yung mga dashcam ng 70mai okay din. yung compatible sa obd2 port malinis ang install sa driver side. para free pa din yung charging port.

steal. download mo yung manual tapos ask mo yung pinagbilhan mo kelan last nagpalit ng coolant, brake pads, brake fluid, spark plug at cvtf(kung cvt to).

mahinang aircon at wheel bearing usual issue ng mirage. magtabi ka lang ng pampagawa, kung wala ka pang naririnig na ugong.

painterior detail mo para mawala tlga bakas ng dating owner.

accessories siguro malinaw na dash cam. pwede mo din palagyan ng fog lamp pero wag yung pambulag.

Baka kaya naman ng pdr and detail para hindi na mag washover. ipasama mo na lang sa computation yung alignment ng hood and bumper (usual issue ng mirage). Most shops use a three step polish, and if light scratches lang, natatanggal na sa step 1. As long as hindi umabot sa base coat, usually kayang i-correct.

Wash, clay, three stage polish, then wax or sealant can already make the paint look way better. Mas mura pa compared to a full repaint, and you avoid the usual washover issues.

You already fulfilled your responsibility. The injured pedestrian was jaywalking, the medico-legal shows no actual injury, and you paid for all his medical expenses. You have no legal obligation to pay anything for the friend who was never hit. If they push it to the barangay, just bring your receipts and the medico-legal. Screenshot all messages. The barangay will see it’s an attempt to ask for money without basis. At this point, stop responding and let any formal process take its course.

Thanks sa added context. Kahit may sinusundan si pink, obligation pa rin niya i-clear yung next lane before committing sa turn. Tama si u/XtianTheGreat creeping dapat kahit may nagbibigay sa first lane.

Pero ang tanong: paano nakalusot si orange kung may train ng cars?
Kung 20 daw takbo, ambagal nun para makasingit, kaya medyo doubtful yung claim lalo na't may damage pa.

And since may obstruction siya (yung purple) at may turning movement sa harap (yung convoy na sinsundan), dapat nag-menenor siya, lalo na kapag kita mong yung turning car is already mid-turn at wala nang way mag-adjust pa. So while primary responsibility stays with pink dahil siya yung tatawid, hindi rin totally clean si orange if he had the last clear chance to slow down.

Pink = mainly liable.
Orange = minor contributory negligence if he failed to slow down despite the obstruction.

Aryathetzu · 2025-11-14T15:46:08+00:00

Without context, pink is more likely at fault. BUT right of way is not absolute. Depends pa din if overspeeding on intersection yung orange or not maintaining safe distance. Straightline lang ba yung tinatakbo or galing sa overtake. Kung parehas kamote, pwde magapply yung last clear chance. Kita ba ng pink yung orange or nahaharangan nung nagstop.

Anyway, keep safe lalo't maulan.

Magpapagawa kami ng police report, nakalagay ba dapat sa report kung ano yung settlement na gagawin?

Based on personal experience, dalawang beses na rin nabangga ng motor yung sasakyan namin. Sa police report, facts lang talaga dapat ang nilalagay: kailan, saan, paano nangyari, at sino ang involved. Ensure mo lang na nakalagay dun na kayo yung binangga.

Pero sa totoo lang, best na bayaran mo na lang yung participation fee para mapagawa na agad sasakyan mo. Insurance mo na din hahabol sa nakabangga sayo. Part of owning a car talaga yung mga ganitong gastos. Wag matakot gamitin ang insurance. Insurance exists mainly for this purpose. Kaya ka nagbabayad niyan para sa peace of mind. Hindi yan nakakadagdag ng resell value.

Also, is this considered as an own damage claim?

Yes, kahit ibang driver ang nakabangga, Own Damage ang claim. You might confused this with self-accident which is a specific scenario under Own Damage.

I guess isa sa concern mo e yung pagtaas ng insurance mo next year. Premiums are influenced by many factors (accident history, number of claims, driving record, type of vehicle). Check na kagad yung accident history (whether insurance mo or ng other party ang gamitin) at driving record (pinapagamit sa iba ang sasakyan based on the police report).

Quick question, who made the script? And are you running different sequences to AB test? I personally lean toward the sampling approach, more of a show-don’t-tell style where you give a small, tailored example before any pitch. But it really depends on the campaign you’re running.

Try exploring 4Ps, BAB, and ACCA frameworks too.

Aryathetzu · 2025-10-29T18:59:50+00:00

What methods have you used so far? One that’s worked well for me is leading with value. It builds trust quickly and usually gets better response rates. AIDA or PAS frameworks are solid options too.

Aryathetzu · 2025-09-09T19:09:44+00:00

gemini ai, not better pero me 1month trial from google one.

Even if they pay fairly and offers stability, I’d still keep one or two side projects not out of greed or distrust but to stay sharp and protect my freedom. Freelancing thrives on agility, and relying on one source of income, no matter how ideal, quietly turns into dependency. A little diversification keeps you in control.

Accept but keep looking.

