Your First Car... A Memoir

[teeyoh]

learned to drive in 1984, yung first car ko is from my father - a 1970's ford escort. remember then i still have young and growing up family and yung kotche very convenient for traveling manila-laguna kahit talagang luma sya. syempre daming problema especially the hard-starting tulak, tirek, pawis steering, no a/c episodes pero no regrets kasi it made me a better driver and experienced "siraneko" tinkering ignition coild, spark plugs etc...

my first car was a secondhand 1978 ford escort sedan. my mom bought it for me in 1983 for P7k, i was in 2nd year college then. after 10 years, nabenta ko pa siya ng P25k sa isang pulis sa crame.

My first car is a 1967 Cougar. 289 2 barrel engine. 4 drum breaks with no power assist. Raised read end like a dragster(uso yon dati) with wide L60 Tiger Paw tires. Very fast but does not stop well.

I remember using it at the old North Diversion road. I went home late after the my classes in UST. Since it was about 1979, very few vehicles were travelling at night coz the 12:00-4:00 curfew was still in effect. I was trvelling very fast since the road was almost deserted. Then suddenly I spotted a dim light under the Valenzuela Overpass. May mga gumagawa pala ng karsada. Naku sobra na ang diin ko sa preno buti, hindi ako nakapatay. You kids cannot imagine how to stop a very fast car without power assist and with a measely 4 drum brake. Buti huminto.

Thanks God!!

Mine was a 1996 Honda Civic VTi A/T. It was problem-free for the 1st 5 years but after that, sunod-sunod na ang sira. Ganun pa man, mahal ko siya.

My 1st car was a Benz.

1960+ model diesel. It was like a tank. Almost as heavy as one. To start you need to warm up the glow plug and pull it. Defective 2nd gear. Kung swerte it will enter after double clutch. Kung ayaw, balik neutral tapos pitk sa accelerator bago kambyo ng 2nd gear. Maybutas pala ang sahig. Found out after crossing a flooded street. Minsan slam ko yung pinto, nahulog yung bumper.

1st brand new car was a 91 Corolla GLI 16 valve. Lots of fond memories with this car.
