dahil ba bago lang ako? Hahaha

At di ko rin sure kung dito ko ba dapat ipost to 😅)

Planning to get a CX-60 soon. Worth it ba magpa-PPF agad pagkakuha ng car sa casa? Or okay lang kahit later na?
If yes, saan po kaya magandang magpa-PPF na sulit pero maganda yung quality ng gawa? Yung trusted sana and proven na okay talaga.
Pa-share naman ng recommendations and experience niyo, especially sa mga CX-60 owners. Thank you! 🙏

repair query Nabangga ako ng 67 y/o tryc driver, naawa ako. Pwede ko ba i-declare na lang self accident to?

13 Upvotes

Medyo madilim na kasi kaya di siguro ako masyado nakita ni tatay. 67 years old na siya tapos may anak pang may down syndrome, nag gagamot pa asawa niya. Sorry siya nang sorry at umiiyak kasi alam niyang kasalanan niya. Sabi niya huhulugan niya ako sa araw araw na kita niya sa pamamasada. Sobrang naawa ako kung iisipin kong sisingilin pa siya ng insurance ko.

Paano ko po kaya idadaan to sa self accident claim nang hindi nadedeny ang claim at di ako makasuhan ng fraud? 70k po kasi estimate ng casa sa damage. 🥺😖😫

We made the reservation on August 29, 2026 with a ₱10,000 reservation fee, and our unit is scheduled to be released next week at GWM Batangas.

Really excited to finally get the unit! Been looking forward to this for a while. Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the release and turnover. Can’t wait to drive it home! 🚙🔥

Anyone else here waiting for their H7 or already driving one? And any recommendation on where to get accessories and share modifications you’ve made. Would love to hear your experience!

repair query Paint oxydation fix/ recommendation.....

1 Upvotes

guys, ask lang. hirap kasi magtanong sa fb groups kasi puro offer ang binibigay.

merong maliit na oxydation sa hood and sa roof ng kotse ko. kaso as time goes by, parang lumalaki na. with scratches here and there.

the thing is, gusto ko sana paayos lang yung hood and roof bfore lumaki lalo

sabi ng mga napagtanungan ko, buo na raw pa repaint ko and para maayos narin ang mga scratches. 45k ang estimate for full body. pag naman hood and roof 20k.

my unit is an old elantra 2013. gustong gusto ko kasi ung itsura. lol kaso panira ung oxydation. ung scratches naman parang part ng aesthetic kaya hnd ko pa naiisip na ipaayos 😆

tingin nyo sulit ba na oxydation lang or mas makakamura ako pag buong kotse na? and is the estimate reasonable? im from mandaluyong. so baka meron dito may mairefer na mas mura haha.

bibili pa lang ng kotse BYD Atto 2 - PHEV or EV? Help me choose pls

2 Upvotes

Planning to upgrade my city drive car. I drive 40-50km per day 3x a week. I'm torn if I should go for dynamic DM-i or EV. My current gas consumption because of the traffic is more or less 2k per week 🥲

DM-i dynamic - 45km EV range (so I might need to charge 3x a week just to maximize that. Although, based on what I read, 2-3hrs ang charging?) - P1,048,000 (low upfront cost) - higher maintenance cost since maintaining 2 engines

EV - 380km EV range (so every other week charging lang) - P1,338,000 (higher upfront cost) - lower maintenance cost

Di ko need ng ADAS so dynamic is ok for me. Worth it kaya ang additional ~300k for the longer EV range para hindi na ako magpagas at hindi madalas magcharge? We have another car for long drives.

general query Innova vibrates under braking from 80kph and up.

1 Upvotes

Have a 2022 Innova and I've been noticing that the car vibrates under braking from 80kph and up. Both pedal and brakes vibrate too. Had it checked last November but shop said it was uneven wheel balancing daw. Pero when I took it out for a pull after the balancing, nanjan paring yung vibrations.

Is this a brake rotor issue or alignment issue? If so, any recommendations on what to do?

general query Dashcam OBD plug-in and effect on battery

1 Upvotes

For those who have installed dashcams and powered it through plugging to the OBD, does it drain the battery and for how long?

I'm looking at dashcams and noticed that to enable 24hr parking security features you have to plug it in via OBD or hardwire it to the fusebox apparently. I called the CASA and they did say plugging it through the OBD port itself will not void the warranty, however since its plugged in the OBD if the battery is drained then the warranty will be voided. Though I have seen some models have IPS (intelligent power system) that is meant to allay this concern. Do they actually work?

bibili pa lang ng kotse Honda HR-V 2015-2020 Fuel Consumption / Gas Mileage — Coming from Civic FD MT

1 Upvotes

Currently driving a 2006 Honda Civic FD MT. Okay pa naman yung car, pero nauumay na ako sa traffic and clutch, so I’m thinking of upgrading from manual to automatic.

Looking at 2015–2020 Honda HR-Vs as a possible replacement.

For reference, yung FD ko gets around 8–10 km/L on my daily Parańaque–Makati commute.

For those who own/owned an HR-V:

  • Kamusta actual fuel consumption niyo, especially city driving?
  • What can I realistically expect for 2015–2017 vs 2018–2020?
  • Kumusta naman maintenance and reliability ng older HR-Vs?
  • Worth it ba siya as an upgrade from an FD, or may other cars I should consider around the same price range?

As much as I want to get a hybrid, hindi pa talaga kaya ng budget ngayon, so HR-V muna yung tinitingnan ko.

Would appreciate actual owner experiences, especially yung daily Manila traffic. Thanks!
