Guns for Osama: cars

Men and cars---what can I say, it's a fixation!

I used to collect Matchbox cars when I was still a boy but nothing beats the real ones! Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to collect the genuine article so I just ogle them and capture in my old reliable camera! What better venue to do this than attending car shows! Actually, the fixation is not only with cars but with those mamalicious girls! Well---men will be men! I guess BUSYLIZZY was right when she commented on why men dig going to car shows. She said, "I think the guys go to the car shows to see the cars. I think they stay there longer because of the girls."

What the heck! Forget the cars---let's go to the girls!

I have been hearing about the Manila International Auto Show since 2005 but every time it was in the past tense. Well, I’m not what you call an auto enthusiast in the strict sense of the word. For one thing, I cannot identify cars in terms of make and engine. All the car knowledge that I have I got from playing Grand Turismo and Need for Speed on PSP! However, I would like to think of myself as an appreciator of beauty! At least I know that, being a graduate of Art Studies, I was able to imbibe the teachings of the course I took! Anyway, as soon I read about the on going MIAS in an article in the Philippine Star last April 2, I immediately made a conscious decision to go! And so, last April 4, my wife and I took off to have our first Manila International Auto Show experience!

The traffic from Novaliches to the World Trade Center in Pasay City was awful but it was all worth the experience!
