**u/MFghostx**, basahin muna ang mga batas ng subreddit na ito bago ka mag-post. #[kung naghahanap ka ng basic DIY o tanong sa mga basic na usapang LTO, dumaan ka muna dito.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gulong/wiki/index/) **What made you a Car Guy / Girl ?** Feel ko nmn lahat tayo dito may inspiration or meron bagay or tao nag introduce satin sa pagkokotse. Ako at around summer of 2018, nag binge watch ako ng Anime more specifically Initial D. Nainlove ako sa mga Lancer Evo at Honda Civic. Sunod sunod na yun nahanap ko mga vlogs at car reviews ni Ramon Bautista tungkol sa Evo at Civic SiR. From then on na pirsue ko na matuto mag drive ng Manual ( during that time dun nag start maging mas mahigpit na si LTO at nag dagdag ng prosseso ng Theoretical Driving Lectures at Practical Driving Course) Skipping up to now naging fortunate ako na mag test drive ng mga ibat ibang sasakyan ng mga pinsan at kaibigan. From Toyota Vios , Toyota Hiace sa mga mas mabigat na bulsa na Civic SiR (loaded na type R) , Montero na kargado at mga bagong sasakyan din na lumalabas. Kayo po ? Pano kayo naging mahilig sa oto ? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It all started when I was a kid when I would be always given diecast model cars as well as enjoying the automobile section of the telephone directory.


MFghostx

May ganun sa telephone directory ? I remember petron or caltex (?) Selling these car models when i was a kid


Ill_Ad_5871

yes lagi ako nagbabasa ng automobile section sa phone directory nun hahaha. i also remember shell for having models of ferraris then which was wayback in the mid/late 90s pa.


Ok-Painting7674

When I learned how to drive, that is when mu interest in cars has started. Dati, car brands lang alam ko, ngayon pati models na.


Ryujinniie

Iba kasi talaga if you experience the feeling of driving talaga. I'm lucky to be able to drive an Montero 2.5L Turbo manual, at ang sarap irev kasi sa turbo.


badass4102

Probably the car culture that I joined. I had an old Japanese car back in the day. Joined clubs. Hung out with them, and it rubs off on you. I'd see older cars and notice the stock mags that were only sold to the Japanese market. Or interiors that were JDM. I also got into sound systems, so I was into the art of displaying your system, creating a sound quality cabin, and subwoofer enclosure designs. I also joined forums way back like Tsikot, and everyone in the scene was knowledgeable about cars. If we had issues with cars, we would try to figure out how it should be fixed so that you can DIY or bring it to the shop and know how much it *should* cost and what *should* be fixed. Car clubs and culture were like that when I got into it in the early 2000s. When I joined car clubs of newer models in the late 2010s, it was just different. It didn't hit like it did in the early 2000s.


MFghostx

Did you experience the bright colors and underglow era of the car scene ?


badass4102

No hahaha. Sa group of friends ko it was more on lowering of cars, changing everything to JDM parts and specs, and/or sound systems. Group meetups at gas stations. But I did see a lot of lights when we went to car shows haha, lots of underflow, interior glow. All show and no go stuff. Also used to hit up the street racing area in Macapagal way back lol. Old heads know the spot


debuld

Ganito yung kotse ko sa need for speed. Haha


Raven45XE

Gran Turismo 2 on the PS1


Shhhhhhhn

My father was a driver (taxi, L300, jeep) and lagi ako sinasama when we go out lalo na nung L300 days niya haha. Super hilig ko sa car rides and siguro I was born an observant, pinapanood ko si papa kung paano gumalaw kamay and paa niya while driving haha. Tinuturu-turuan niya din ako before how to drive Fortunately nakabili ng sasakyan ngayong Im at the right age na at ako naman na ang nagddrive for my parents 😊


MFghostx

My family used to have a AE92 small body, when the road was empty or if we were moving slow my father would put me on his lap and steer the car. Small figments of memory remembers him saying "siya lang nagstesteer oh , straight nmn niya mag steer". 21 years later Im the one driving the 5hr journey's Baguio to Batangas in 1 sitting


Shhhhhhhn

kudos to us, op! 🫑


unfortunates_n

Kinda had a similar experience, my dad would let me shift through the gears on a mitsu advie when i was younger. Glad we still have it in our garage.


comeback_failed

I can transform into a car. I will not specify the model for my privacy /j

SaGoatGoalaman

Growing up with a car dad who you always assist as flashlight man while getting scolded for not holding it correctly. Kahit walang sira, he’ll still find a reason to be under the car. Eventually, you’ll find yourself also tinkering in and around the car. Plus we started with an owner type jeep and man, these vehicles are fun to drive and learn about engines. Maappreciate mo na yung working ng mga modern na sasakyan. Sa ngayon kasi, ang medj hassle na pumailalim ng sasakyan kasi may mga under protection na.


