The Yellow Car Club and The Girl Who Loves Yellow

A good friend from way back pointed me to his club’s site and I got curious. It seems that here in the Philippines, some young and hip car owners have resolutely gone against the stereotype of yellow-painted service automobiles and painted their expensive show cars yellow. One of the best ways to establish ties with kindred souls is to go against the tide together, and this is exactly what these car enthusiasts are doing.

The best thing about this club is that it has a Female President, Shel Miranda, and she started the trend. My initial reaction to the club was, “they look like taxi cars”, but upon closer inspection, one cannot really mistake a yellow Evo 9 or the latest BMW model for a cab eh?

When I learned that this girl racer founded and is in control of a club composed of mostly male auto enthusiasts, I could not help but think what kind of guy she could be dating. Someone who is also a car enthusiast, or someone who owns a show car gallery, or both?

Conspicuously absent is a yellow colored Mercedez. I have to admit that I cannot for the life of me imagine one of the cars showcased in a sponsor’s site, New Mercedes DC, in yellow. But then, I have always been partial to the color red.
