Mahal kita, Pilipinas, dahil araw-araw kitang pinili; at araw-araw kitang pipiliin.

Pag mahal mo, di mo susukuan. Pag may nang-a-api sa mahal mo, ipaglalaban mo sya. Pag malungkot ang mahal mo, aawitan at aaliwin mo sya.

Pag sinabi nating mahal natin ang Pilipinas, gagawin natin ang lahat.

@addict_car I will miss your tweets. I will be anticipating the day you decide to come back.

[Kirby Simentong Matibay | 🎀 @templesfugit]

@addict_car Ah, yes. The Mitsubishi Adventure, the long-time competitor of the Toyota Tamaraw FX and the Toyota Revo. It bowed out in 2017, a decade after the latter and 16 years after the former.

@byungerking Primos, pass the Batata de Marechal please! #Brazilippines

@addict_car For most of the 1990s and the early 2000s, they were the service vehicles of choice of the PLDT, the country's leading phone service provider.

They did not only duplicate it, but a lot of people emulated the life you went through. And that is exactly why this country finds itself in this mess.

@prepud504 @addict_car Or a Riley Elfsuoka, if you will. 😁

[Kirby Simentong Matibay | 🎀 @templesfugit]

@addict_car IMHO, that should've been sold here in the PH.

[Kirby Simentong Matibay | 🎀 @templesfugit]

@addict_car As a Scimitar GTE fan, I think (if they only played their cards right) Reliant could've carried on, much like how Morgan continues to this day.

@addict_car CAR Magazine's verdict on the 412 in '76 (as quoted by C&SC in their April '94 issue) is seared in my mind: "Never before - or since - have we given one star. A joke. Avoid." But it seems like a fun car to own and drive.

Self-care.

@addict_car @jenkspl64 I actually like the recycled '60s oldie a lot more.

[Kirby Simentong Matibay | 🎀 @templesfugit]

@addict_car Apart from them being a perfect fit with the transmission, that must be why we kept being told to just put Stellar (or Mitsubishi Saturn) engines in our Cortina if we were having trouble sourcing parts for the "Pinto" engine.

@addict_car They used to have a brand for each market segment, much like how GM did/does things in the US. Now, it's just Chevrolet.

[Kirby Simentong Matibay | 🎀 @templesfugit]

@addict_car Chevrolet was pretty much the same here as they were/are in the 'States, and Isuzu was the cut-price version for the common man.

@addict_car In the PH, the Kia Pride picked up where the VW Beetle left off, it was the 1st car for many yuppies and start-up families back in the '90s. This brochure is from '00-'01, touting the benefits of the bare bones Pride CD5 variant.

[Kirby Simentong Matibay | 🎀 @templesfugit]

@addict_car The 4DR sedan version was sold in the PH as the Pride LX. It came with a 1.1 liter engine, power steering, a digital clock, a radio w/4 speakers, and power windows/locks on the front doors as standard. This brochure is from '92, the 1st year it went on sale.