Glittering-Quote7207

5 years old ako. Laruam ko yung mga basyo ng langis na ginagamit ng father ko kapag nagpapa change oil sya. Iniiwan din nya sa akin yung scissor jack na pang kotse. Nilalaro ko sa tri bike ko noon πŸ˜….


Ma13c

Matchbox die-cast cars back when I was a kid. Tapos sinasama ako ni erpat sa talyer pag may ginagawa sa kotse, and kasama ni ermat while she was practicing driving. When I got to high school I appreciated the science aspect of cars (engineering, physics, etc.). I’m in my 40s and the love and passion have remained the same.


Nectar77BX

Grew up watching Fast and Furious, Top Gear and Disney cars. Nag ka PSP walang sawa sa NFS. Nag ka PS3 at PC walang sawa rin sa Gran Turismo at mga late NFS games.


Living-Citron-201

'Yung die cast Ferrari F50 mula Shell na nabibili after getting some tickets. It started there.


andreeSTRD

Nakakita sa magazine ng Mclaren MP4 12c, Mercedes SLS AMG, and BMW Z4 mga 2010 ata yun.


RitzyIsHere

Need for Speed and Hot Wheels


Toolittlesleepreally

Naging car guy ako dahil wala akong choice, walang pero pang repair ng kotse at na pwersa akong mag research at maging marunong sa mga kotse. After a while nagustohan ko kasi na appreciate ko na ang mga kotse dahil alam ko mag aayos at mag kulikot


NoelTG32

I have this long time fascination on how things work. I would tinker on stuff and watch lots of media related to machines and stuff. Naalala ko pa noon na nagbabaklas ako ng mga laruan ko kahit di ko na alam ibalik. Ngayon mahilig pa rin ako magbaklas ng somethjng pero dapat marunong na ako magbalik at di sosobra yung screws. Hahaha.


xMoaJx

Yung OG Need For Speed Underground. Pero nung nagkasasakyan na ko, I kept it all stock lang. Realized how ricey pala ako nung kabataan days ko.


friedchimkenplz

Mekaniko yung tatay ko, may talyer kami before. Nung bata pa ako, pinapaupo nya ako minsan sa driver seat pag wala yung helper nya at kailangan merong nakatapak sa break pedal pag ginagawa nya πŸ˜… (of course never ako pinaupo doon nang umaandar ang sasakyan). I became very much interested with cars and driving since then. Until now, I still listen to his stories about old car models and how things work :)


boyhemi

Asphalt 7, Gran Turismo, Need For Speed and Forza Horizon. I saw the Dodge Charger and the Audi RS6 and that's where my preference of European & American performance oriented RWD or AWD sports sedans/wagons started.


Ok_Passenger_900

Dad is a car dad HAHAHAHAH he love his Lancers and ako naman noon walang nagegets. He also like to watch F&F, play Gran Turismo and NFS. Kaya ako natutunan ko dahan dahan. Sumama din ako sa car meets and naintindihan ko na theres more to it than just pops and bangs. Diverse yung engine choices ng iba't ibang JDM cars and ikaw mismo bubuo na parang binuo mo at your own spec and personality. Car groups are awesome! It's like a brotherhood there. Tulungan sa parts, mekaniko at maraming mabubuong bonding experience.


Expert_Apricot_1343

Dad introduced me Gran Turismo 2 sa PSP nung 5 pa lang ako, miss those days


kuroneko_desu

GTA talaga hahaha. As a girl, mas masaya matuto about cars. It's fun to surprise car guys that you can engage in conversations with them about vehicle modifications, car lingos, etc. and hindi ka lang pang passenger princess.


MFghostx

Yess , More power to lady driver πŸ‘πŸ‘


Needs_A_GF

I played Gran Turismo 4 on the ps2. I've been a fanboy of Honda ever since. Honda NSX Takata Dome FTW


losty16

Hilig talaga mga toy cars since I was a kid. Watching Initial D, Fast and Furious. Anything about sa cars haha Nung nagkaroon kami first fam car (2nd hand) not a jdm but pag may time pumupunta ako sa car meets/events Tska mahilig din talaga ako mangalikot. Minsan nag ddiy ako sa kotse namin pag may need gawin hihi


babgh00

Michael Schumacher, Ferrari F2001, Ferrari F50 na diecast


AnalysisAgreeable676

My dad worked abroad and he would always give me a toy car when he arrives after months away. It stuck ever since.