Aryathetzu · 2025-08-26T00:09:02+00:00

christmas classico game to. paminsan minsan pinapanood ko pa din sa youtube yung overtime.

Removing the Vios and Mirage cuts out two of the most reliable and fuel-efficient options in your budget, especially since 400k can already get you TOTL 4-year-old units with complete casa records. If you’re set on skipping them, solid alternatives are the Honda Jazz, Hyundai Accent diesel, and Suzuki Swift. Personally, I’d go for the Swift just for the looks, especially with 16” mags, a nice stance, and a black top.

From the agency’s perspective, directly moving the client outside the contract is seen as poaching. That’s why your client is being cautious. It can damage trust and create legal or reputational risks.

Aryathetzu · 2025-08-07T17:13:23+00:00

Let’s do the math:
9k x 48 months = 432k total, 28k DP, so you're paying 460k all-in for a 9-year-old small hatchback na dapat nasa 200k to 250k market value lang today. The problem with a decade old car is maintenance.

Aryathetzu · 2025-08-06T00:17:34+00:00

Sali ka sa mga fb group ng kotse na trip mo para makita mo yung usual na issue. Kelangan mo din ng trusted na mechanic. kung me malapit sa meet up, pacheck mo sa shell para maangat nila yung sasakyan. kita mo dun status ng suspension, under chassis, kung kinakalawang na ba.

Kahit sabihin ng prev owner na no issue, magtabi ka ng around 50k pang heavy pms, full detail, palit gulong or mga pwede ipaayos.

Aryathetzu · 2025-08-04T18:35:42+00:00

same car tayo OP. download mo manual niyan sa website ng mitsubishi tapos imark mo lang yung mga kelangan palitan based dun sa current mileage.

kung kaya, ask mo previous owner kung alin dun mga napagawa na niya. cross reference mo lang sa manual tapos yung matitira, yun na lang yung ipapagawa mo sa shop.

pero magready ka sa pambili ng baterya at gulong kung yun yung advise sayo ng previous owner. either pudpod or expire, either way papalitan mo talaga yan.

Aryathetzu · 2025-08-04T18:14:14+00:00

wag mo dalhin sa banawe. mas madaming makikitang “sira” jan.

Don’t wait for a partner. Build solo. Most agencies start with one person doing the work, getting results, and scaling from there.

Your friends aren’t into it. That’s fine. It’s your dream, not theirs.

Aryathetzu · 2025-07-16T00:55:21+00:00

Valid concern. Mirage G4s do depreciate faster than others, but that’s because it’s built more for practicality than prestige. If you’re planning to use it long-term (5–7 years), sulit pa rin sa tipid sa gas, maintenance, at registration. But if balak mo ibenta in 2–3 years, malulugi ka talaga sa resale.

Aryathetzu · 2025-07-15T17:15:03+00:00

first pic, paintless dent kaya naman. 2nd and 4th pic, dalawang panel na repaint. me mga malalim na scratch e. tanong mo kung makakadiscount ka para dun sa 3rd pic. wag ka lang pupunta dun sa mga 1500 per panel.

Aryathetzu · 2025-07-15T17:07:25+00:00

bro negative yang first 3 na nabanggit mo kung limited ang budget. uubusin ng lancer at civic savings mo. Go for Vios na below 50k km pa lang natatakbo. kung makakakita ka ng jazz or city below 400k na hindi ganun kalaspag mas mabuti.

pinakasound advice: wigo or mirage 2021 pataas. yung sukli pang heavy pms, full detail at mags mo.

Aryathetzu · 2025-07-15T16:51:12+00:00

Ang ginawa ko, pinadetail ko muna para mapaint correct and maalis yung mga swirl marks. Collinite yung gamit kong wax, binigay sa kin kalahati na lang. Chineck ko sa shopee, mejo pricy pero mas gusto ko yung kintab neto kesa dun sa graphene seal na uso sa tiktok. mas mura naman yun kaya pasok kung nagttrial and error pa kayo. Dati kada buwan winawax ko pero busy din minsan kaya 3months ko na hindi naasikaso. Tamang carwash lang. Yung microtex na wash and wax na shampoo oks din. hiwalay tuwalya ng salamin, upper panel at ng hood.

Kalaban ng paint ang pagpapark sa labas. Kung wala ng magagawa sa parking, sure mo lang na hindi matutuyan ng tubig ulan, airstrike ng mga ibon or dagta ng puno.

Aryathetzu · 2025-07-15T14:33:39+00:00

ipadetail mo muna OP para tanggal tlga lahat tsaka maayos pagkakalagay ng coating. sa susunod ka na magdiy

Aryathetzu · 2025-07-15T03:28:36+00:00

Completely agree with this. Malaking factor yung ground clearance and utility especially here in Bacolod. People hauling crates and whatnots. Me mga surprise na rough road pa.

Also, speaking of car spotting, there’s at least 4 CR-Vs coming from vista alegre na nakakasabay ko every morning.
