Mood: Quite.. Awake.Listening To: 3 Doors Down - Here Without YouWell, I'm pretty much awake at this moment although I was supposed to sleep back after dropping my dad off at the airport before 6.30am today. Buh.
But today, was just plain fun.. Fun.. And more fun XD
Once again, the usual Satria came around.. When I mean the usual Satria, I mean the
usual Satria. The ones which has large exhaust pipes, and when you stuff a 1 feet (in diametre) banana into the exhaust, it still moves without the problem of the pipe being overclogged. I suppose Proton cars might have their pros and cons after all.
...
Not.Good riddance. These people are just plain rubbish, but one thing's for sure. For a racer, his gear transmission was uberly horrible. It would've given his future sleeping kids horrific nightmares about Godzilla having the voice of Oprah sqealing about New York.
And his attitude was even worse than Andy Dick and Simon Cowell combined due to the fact that he wanted to pick on a P-sticker driver this morning.
But after my dad got both of his feet on the ground on Airport grounds, all hell broke loose. When I meant all hell broke loose, I meant it. Right in front of my eyes, I saw Satan. Satan who only knew how to go on the 5th/6th gear while running a diesel engine. In fact, he was driving a school bus going at 30kmph for more than 5 minutes on the way back from the airport. That
ulu stretch which is 12 o'clock from the roundabout if you take the proper exit from the Penang International Airport.
I swear that he knew nuts about moving a little bit faster uphill and braking for no obvious reason, behind him were 3 other cars. A calm Wira, a very cautious Vios, and well.. Me.
Right after it was
nearly safe to overtake, I already made up my mind. And like what Lionel Ritchie said on Top Gear when he drove incredibly well; Well, after the first practice lap when the front right tyre came running off the track..
"After today, nothing beats whatever I have experienced.
Not even singing for the Olympics."
For the first time, I felt the adrenaline rush of overtaking 2 cars and 1 bus in a stretch, risking myself knocking into a motorcyclist - if only I was going at 30kmph like that bloody school bus driver.
Traveling at 5.6k rev on the 3rd gear made the whole trip back to my house rather worth it. Having the ECT power on increases the pleasure of feeling the power - only on the 1st gear when you're about to shoot off from traffic lights. Other than that, I think Toyota rips everybody off with this button which would cost probably RM5,000.00
But then again, if you're missing of a clutch pedal, shooting off from traffic lights would be better explained as
crawling away from the lights.
Then came a taxi driver who was probably blind. Firstly, he didn't see an enormous car zooming in from the back coming from Tesco, heading to the Jelutong Express highway at 175 - 180kmph. Although highlighting drivers from far away is an essential when it comes to signals, but he needed a good smash on his rear bumper to realise that I wanted to say: "
Get out of the way, you baffoonic pig-brained numb nut!". Had to cut down to.. I don't know..90kmph.. And where's the fun in that? Especially if that asshole's driving at that speed, hogging up 2 lanes like a
typical Malaysian
Mercedez Benz driver, just that he was a taxi driver.
Yeah. Everybody being written in the above are idiots. Just plain idiots. Ranging from the 30kmph Satanic bus driver to the speeding Camry. Idiots who pisses off other idiots. Especially those typical Penangnite middle lane hogger motorcyclists.
All's well, ends well. I still can't get over the fact that this car provides a lot of screeching understeers. But then again, having tyres that sings high notes makes it up. In fact, those screeching understeers are still the best chords I've ever heard. Not as painful as a high octave soprano opera singer, and not as horrible as the worst grindcore artist.
Thanks a lot for making me enjoy driving a little bit more, you Top Gear dimbwits.
Now, I went through one of Top Gear's episodes, reviewing on this Dutch made car just about 3 years ago? I'd say that it has one of the best looking authentic interiors out there. But for the fact that it's lack of serious metal materials to cover up and make the car a little bit more stable (and also the serious understeers), literally, it'd only look good, parked outside high class restaurants.
The Spyker C8:
Very
very sweet.
On Malaysian newspapers, saying something about Bahasa Malaysia being the national language in companies' legal documents and all that junk - Yeah, do whatever you want you Malaysian peanuts. Just as long as the headlines doesn't mislead and misinterpret where the current Malaysian education system should be changed back to BM. If all the politicians in Malaysia are smart enough, they would not change what Dr. Mahatir done before Badawi took over. But through today's The Star, I think they're hinting for a change.
Well, don't ruin our future
for us, Malaysia. Because of you bastards, we've got people like Wormy migrating elsewhere because it's a lot better than wherever we are.
Well, maybe not New Zealand, but maybe America for him, no?
I'll go take a half an hour powernap now. I just remembered I have classes now. LOL
