Can you help me to defend the car that i want?

[aldskie`]

advice lang tol, kung hindi mo sila mapilit sa gusto mo sabihin mo next time ka nalang ibili. kahit 5mos. para makapag ipon pa ng petaks! it worked for me kasi! heheheh!

Yes dude, pag-usapan nyo ng mabuti ng parents mo. Try to convince them na almost the same lang naman ang nissan and toyota, and if your parents are authoritarian and might say "take it or leave it", aba e, di mag-toyota corolla ka na lang and patulong ka kay Renzo para i-set up at pagandahin ang car mo, hehe!

Ang swerte mo naman dude, bibilhan ka ng parents mo ng car kahit 2nd hand (used) as a gift. Ako, when I bought my car out of my own money, I was still living at my parents' house, sa apartment unit sa likod ng bahay nila, aba e, parating pinagti-tripan ng ermats ko ang car ko kasi daw it's not practical to own a car, ang mahal daw ng maintenance, don lang daw halos nauubos ang pera ko, sinisisi pa si smi kasi akala nya si smi ang may gustong bumili ng car, e, ako naman for me and my family. pero, pinapasakay ko din naman ang parents ko, Bad trip pa sila nong una kasi, nagpagawa ako ng garage sa bahay, nagpagawa ako ng bagong gate, pinasira ko ang garden nila with their consent, ang daming ornamental plants ang dinispose nila non. Kaya nong medyo lumala ang misunderstanding namin, not just because of the car but for many other reasons, i decided to leave their house and rent an apartment. At least ngayon, I'm totally independent. I can do whatever I want without objections/oppositions from my parents.

naku, nag-away pa kayo ng parents niyo dahil dun. hindi din talaga masisisi ang mga parents.

Ganito na lang.. Just say your piece.. Sabihin mo na I like Sentra Because........... then let them decide. Corolla is a good car... Sentra is also good...

When I was still in Collage tinatakas or hinihiram ko lang yung car ng Mother ko a 1992 Lancer Glxi... Its better than riding a jeep during Gimick night... then My mother hand me Her Exsior.. Kahit malakas sa gas ok lang.. then when the time I can afford to buy a Kia Pride... I sold the Exsior and give the money to my Mom... Well Exsior is way better than Kia pero nahiya ako sa Brothers ko eh, kasi ako lang binigyan ng sasakyan ng Mother ko.. hehehe...

Your in a win win situation... may kasabihan "buti nat meron kesa wala" hehehe.. Lets be thankfull sa mga blessing natin..

Make peace not war.. patay ni si Bin Laden...

Agree din ako dito. Siguro pwede mo nga kausapin parents mo na if given the choice, Sentra mas prefer mo. But let them know also that kahit corolla pa bilhin nila, you'd lovingly accept it and be thankful to them. Malay mo pag dinaan mo sa ganun klaseng usapan eh, biglang ma grant ang wish mo. Lahat naman nadadaan sa mabuting usapan bro.

Hold your excitement and thirst for your dream car until you can finally afford it. Trust me, yun yung pinaka masarap na feeling kapag kaya mo na bumili ng oto. You make the rules na ika nga. hehehehe..

Bakit nga ba ayaw niya sa Corolla?

Sa bagay, nung bata pa ako ayaw ko din dun!

But as I met friends who drive them, I learned to appreciate the Corolla and it is indeed a nice car.

Intindihin na natin yung bata, medyo ganyan pa talaga mag-isip yan!

Been there, done that!

Maybe because alot of kids today think of the corolla as 'boring'. Although it maybe true, but when the repair bill gets sent to you, you finally realize what a good car a corolla is. Reliable, built like a rock, and the maintenance is, well, really cheap.

mr snowblind, let me tell you a story.
once, there was this young man who wanted to buy his first car. of course, he couldn't afford the casa types, so he went sunday's bulletin today classifieds. he listed a few.. beetle, escort, toyota, etc. and his dad dutifully drove him around to inspect the cars. a relative mentioned a friend who was selling his corolla fastback. there was even this celebrity's VW. but for some in-explicable reason, he was bent on this 4-door escort. (can you believe that?!)
to summarize, i got truly hands-on education on auto-mechanics, because i got an ex-taxi! undaunted and adventurous, i rebuilt it! it drained me of my hard-earned money, but hey! i learned to overhaul a carburetor at 8 pm infront of the Church! and i brought home my car when the rack and pinion fell apart, using only alambre! (again, another story.)..
i am sure my dad had his misgivings on my choice, but he figured (correctly) that it was a good way to teach me about life without making it appear he willed me to suffer.
my boy, your parents do know something about life and about cars that you only read about while they lived it. listen to them. they have only your welfare in mind. and when you get richer and more powerful as they get weak and feeble, GANTIHAN mo na sila! ibili mo sila ng camry with chauffer!
so when i saw your thread, it brought back fond memories. and my advice to you is something i should have done myself many years ago.
fortunately, my brothers and i were fanatics that we almost turned our house into a talyer.. maybe that's the reason i refuse to go auto shift. i miss push-starting..
so, why did i buy the sentra and not the corolla? because na-out of stock yung xe. so i got the ex. it's still with me, 14 years na. my brothers? one got a lancer, the other a honda. heh heh.
