It’s around 8 p.m. and the nighttime air is whipping against my face, with my hands firmly grasping the roof bar. The wind, vigorously buffeting around my ears, is a pleasant accompaniment to the twinkling of the stars above. I’m standing on the floor in the back seat as my fellow motoring scribe Ian Magbanua takes us down a quiet winding road in Alabang.

Public utility vehicles became an option for many car owners to lighten the financial burden. But others just endure the pain of spending more on fuel to continue using their vehicles comfortably. In my case, I think that I am just going to work extra hard to continue using my favorite car as driving is

After several years of hiatus, the sports car Toyota GR Supra pays a comeback on track for its fifth generation. A lot were thrilled when Toyota Motor Corporation unveiled the Supra back in 2020. This sports coupe has been an icon of Toyota for more than four decades and has been one of the most sought-after cars ever built. What’s your dream car? I bet you also have been asked that question before. A picture of a sports car that looks like the Toyota GR Supra must have crossed your mind when yo
