My Old and Trusted Steed (‘97 Mazda 323 Sedan)
by iano16 on Aug.01, 2010, under Travel
Here’s my old, trusted and reliable 1997 Mazda 323 Sedan where it brought me to so many places already since 2004 where I first acquired it. Yes, this old stallion is my lonely workhorse going to afar cities and places such as Baguio City, Subic, and Uminggan town of Pangasinan.
Since I am a mountainbiker, I used it going to unfamiliar terrain and passing through some dirt/off roads such as the Pestano farm of Antipolo, Rizal; Sitio Alabastro of Barangay Ayusan 2, Tiaong, Quezon; and barangay Tungtungin at UP-Los Banos where an SUV or a 4×4 is a good choice of transportation. Since it is a sedan, you can’t avoid getting its under-chassis scraped passing through this dirt roads. I pity my sedan. haha! But at least a little bit proud because it was able to go and pass some roads where other cars can’t.
This 1997 Mazda 323 is based on Mazda B platform shared similarly by the Ford Escort. And since it is already more than a decade old, I already replaced a lot of its parts/components such as the timing belt and water pump. It’s a real headache maintaining an old car, but what can you do if it is the only car you have?

July 02, 2010. I received a notice from our post office informing me that I got a priority mail package at post office and needs to pick it up personally. First came to my mind, that it maybe the MX/DH goggles that I ordered (as a sponsored athlete) from Steel MX. With excitement, of course, I dressed up casually and rushed going to the post office since it is just about 4 kilometers from home.
After paying the post office Php35.00, for whatever fees it maybe, the package is now in my hands. And yes! it came from Steel MX.
18 days shipping from the USA. Well,that’s a little bit fast as per my expectation. Philippine postal office has a history of inefficiency and lost mail/packages when I was a kid. That’s why I’m a bit worried sending the package via USPS. Perhaps our Philippine post office did changed for good. Well, hopefully…
At home, I opened up the package and it contained the dolomite and corrosive goggles.
Checking the goggles gives me the impression that it is really good, especially the corrosive. Though, I still have to try it in real application, and that is downhill mountainbiking…
Thank you Steel MX!
