Next Montero

I know, wishful thinking here, too bad the U.S. market stopped selling this model.

Traffic EVERYWHERE


I lived in the Philippines until I was 9 years old and moved to the U.S.. I rarely visit the country and the next time I visited was when I was 18 years old and stayed for 2 weeks. The traffic there is horrible from what I remember, populations grow over time and living in an island where population just keeps growing and growing is just a nightmare in my point of view.
I love the auto industry, I have a lot of love for cars, and as you know my story went from working PR in the press to becoming a test driver. As much as I love cars, WHY would people just keep buying cars where there's no SPACE for cars. Traffic in the Philippines is so ridiculous and barely moves. I have living in New York City since I had moved here. Friends from out of town are impressed of how I deal with traffic here and saying if I can drive here, I can drive anywhere. No, I don't think so. Philippines is far worse and people drive opposite sides of the street and not even following rules at times.
My blurb is that I can't stand traffic and populations with a sh*t load of cars with no where to go should STOP selling cars and / or should have a limit on how many a person can own. What's really the point of having a car when you go zero to 60 in 4 days? Just saying, just a little blurb.

The last Lambo I've ever driven was the Gallardo and definitely would love to test this. Here's a footage from Top Gear and their review.

Tesla Shares Going Down

<script src='http://i.cdn.turner.com/money/.element/script/7.0/players/embed.js?videoid=/video/luxury/2015/10/14/tesla-driverless-car.cnnmoney'></script>
Consumer Reports took off Tesla from reliability tests because of complaints with charging, noises, and other complaints with the car. It was on top earlier this year from Consumer Reports but since this report came up, Tesla shares went down 10%.
I have recently studied Tesla's marketing and how they have been dubbed as the "Apple Store" of the auto industry. They have been doing very well and shares have been going up for the company. But a nearly maintenance free vehicle, how can you fix it if it breaks down? Can you go to a trusted mechanic? The answer is, nope, they most likely need to be trained by Tesla, how can you get those electric motors fixed?
It'll be a while until electric cars can go to a trusted mechanic, in my opinion, it's more like going to a trusted "electrician".For now I'll stick with Hybrids and Gas engine cars. Tesla is also having charging issues from customer complaints and charging stations are still being made around the country.
