One of the cars we had was (is) a Subaru Forester - can it offroad? Yes

Wheels of Happiness

Before the Montero, we had Subaru Forester.    My daughter wanted it because there was supposed to be a sale.   This post provided the dp which was hefty.  She made the monthly.   It was fast and thrifty too. I could easily do 140 kph at SLEX or NLEX with its engine hardly worked up.  It had a cruise control, which many local cars did not have.

I was fond of 4x4, the extreme one and used TLC,, CJ,  and Range Rover.  (abused)

We recently had expensive maintenance recently for this:   timing chain, etc.  batteries.

It is a good car.

It can be used for offroad.  It is an all wheel drive car.

This post owned an E30 before - it was light, fun, nimble and fun to drive

This post used to own one, painted yellow.  I held on to this for 6 years  (had another E36 was a little bit heavier).  I think these models made BMW known as the driving machine.

The company too owned a 5 series, and 7 series.   The successors junked it and opted for model Japnese cars.     Crazy maintenance, they said

If I shift to riding cars, it is still about Senior Rides

Two or three years back, I stepped into a Nissan showroom, and wonder of wonders, the car salesman invited to me to step inside a GTR Nismo sports car.  He said it was a bargain at P6.6 million (about $100,000 ++) wow it roared like a monster.  But frugality got the better of me:    the amount could buy 6 pick ups and enough capital to start a real estate project.

I turned the offer down and lost the chance to own one of the Japanese super cars.
