We all have that one car (or more) that we dreamed of back when we were kids. We’d buy posters of them or even Top Gear Philippines issues with those particular cars on the cover. Back then, all we could think about was saving up to eventually buy.
As we grew older, though, our responsibilities and priorities continued to change. Lucky for those who eventually got to buy their dream cars, but for many of us, we never got the luxury to do so, be it because of the lack of time or money.
But assuming you did have both of those, would you still buy that dream car of yours? We recently took to social media to ask you guys exactly that, and we got some very entertaining answers. You can read on below to see a few of them.
