My sapphire blue car will turn 2 years old on June 2008. 25,000 km, casa maintained and still in great running condition. Friends are advising me to sell this car and buy a new one. Sounds great, but I have one problem, aside from the budget, wifey is attached to all our “firsts”. In fact, I can not disposed yet of our first sofa, micro wave oven and bed.
In case I will buy a new one, either I will go for an SUV or a bigger car like Toyota Camry. Whenever I’ll see a Camry on the road, it stands tall compare to other cars. Just consider these:
Aerodynamic multi-reflector halogen headlamps with blackout sport trim and auto on/off feature; Integrated front fog lamps; 16-in. steel wheels with P215/60R16 tires and full wheel covers; 16-in. – 17-in. alloy wheels; Dual color-keyed power outside mirrors; Heated outside mirrors; Acoustic noise-reducing front windshield; High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass; Washer-linked variable intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle; Power tilt/slide moonroof with sliding sunshade; Blackout sport grille; Heavy-duty electric rear window defogger with timer; Dual exhaust; Chrome-tipped exhaust; Color-keyed front and rear underbody spoilers and side rocker panel moldings; Color-keyed rear lip spoiler

I would like to share two good experiences with start up businesses who extended above normal customer assistance.
The first service provider is Car-Go, a new car wash (and general car care) center at # 8 Macapagal Blvd. (in front of PNB). The price is $2.5 (P 100) or $ 0.50 (P 20) more expensive than the back yard car wash service you can find. But the boys there knew what customer service is. They have an air-conditioned waiting area, a container van turned lounge area (all it need are platform beds and it would look like a bachelors pad) and your car wash goes with “armor all” treatment and the standard “tire black” application. On my last visit, I just inquired if the deep scratch I got in the rear bumper can still be remedied thru buffing. Well, I got the answer thru a demo. The scratch was removed and that extra service should have cost me $ 5 ( P200) for the labor cost and the chemical. They gained a loyal customer in the process. I will be scheduling a complete service (engine detailing, total paint and steam detailing) which will cost $125 (P5000) because of that.

Though not feeling well since Friday, after church, my family went to World Trade Center at Buendia Ext. to catch the last day of the Philippine International Motor Show.
We saw first hand concept cars, cars for the exclusive few, and the present models as each company outclass each other in the presentation.
Kids are happy to see ASIMO, the Honda robot, play, dance and have pics with other kids. Wifey is busy checking out the freebies of each outfit and checking out bigger cars while I’m busy checking cars that you can only see in movies and only a privilege few can own. Boy these cars are awesome!
