works for a car and watch mag, trying to be a friend to a Gen Z daughter and slave to 2 (5 in 2023) ex-street cats and 2 (1 more if I can) rescue doggos

@LilCknEater @williamsf1 I don't think so. Albon was still on his second lap and improved on his sector 2. Probably would jump to P7 or higher.

@amnesiaflicker @williamsf1 Next time in F4 you mean?

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

Can’t believe I’m excited to look at a 2011 gen3 CRV soon. It’s been well preserved and only has 19K on the odometer. If i do get it, it would be serendipitous on so many levels.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

I’m going to miss Face ID and iMessage soon…

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@williamsf1 I hope saving a new set of softs for the race pays off.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

Also renewed my AAP membership online. The site has improved quite a lot and they got in touch me quickly to process the renewal.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

Excited for the coming updates Corolla Cross launch. Wanted one before but the foot triggered e-brake was sus. Hope it comes to the PH soon after the Thailand launch.

Going to be an awkward year in Mercedes F1 and Scuderia Ferrari this season. Netflix DTS awkward worthy.

@carguideph On the special plates, I heard it’s been suspended for 2024. On the hybrid exemption, damn hope it doesn’t get cancelled early on if we choose that route. I don’t mind paying a digit facilitation fee as long as we get a car that gets either 1,2,5,6,9 or 0. 🙂

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

Really liking the Mazda CX3. Dated though it may seem, the specs and features fits our third car needs. Will actually save 200K plus over the HRV RS.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@carguideph I know. One thing that we are still figuring out is the LTO’s memo on license plate end digit requests. We’re not looking for a specific day just avoiding T and Th. If being able to request other days is not doable nowadays, have to go HEV.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

Sold our Toyota Rush and looking to replace it with either HRV V turbo (my pick because I wanna be a Honda Boi again) or Yaris Cross HEV (sensible choice). highly likely it’ll be a car for Reese sometime down the line unless 17” SW388 fit the HRV. Or 18” ZE40s for the YV HEV. lol

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@F1 It’s lights out and away (to Abu Dhabi) we go!

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@williamsf1 Probably to check how bad floor damage is. Looking like it’s bad since he can’t catch Mag on hard tires while on softs.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@williamsf1 Lol. The wall wasn’t good enough.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

Waiting in line at a clinic for a visit with an internist. Last month it was with a cardiologist. Life past 50.

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@williamsf1 Maybe this is why he’s talking to other teams…

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@williamsf1 You guys are gambling everything on a 1-stop onto the medium tire? Pretty big gamble

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@williamsf1 Do you still have a set of new softs?

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

@JasonAdelaCruz Ahh. Hope it was fun while it lasted. :)

[JP Calimbas @jayps_c]

Coldplay tickets for a family of 4 would probably cost as much as a set of Brembos….
