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?

Thanks, Cher. And yes, you are right. It’s better than have nothing at all.
I looked at your blog just now and looks like your really good in photography. Your pictures are crisp… Good to meet some of my sister’s friend at the web.

Hey Very interesting angle, we were talking about the same thing at the puband found your site very stimulating. Felt compelled to leave you a comment as a little thank you for all your effort.
Please keep up the great writing!
Btw I dont know why nobody is blogging about this free e-cig giveaway youtube vid? It’s New years and the amount of peepswho are giving up smoking is massive. I would imagine electronic cigarettes and quitting smoking will be a hugely googled statement for next few weeks.
Might be a bit out of the blue but traffic is traffic and everyone likes free shit.
I should really run a blog!
love
