    otherwise, para mo nang sinabi na it is the responsibility of the parents to buy their kids a car.
    I meant if they buy their kids a car, they pay for everything that goes with it (maintenance, gas, insurance etc) I assume you were a student then? Kasi if you are working na then you have the salary naman to pay for it than go through the nightmare of push starting a car for 1 to 2 months

    IF po. IF.

    i was a student once. i was an NSDB scholar for the longest time. NaSa Daddy ang Bayad.
    dad didn't buy me a car.
    i commuted.

    i purchased my first car with my hard-earned money. it turned out to be an ex-taxi. blessing in disguise, of sorts. i learned a lot of auto-mechanics from that experience.

    Oh! I had an older car in college. I learned a lot there also, I spent a lot of my weekends at car shops for wear and tear repairs. Pero that car was carb and not much electronics (manual windows, pawis steering etc) Matapang ako to make kalikot or baklas in that car. With newer cars, I don't even open the hood anymore hahaha

    Back to Amaron, thanks to Tsikot, I no longer have to deal with batteries that die one or 2 days after the warranty period I normally stick to brands but glad I made the switch

    nice thing with EFI cars,
    they're so reliable. nothing much breaks down.
    pag nasira (which doesn't happen often), dala talyer.
    so yes, they don't build cars like they used to. they actually build 'em better now.

    nice thing with traditional electromechanical, carburator cars.
    we can do something to them during weekends.
    we used to have a collection of carburator jets of different sizes. we would replace them with varying sizes, to alter their oomph and km/li figures...

    and batteries.
    we used to make tipid on our dead batteries... replacing only the dead cells or rebuilding the entire battery, via the reliable car battery rebuilder mechanic. it saved us a couple of hundred bucks back then.
