LEGIT. How else can one describe the Filipino car culture all over the world? Like our country and our food, our taste for cars has evolved into a fusion of sorts that it is no longer uniquely foreign but is now made our own. It’s as adobo as our skin color on a car club meet or track day. It’s as sinangag as our subcompacts, AUV’s and Jeepneys on any given highway. It’s as TapSiLog as…well…you get the point. Filipinos all over the world have taken car cultures from their respective locations and now have an avenue (pun intended) to mix all that right here – just rightly so to bring about a unique Filipino taste. Much like Manila, as it was THE melting pot ages ago.

Now, we have the internet, and we go so far as to say that whereas the geographical Manila was the melting pot and the center of everything for our forefathers, this site is YOUR melting pot, whether you’re a race fan, slammed fan, drift fan, oldschooler, racing sim gamer, scale model collector, avid car club member, or just someone who enjoys watching cars pass by more than the MRT (that you can’t fit into so you wait for the next one to pass by) , you’ll surely find your niche here. And who knows, you may the right person to finally bring into mainstream a Filipino love for Aston Martins and Rat Rods! What this melting pot boils down to is this – our love for cars is REAL, is GENUINE, is LEGIT.
