The recent “Undas” week gave us all the chance to reflect not only about those who have left us, but also about our own lives. For those who stayed in Metro Manila, it has been a pleasant mix of clear roads, good weather and occasional rain showers.

And one of the most sought-after sports cars and grand tourers of all time – the Nissan GT-R – is still a top choice among track addicts. But why? Legacy Every car enthusiast knows abou

I haven't come to the point where I consider myself a motorsport enthusiast or see myself doing a kind in the future. I am a regular car user who is already satisfied by just having my service that takes me from point A to point B. Regardless of that, I always wonder what's special about supercars and what they have to offer in return for several million pesos. Sports cars are indeed high-performing and highly-capable vehicles, that is why several people call them their "dream car", as it is ind
