Bad news: September still hasn't ended. And may never end. We should re-print all the calendars for clarity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie some countries in Europe favour very small cars like the Yaris or Fiesta. But much of the world goes for basic tough vehicles like the HiLux or Fortuner. And some countries even still go for old-fashioned full-size sedans, look at Korea buying Hyundai Grandeurs like it was 1979 North America!

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie a lot! Charts like this are very interesting. So variable.

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie yeah, it's a very UK thing for sure. Sweeden is more Volvo V90s than Ford Kas.

When I got to Manila I posted a photo saying “I’m not in Europe anymore” just SUVs everywhere, now here’s a photo around the corner of my house… definitely in Europe again, small hatchbacks everywhere.

On #MasterSystemMonday here’s “Ghostbusters”. Activision’s 1984 game was originally released on multiple home computers before being ported to #Sega #MasterSystem by Compile in 1987. The game is loosely based on the hit film of the same name.

@ThePlant don't know. I need a list to choose something 😆

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie multiple reasons, safety and environmental reasons. As someone who has driven the Philippines plenty they have sort of started to not belong on the roads, out in provinces they can still work, but in cities like Manila or Cebu, they are not ideal anymore.

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie similar vehicles exist today like the LiteAce FX, but they are quite small. The minibuses that are supposed to be the Jepney equivalents are big but very pricey.

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie I don't know if that's still a thing. Getting any vehicle imported into the Philippines is complex, and expensive.

@adama thanks to auto correct for changing 💩 to shirt.

@adama I have some net worth, but I need to get my shirt sorted and invested better 😄

I’ve been away enjoying the beach and my box now needs lots of update…

There’s a massive need to replace the Jeepney, they are banned from many places nowadays and something that’s affordable for drivers and safe for modern roads is needed. I hope Toyota solves this problem.

The Toyota Tamaraw/Rangga Concepts are some of the coolest things Toyota has done recently and I hope they get to production in Thailand and the Philippines. Cheaper and more basic than a HiLux and ready for almost ANY use! theautoph.com/n-2023-250/?fbcl
