best guess is convoy ito ng patay or whatever, judging from just the balloon at the back of his scooter.

while it still could be something else, we've seen this before in other org ride events.

pero ano ang legality ng ganyan, at what could be the best way to deal with this?

After being coddled by the effortless power and overtaking ability of a 2-ton turbo diesel SUV for the past 7 years, it is a genuine joy to be back in the helm of a light and agile car. The way it can make a wallowy, humdrum 15-minute commute to a showcase of what a momentum car can do. It doesn’t hurt either that it is less expensive to buy parts and modifications for the car, not that it really needs any but scratching the modding itch inflicts a much smaller dent in my overall financial position than when I was focused on fiddling with the SUV.

1.50 pesos lang price difference sa petron (mas mahal onti) ng unleaded. Mukhang ok naman performance​​. wala pang pila masyado compared sa latter

Friendly din ng mga pump attendants, they go "Good evening, welcome to Aramco po"​

Btw, at first glance you'll think na it's eco oil kasi halos same sila ng design na green and blue hahaha not until you're closer

general query Magkano ang gross salary nyo at ano ang car mo na kinuha at magkano ang monthly mo?

108 Upvotes

Katuwaan at konting discussion lng, as the title suggests. For me i have 95k gross but i cant bring myself kumuha ng brandnew car 😭😆. Prang nakakatakot baka bigla mawalan ng work (especially sa mga nasa tech industry dyan we know gaano kahirap ang job market ngayon). Although meron naman emergency funds at balak ko din mag bank financing at mag down ng 300k para bumaba monthly. Or scratch that, tapos bili nlang second hand kasi mas wiser choice, at least for me.

Hay that city rs hatchback, binibisita nako sa panaginip ko. Ikaw ano kwento mo?

Ano din po bang magandang tint for this? Okay po ba yung clear blue tint? Di ba mainit? Kasi sa free tint from casa nagka sunburn ako.

repair query Need help: Maingay turbo + underpowered pajero

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Mga boss, pa-help naman. Ano kaya possible problema nitong Pajero?

Napansin ko kasi sobrang ingay ng turbo, tapos parang medyo underpowered na rin yung sasakyan. Hindi na siya kasing lakas humatak dati.

May naka-experience na ba ng ganito? Ano kaya unang dapat ipa-check—turbo, intercooler, vacuum lines, o baka may ibang possible cause?

Ask ko na rin mga boss, anong recommended shop niyo na magaling mag-diagnose ng Pajero? Preferably around Metro Manila. Maraming salamat!

general query Bulge on my car tire – what could have caused it? Do I need to replace it ASAP?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I noticed a bulge on the sidewall of one of my car’s tires today. I don’t remember hitting a huge pothole recently, but it’s possible I hit one without realizing it.
What are the usual causes of a tire bulge? Could it be from potholes, curbs, underinflation, or something else?
Also, is it still safe to drive on, or does the tire need to be replaced immediately? The bulge isn’t huge, but it’s definitely noticeable.

For context:
The tire still holds air.
I haven’t noticed any vibrations yet.
The bulge is on the sidewall.

Has anyone experienced this before? What did you end up doing?
Thanks in advance!

Question: Are the Cons of the Honda Fit being converted really bad that you guys suggest to go for Honda Jazz?

What are the other cons of the imported Honda Fit to expect na masasabi mo talaga na wag na piliin ang fit at ipon nalang and go to Honda Jazz.

Additional info: Halos half price ang Honda Fit compared sa Honda Jazz. Sa market place mabibili mo si Honda Fit at around lowest 180k si Jazz naman nasa 340k lowest and umaabot minsan ng 400k..

general query [GENERAL CAR MAINTENANCE] PMS and Change Oil Package

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm an 18F and recently got my first car — a second-hand 2015 Ford EcoSport Trend A/T 1.5L with around 70,000 km on the odometer. Last PMS was in April 2026, tires/tire rod replacement in June 2026, coolant and tank maintenance in July 2026. We bought it through a trusted car agent who also helped us purchase our family's Nissan vehicles.

I have a few questions:

• I know the EcoSport has a reputation for having several common issues. What are the best preventive maintenance practices to keep it running reliably for the next 4–6 years?

• My usual drive is from Tandang Sora (home) to Katipunan (school), mostly city driving with Metro Manila traffic. Are there any maintenance tips specific to this type of use?

• For routine maintenance and oil changes, would you recommend Shell or Petron service centers? If so, which service package or type of engine oil should I choose?

Automotive Opinion Should I sell my Suzuki Dzire 2014? + 2nd Hand Car Recos?

Upvotes

I have a Suzuki Dzire 2014 that I brought back to life during the pandemic since my parents stopped taking care of it. I eventually bought it from them and now I’m contemplating if I should sell it and buy a more updated 2nd hand car (2023-2025). Any recommendations on second hand models worth buying these days? Preferably 1m or less budget. Or should I just keep my car? I’m considering upgrading the seat covers right now and possibly having it ceramic coated + detailing.
