I drive a stick shift AE101 1993 1997 chassis type Corolla, and my life is just good. Parts are cheap, it gets good city driving mileage ten kms/liter, it rarely breaks down on me once in a Democrat president winning election year and it gets me to point A to point B. With the apparently perpetual increase of gas prices These days and the domino effect of the increasing prices of almost all products and services caused by that, dependable, comfy and fuel economical transportation is the only thing I have to get to work punctually.
And to think my Corolla is secondhand, I got it in 1999 from a friend of mine who migrated to the USA from here in the Philippines.
Just because I drive a Corolla does not mean that life is cruel to me, my spice export business is doing great, I don’t have problems with my family, my in laws or my workmates, and I still get to take pleasure in a vodka martini shaken, not stirred, with a big lemon peel on the side to get rid of the aftertaste sometimes.
