What splendid weather we’ve had this past week! Clear skies, no volcanic smog, and rain showers every once in a while to keep us from getting overheated. It feels like summer in the “-ber” months. Something else that was rather heated was your reception to our stories from the last week. Here are your favorite five from October 9 to 15, 2023, in this edition of the AutoFun Philippines Rearview Roundup. Go, go ATTO 3!

Oh say, can you see…? Yes, I can see this behemoth of a car in the middle of the narrow Philippine road! Yes, it's that big!
