Silver Cars o Mga Kotseng Kulay Pilak

 litratongpinoy1.gif

It is Thursday once again. This is a happy day for me because this is not just Litratong Pinoy day but a day wherein I stay home.   The theme for this Thursday is SILVER. This is a difficult theme for me for I have lots of photos with silver.

Huwebes na naman. Ito ay isang masayang araw para sa akin dahil bukod sa Litratong Pinoy, ito ay araw na nasa bahay lang ako.  Ang tema para sa araw na ito ay (KULAY) TANSO. Nahirapan akong mamili sa sandamakmak kung mga larawan namay kulay na animo’ypilak.

I will try to see how much you know about cars and let you answer my questions without seeing the image’s caption.

Gusto kong malaman ang inyong kaalaman sa sasakyan at pasasagutin sa aking mga tanong na hindi titingin sa label ng larawan.

Do you like this car? Who can tell me what this is?

Eto, gusto mo ba ang kotseng ito? Sino ang makakapagsabi kung ano ang tawag o modelo ng kotseng ito?

Yup, that is a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. But what number?

Oo, Evo yan, pero pang-ilang Evo ba yan?

Maligayang araw ng Huwebes sa inyong lahat. Di bale, magkakarun din tayo ng ganyang mga sasakyan. Meron na nga kami, laruan ng mga anak ko 😀

Stock or Modified?

We were supposed to go to a car show yesterday but the children didn’t want to leave the house anymore when to started to rain. So we just stayed home and each did his and her own thing. At least hubby changed my blogs’ themes. A lot of tweaking here and there but in the end, one both of these would have to be changed if one of my favorite plug ins won’t work fine.

The custom or modified question can refer to the themes since even if these were customized, still some modifications are needed to suit a blogger’s needs.

Or, this can mean cars. Yes, cars.

We have been to a lot of car shows. Not that we plan to buy a new car, no, that would have to be eons from now. Its just that getting near these cars gives us the “feel good” feeling.

Stock or modified?

Stock cars are cars and trucks that have not been changed in any way. It looks exactly like how to it looked when it got off the assembly line or production site. This term can also mean production based cars used for racing.

Here is an example of a stock car that I want (of course, this is by no means an ordinary stock car since it’s engine have been modified and is better than ordinary engines):

Custom cars or modified cars or tuner cars on the other hand, are those that have been changed according to the owner’s specifications, needs and style.

There are many ways to modify a car: paint, mag wheels, body art, airbrush designs, neon lights, door conversions, steering wheels, wide body kits plus a lot more!

Here is an example of a custom or modified or a tuner car:

So would you go for the stock car or the modified car?

Subaru Impreza WRX STi or Mitsubishi Evolution X?

As I have written in a previous post, we just love going to car shows, ogling at new and old cars.

Not that we want to torture ourselves since we can’t afford these anyway, but still getting near these cars is a thrill in itself.

Back to my title, if I have a car like the Subaru Impreza WRX STi:

Or a car like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X:

We could go there but Dang! there’s the iBlog 4 Summit that day which we signed up to go. Hmm…

Super Bikes

weekendsnaphot_button3.gif

We went to the Batangas Racing Circuit to watch some real, live action motor sport race. There wasn’t any car races yesterday, just motorcycle races. We saw the under bones first (called scooters here) with smaller displacements. 150-200 cc if I am not mistaken.

Then the Super Bikes came. These are no ordinary motorbikes, having 1000cc (or a little less than that, I am not sure) displacements. These motor bikes sound different, in fact to me, these sound great!

Below is a photo of the guys riding on super bikes, pardon the blur, had to resize the photos but these look great when seen through the original size:
