- I'd travel the world in my S2000 as a non-expeditionary journey as I explore the best roads the world has to offer:

- My first Ssangyong I've ever driven was a 'Mercedes-badged' Istana called the MB100. Sure it was popular back in the Philippines, but there was a lot of '90s Korean-esque issues despite the "Powered by Mercedes-Benz" tagline...

^ Ssangyong Rodius/Stavic.

^ Oops! Worng answer in my part (misread the article)! >_<

- Simple, the Ford Flex.

Now playing

- I don't mind the OG-Gymkhana (the pic you showed me).

- What Tsuchiya (and the other blokes) did was the real definition of Gymkhana!!

- Being an Automotive Journalist on print or TV. It really doesn't matter if you work under any buff-book, Jalopnik, Carscoop, or producing your own car blog (like me).

- I think these automakers should pitch in (in order):

3rd Gear - What!? It won't look right at all! I mean Nissan US should've released this new Tiida hatch instead! Now the Versa Hatch is (very) late into the game...

- When I tried to replace my brake pads for the first time (on my '04 WRX wagon). I installed these brakes BACKWARDS! So I was wonder why my brakes were grinding!?......fail on my part.

-> Lemme see... ( / = correct , X = wrong )

- GM with all the Michael Bay's Transformers movies. Come on!? Bumblebee as a Camaro? WTF...

- Being a PR on Honda / Acura Automobiles. Similar to Suzuki but with the opposite effect, while Suzuki is delivering decent cars, Honda/Acura cars are becoming more beige and uglier with its passing model generation thus having a (very) hard time of decribing the cars good (design) attributes.

-> I go for the Prodrive P2 & Gordon Murray's T-series.

- If only Subaru-Toyota could dump its convertible plans and build this instead. My S2000 could be in danger (of trading it in). =P

- I use a toe-toe approach, I use my heel as my anchor and I pivot my foot to do the blipping.

- I always wonder about this car ever since it came out when I was in High School.

^ Well, not technically. I'm from QC, but now based in Vegas.

- Has to be/got to be/have to be/must be 4/5/6/7 Speed Manual Transmission.
