    but there were no parts to buy!
    ford phils had just pulled out of the country.
    wala pang lazada or shoppee noon, and certainly no consumer internet.

    one day, during my weekend forays for parts, the shopkeeper had finished saying the now-familiar "wala po" to me,
    he turned to the next costumer, listened to the part needed, and replied,
    "original o taiwan? harap o likod? kaliwa o kanan? ilan gusto mo?"

    then and there, i swore that my next car won't have parts issues.

    yung unang tingin palang sa parts sample na dala mo, sagot agad na "wala kami nyan"

    or kung tingnan man yung part na dala mo, tatanong nila "pang anong sasakyan ito sir"

    pag sabi mo ng brand, mabilis aabot pabalik sayo yung pyesa sabay sabi "wala kami nyan ever..."

    pero now, laking tulong ng internet at shopee lazada.. sana mas madami local suppliers for these parts..

    Yung '96 Legacy ng kaibigan ko tumutunog ang tie rod end. Pumunta sya sa parts store dala ang pyesa. Binigay sa kanya pang Revo. Perfect fit

    When the kalampag begins, its usually the 555/KYB duo to the rescue. 😂

    Back to topic, oo nga noh? Bakit nga hindi innova... Aside from the serious, SERIOUS lack of *** appeal, its actually a very versatile vehicle.

    i liked my first innova so much,
    i got two more.

    and yes, it's ugly.
    but who cares? i don't see the ugly when i'm inside enjoying it.

    personally,
    i find the newer version innova... designed by committee..
    uglier.
    but that's just me.
    heh heh.

    I am mostly on the inside of the car when driving so interior appeal is my prio compare to outside looks.
    As for innova, at least the G variant is my choice if I am to choose one.
