I wanted to get the horn but I'm not sure where to get it. I went to SM of asia or whatever no luck but I didnt go to every store though. Are those horn compatible? Do you have to change the wiring or just the horn?

My best experience was 4 years ago. Driving an old Toyota Tamaraw FX with 10 passengers (2 infront, 8 in the back) trying to squeeze-in between crazy bus drivers in EDSA while heading to Megamall.. Loved it.. I miss honking at the pedestrians.. hahaha!!

here's a couple of pics for people who doesn't know the tamaraw.

I drive manual when I am in the philippines. I drive around Ilo Ilo City. I got a 2000 Honda Civic SiR - Passion Orange, that **** is hot. I bought it for 8 grand with 33k Kilometers on the engine. CD player doesn't work. After 8pm or so, there is NO ONE on the road....Its odd.

You guys up there is San Fernando are loving life after getting the new SM and Robinsons Malls. Have you checked out the new SM mall at Clark in Angeles city?
There is almost no need to ever go to Manila now.

Dont jump to conclusions man, you never know how they met. Maybe she went back to the PI to go back to school, or to help family out there for an extended period of time. I dont agree with the mail order bride exhange also, but we cant jump the gun on what he posted....
