Happy New Year folks! To kick start 2010, I will share with you my experiences with the Volvo S80, first generation.

Last Christmas day I went home to the province with my sister and we went home in style. In a white Volvo S80, a mid-sized sedan that comfortably seats five people, that has rear air condition vents with automatic climate control system. Pretty neat, I thought. Continue reading »

Ondoy was here and the floods caught us all by surprise. If your car was caught in the flood, don’t fret. It’s not as bad as you think. First things first. Do you have insurance? Does it cover “acts of God”? Good if it’s comprehensive. Enough reading for you, just pick up the phone and call the insurance guys. Continue reading »

Last June, I traveled to Manaoag, Pangasinan to have my new delivery van blessed. It was also the first time I was going to drive through SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway). I loved traveling through this highway because there were less cars and the scenery is relaxing. A lot of greenery can be seen and this just relaxes any motorist. The downside is that you need to make sure you have enough gas because there are no gas stations at any point along SCTEX. Well, not for now. I believe fast food joints will soon mushroom on this highway. Continue reading »

Don’t you just hate it when your car window goes down and doesn’t come up? This happened to me when I was driving to NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) on my way to Bulacan. So I lowered my window to pay the initial P36.00 toll fee that would get me as far as Bocaue exit, beyond which I would have to an incremental fee (but that’s another story). After I got my ticket and tried to close the window, I heard a crunching sound and that’s it. It wouldn’t roll up again! So in the heat of the afternoon sun, I had no choice but to have the strong breeze blow into my face all the way until Bulacan. I drive a Nissan, and we all know Nissan is famous for it’s Calsonic cool airconditioning system. Unfortunately, I had to come home feeling sticky and humid that day. Continue reading »
