A target for the bull



In a recent article by Top Gear Philippines on the Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann visiting the country, In his speech, Winkelmann revealed that the Italian carmaker's sales target for the Philippines is 15 units a year.

Hell yeah that can be achieved if the corrupt politicians will order a pair each, it may even surpass Winkelmann's projected target. If your not familiar with the Philippine government, we do have some or the worst CORRUPT politicians. I know that every country have their  corrupt politicians but in the Philippines they are doing it upfront.

So to answer Lamborghini's sales target, is a big Y E S! yes you can achieve the target for 15 units a year.

A guy named Lewis Hamilton

video

I'm humbled by watching the video. It seems that nobody from my countryman noticed who this guy was or they just didn't publicly announced it but anyway to Lewis your just not a great driver but a great man. May God give you more or even ten folds of what you have done to the street children in Manila.

Cas grave d'une moustache

Here's a serious case of a moustache. Are they somewhat related to pink panther? you decide :P

If you didn't recognize him I'm sure you will in here and the girls won't mind if he wants to grow back his killer moustache upon reading how much his net worth is.

A MUST upgrade for the Forester

Sadly my Forester didn't came with a factory fog light kit it would have save me some benjamin's. I really think that a fog kit is the first necessary upgrade for your Forester. Here are a couple reasons. First, the Forester came pre-wired. Second, the kit comes with the stalk for the fog kit that's why it's called "kit". Third, it's an easy diy (do it yourself) job with no need to remove the front bumper and lastly, it can make your Forester look complete frontage wise (see picture). Don't mind the sports grill on the picture, that's next on my list after the fog kit.

I'll have some diy write up for the fog kit as soon as I bought one.

Mighty Car Mods

I found this guys through youtube while searhing for some diy (do it yourself) for my Forester. They are a pair of aussie dudes with some skills on some diy modification on any car available in the market, what's good about these two is that some of the mods are the basics on every car like how to install a tachometer, how to paint your wheels and so on. They even have an episode where they compare a Nissan S15 and a Subaru Legacy RS with some mods like fmic and turbo upgrades, guess who won! no other than the Subaru. It smoked the Nissan on a drag race for about a yard... no I'm just kidding folks but it does beat the S15.

Go check them out!

K & N drop in filter

Here's my drop in filter replacement for the oem lame paper type for the Forester. My concern is it is oiled and I have read that some of the oils will go to the MAF sensor but I have been using this for about 7 months now and all I can say is "Great". Great to the fact that my fuel consumption now is 32~34mpg highway. What more can you ask. Nevermind those saying negative comments about it, they are just sourgraping.

The part number for the Forester is 33-2304.

Suzuki: 0% financing for 72 months. Will it help?

Here is a good write up about Suzuki here in the U.S while in my home country around asia Suzuki is the exact opposite of this article, heck! we even have a Suzuki club back home!

Suzuki posted on its Facebook page today that it was going to offer up to 0% financing for 72 months on all 2012 Suzuki models. That's quite a good deal if you qualify for it. The financing is done through American Suzuki Financial Services, and the vehicles must be purchased by May 31, 2012.

The question is, will anyone notice? With the company's lack of marketing, greatly reduced social media efforts, and shrinking dealer network, Suzuki hasn't been great at promoting itself. I don't think there's even been a press release about it.

Suzuki join a host of other manufacturers in the 0% until 5/31 club. However, this 0% is on all Suzuki models, whereas other manufactures are offering it on select nameplates, and it's for the long duration of 72 months.  It'd be great if ASMC did an ad blitz to promote the deal and get some bodies into their dealers. Is 0% for 72 mos. enough to make people go to a Suzuki dealer? I'm sure the company will see a spike in May sales; then again, with sales as low as they've been, any increase is a good one.