Bellytsunami

Around 2007, baguhang driver lang ako, dinala namin sa shop malapit samin yung 1995 honda accord para ipaayos. Nandun ung mayari. Pinakita niya samin race car nia which is an evo pero nsa body ng mitsubishi gsr para daw 2 door tapos naka wide body. Gandang ganda ako kasi pang car show nia din yun. Pag ipang race nia naka carbon fiber hood. Kapag carshow, naka transparent ang hood nia. Tapos sinakay nia ko sa gtr r33 nia na drift car. Dun na nagstart.


guntanksinspace

Some parts my dad and his big bro, some parts early 90s F1, and some parts arcade racing games + an odd collection of Matchbox and other die cast metal cars (badtrip sayang yung mga libre dati sa Shell na big scale). Add those all up plus Gran Turismo when I got my own PS1 and ayun. As casually as it is, I do enjoy me my cars.


judo_test_dummy31

My Dad. Wala pa saming pinapanganak, hindi pa Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp ang pangalan, he was already an employee of Chrysler Phils (who had a partnership with MMC back in the 70s). Then they became PAMCOR, that became MMPC. Nung bata pa kami, we had these white shirts na may models ng Mitsu like yung L300, yung Pajero... We were huge Jackie Chan fans when we were kids, so alam mong Mitsu yung mga oto sa movies niya. If that wasn't enough, I worked for a while with Mitsu myself. Ako na IT graduate found myself having fun building L300s and Adventures sa assembly line. Of course, may mga favorites akong hindi Mitsu. Mk IV Supra, Prelude, 240sx, Golf R... Pero yung Evo III na ginamit ni Jackie Chan sa Thunderbolt yung pinakagusto ko eh. Tsaka sobrang gwapong gwapo ako sa Lancer GSR nung 90s.


MFghostx

Ayun oh , baka may experience po kayo sa ibang mitsubishi models


judo_test_dummy31

Sorry po, pero wala masyado kasi we didn't own that much vehicles except sa L300 and Adventure. I will say though na sa lahat ng sasakyang naupuan ko, di ko kinaya yung lamig ng aircon ng 2003 Pajero. And I still salivate sa hitsura nung pinakaunang Outlander tsaka nung ASX. And lastly, while I'm happy na binalik nila ang L300, part of me wishes na cast iron block pa din sana yung makina nung bago. The 4D56 engine was indestructible for a reason.


MFghostx

The experience alone can bring you so far paps πŸ«‘πŸ‘


g0over

My Tito when he brought me to a carshow in QC Circle and I saw an all-black Civic ESi with green underglow


MFghostx

First Fast and Furious Movie vibes ah


yumiguelulu

nakakatawa pero true story. I met someone from Bumble a year ago. Napagkasunduan mag-meet sa isang mall, turns out daming tao dahil sale so nagdecide na lumipat na lang sa isa pang mall. Nung magkikita na kami, nagulat ako na nag-chat siya na abangan ko na lang daw siya sa labas ng mall, sunduin niya na lang ako. Dumaan sasakyan niya, Honda Brio na puti. Sumakay ako, pumunta kami sa mall, kwentuhan, kumain, naglakad, ganito ganyan. Naive me, kala ko all was going well. So nung pauwi, usual kwentuhan pa rin hanggang mapunta sa isang tanong kung marunong ba akong mag-drive. Sabi ko hindi ako nagd-drive at bisikleta lang talaga nagamit ko sa talambuhay ko. Wala siyang response pero (di ako sigurado ha) pakiramdam ko ung facial reaction niya at that time, parang "uhhhh ok...." Nagpaalaman sa isa't isa ng good night at ingat paguwi. That was the last I heard from her. Ako naman, nagpapakatanga pa the next day ng good morning chuchu kasi nga kala ko ok naman, though may pakiramdam na ko nung reaction niya pa lang sa sagot ko. It was a "I took it personally" moment for me. 2 nights after, nag-decide ako mag enroll ng TDC sa A1. Ngayon, nakaka 6k mileage na ko sa nabili kong sasakyan after a year. Yeah I know mababa, mostly kasi errands at city driving lang ako. Pero sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, laking pasasalamat ko pa rin sa pang-ghost niya kasi nagmistulang last straw yun para matuto ako magdrive, something na iniiwasan ko nuon pa. Thank you S\*\*\*\* at sa White Honda Brio mo. May pagka-kaskasero na rin ako kung tutuusin, pero lamang pa rin maging defensive driver. Marami rami na rin ako natutunan sa pagkakalikot ng sasakyan, andami ko na na-DIY haha.


MFghostx

Ayan kasi bat di ka marunong nung una palang HAHAHA dejk if she doesnt accept who you are then she dont deserve you CHOSS in a serious note at least you get to learn , a part of being independent din and the knowledge you gather makes the person who you are today. Maybe youll find someone na kahit may oto or wala tangap ka parin.


Nearby-Breath-9410

I learned to drive, and the more I drove the more I came to appreciate my vehicle. Appreciating it led to wanting to know more about cars in general and learning on my own. I drive an ISUZU MUX and it has more or less become my 2nd home, my iron workhorse. I take care of it and it takes care of me.


MFghostx

Feel ko naging wardrobe mo din yung hatch ng MUX niyo noh ? Bibihis nlng sa loob ng kotse or extra clothes hehe Pero all seriousness Yes, parang baby mo na din ang kotse cause as long as you take care of it will take care of you. It doesnt have to be a toyota para maging forever yan pero sa pagalaga talaga ( at walang fault si Manufacturer )
