oooookeee....today i'm taking my day off and hand off from my modelling tools, so take a break. Maybe tomorrow i'll put some updates on Prototype CD 18.0 models.
But today i'm in the mood telling you some funny stories which i always encounter everyday on my way to work.
You see every day i always go to work on my cute little car (actually it was my mom ideas getting this Mr. Bean car for me. One Red color and another is Violet) Its a 4 seater Daihatsu Mira variant with local facelift kits. Very economical fuel saving car ideal for small city that can slot any small gaps between any roads and can max up to 160km/h.
As a driver for a small car there's alot of funny encounter along the way when you drive on the road especially those kind of expression around the people who drive along beside the road. Just image how do you feel if you're driving a brand new superhourse power BMW, Mercedes, Lexus or other luxury car been dusted/smoked by small cheapo car and if its behind you it still can catch up with you infront of the public 10x times cheaper than your. You sure felt ashame having chased by a small car even you push your expensive horse power to the max....what a shame putting hundred of dollars for supercar been screwed by a small car and yet could catch up at heavy traffic and higways..bwaaahahaahhaaa.
If you're driving this small car you can easily test some driver physcology who drive along near by you.
DRIVER PSYCHOLOGY TEST:
#1. Whenever there is a small car infront of them definately they will try to by pass you or cut the line thinking small car is slower than bigger ones even though the small ones move faster than them.
#2. Small car are annoying to them. They are slow. Powerless. Easily to bully and have no respect due to its value....that's what the bug car owner think of you. Try this one out. If you drive a big car at slow pace and tumble a car that's trying to move out from the side junction definately they will wait you to pass safetly. But if you're on small car and driving fast they don't give a damn and just press the accelerator. So what did i do...yeah hit the gas and make them a day they wont forget.
#3. Small car is like a small fly around you. They just pissed you off. If you driving a small car and try to cut over a big slow moving expensive Mercedes Benz and back into the speeding lane leaving him/her behind you ..later you can see that car will chase you back to gain the actual driving lead and take back the shame of getting dusted by small car. This rich man car behaviour is called "cover shame", it means "My car is not some cheap loser and shall not bow to poors man car" that what's in some every luxury driving have in mind. you may encounter this kind of driver 80% chances in long stretch urban area.
#4. Parking behaviour. 87% percent of small mini car owner will suffer dented doors due to harsh bang by another big car doors regardless the driver or the passenger itself. When they notice they make a dent they won't notify a sorry message yet they walk away with it and say "Ah, cheap car..he can fix it in less than a pack of toilet paper. Small car owner should install Teslas coil if they car about their car...every played Command & Conquer strategy game game?
#5. If there's a traffic jam people will blame the small car that cause the problem even though its the other car that stall infront of it but is a physcological behaviour, its a common sense you'll need to find something weak to blame on.
#6. When driving a small car 70% of the time you will encounter a big car behind you speeding doing the so called "drafting" or bumper to bumper kiss telling you to move over and make way for them event though there a big space on the left or right side to by pass.
Above may be some cons but small car can also have pros and big advantages. Other than fuel efficientcy and space saving size below are few advantages:
#1. Is small width measurement help you do evade heavy traffic. Not only can sip though small gaps but you can also join use the public sidewalk along with jay walker if you're in desperate situation, plus this ca are lightweight and can easily climb over some roadside obstacles. When you do that try pull down the windows and give them a smile to those who stranded in the traffic. You'll sure be invited with some fingers and angry jealous mobs. Laugh all the way bros.
#2. Small car have small turning radius. It handles almost like a Go Kart or mini grandprix car. You can drive anywhere inside the urban building, shopping mall corridor or public recreation park. If you watch the movie "The Italian Job" you'll know how fun it is. Just remember the security guards.
#3. Here some fun part. Most cars will probably try to catch up with you and gain position infront of you to so called "cover shame" or "taking back pride". If this happens keep cool and relax, if the guy behind you giving an impression that he felt insulted by your car for cutting him off give him some taste of your medicine. Try get away from him but at safe speed and distance but if he trying to cut you off from the side and giving and evil grind or some bad expression on you. Keep the speed at parallel rate and look out for another car infront of you. If another car infront of you located at the same side/lane where your opponent trying to cut you out then you're in luck...maintain speed and block em. He or she will back off and return back to kiss and eat some dirt/smokes behind you again. If you keep on doing it on along they way you'll notice the car will back off from you and away from you at slower speed indicating he's losing to you and pretending that "oh, its just some itches on my leg that pressed some gas on the car..why should i bother with small car". I'm sure when he/she get back home she'll get stressed and shame of his/her own car for losing to el cheapo car and yell some nonsense to his or her love ones. For you its fun messing around with peoples mind but remember don't do this often and always make way for ambulance or people who are in needs. Apply this wicked tricks to wicked and ego driver only. Hey don't tell people its me teaching you some bad stuff, use your own judgement. Always drive safe, wear seat belts, check air backm driving licence and remember god and his guardian angels.
Ok lastly i want to tell you some simple drving skills and technique on small cars.
Small cars doesn't have much handling and safety specification like as expensive car does but you can do some "know how to drive skills" on safe level.
1. Small car have lousy braking and cornering, When you brake in the straight line even though its a close range emergency brake DO NOT quickly pull the handbrake. Press the foot brake at 70% but do not totaly 100% lock the brake. Quickly shift "DOWN" the gearbox SEQUENTIALLY at fast pace to provide heavy mechanical engine friction which as a brake when transfer to the wheel. When the speed is at ease the you can press the foot brake at 90% to 100% so that the rubber tyre have time to grip the ground without skidding at high speed lock brake.
2. To slow down at the corner without having to suffer speed loss and speed gain after bypass the corner apply mild braking preasure and let go the brake a bit, use gearbox "DOWN SHIFTING" as your mechanical engine brake. The when the car is at stable cirnering position and the body doesn't tilt much apply the accelerator/gas to gain some speed and momentum when you almost clean the corner.
