Just Images!

Over a month back we went for a photoshoot. Just me and a few buddies from our car group. We’re mainly car enthusiasts who owns a Toyota Vios. Rented the roof deck parking area of Park Square One at Makati. We even got the chance to snap some panning shots. It feels good having to drive around an empty parking lot at night. Hah! It sure was fun! Good times! Click link below for a few more photos.

What I drive..

Toyota Vios 1.3E

You may notice some photos in the left hand panel, which I would like to call my “primary panel” because it’s, well obviously, better-looking than the right hand panel which goes along with the background. At least to date those are the only photos I’ve uploaded. Anyway going back to the photos, you may notice some cars in it, that’s my Vios. That’s what I drive around the metro to get me from point A to point B. Been driving it for almost two years now and I consider it my buddy, since without it, I might have a hard time finding my way here in Manila. Since, well how fortunate can one get, I’m not really too familiar with the bus routes nor the jeep and even more with the shuttle FX’s.. Though I think I can find my way to the office but then I’d be a mess most probably. This is not to brag or anything, I just want to look at it as being fortunate enough to have lived this lifetime with my parents.. They’ve provided us well enough to give us this life we have now, yet they scold us most of the time – especially during those earlier years, so we don’t get too spoiled and all those things a parent wouldn’t want their child to become. I’m not saying that I’m “the” perfect child, let’s just say I love my parents and I have so much respect for them. Of course these are just some basics.

So ya, going back to the Vios, it’s 1.3E trim, and it being a 1.3 liter engine, it helps me save on my gas money. Well ya the car may be saving me money but I’m not. haha since I got the Vios, from being somebody who stares at his PC whole day surfing the net, to somebody who just can’t seem to stay home. So ya even if the car saves gas with its engine, I’m out there driving myself around the metro knowing that my car saves gas. So same thing. haha In a month if I’m in my right senses, in a month, ahhh I burn about 3k I guess, just on gas.. Or less? I’m not really sure I don’t keep my receipts.. But definitely around that. 😉

The car has gone a long way from those days of being just another all-stock, plain and ordinary vios – to this what I would like to think as simple but has that somewhat different look that distinguishes it from the others you see on the road. Though it’s not loaded unlike some of my friend’s car, not to mention Jay Padua’s ride, whew! Jay is a good friend I met from a car club we used to be a part of. Man his ride is just loaded – wow! OK enough of his, let’s go back to mine. haha OK so where was I? Oh right, from stock to some minimal modifications here and there. Just trying to keep simple. Just the way I want it. 🙂
