drive

we are lucky enough to live in present , back in the sixties or seventies only the rich can own a car , and only 4.78% of malaysian own driving license ( according to yeoh's survey which is wrong ) by now even the poor guy like me could save up for a car , cars are built to carry people to the place they wish to , there is a design called roof so we are able to drive in the rain and under hot sun that melts . however some people will crave for more than a car's opportunity <---correct spelling ? i gain another unhealthy hobby beside of playing pool , computer games , sleeping and eating meat , this 1 is called bend car.

to do this , u have to be very careful , concentrate , brave and stupid ... there is a limit , for the car and i , so u read in magazines that tell u to enter the corner with slow speed and after the apex press hard on the accelerate pedal but the problem is , how slow should i enter the corner ? to the club of fast corner, i have to attack the corner with fast and make sure that the car aint sliding under or oversteer , im not sure about the limit yet not allowed to try the limit or i will end up dead meat , on my 3 years old yokohama tires , the screeeching sound produced when first i enter the corner is already max for me , it makes sound but it still grip and catching the road nicely and thats it , should i go further ? louder screeching sound maybe ?

it just dangerous , when u found that the corner infront is not leveled , if its uphill , then most probably u will be fine but when it comes to downhill its not , too fast for a tight downhill corner , put more pressure on the brake pedal ,the situation might be , 1: locking all the wheels and u cant turn the car let the fate decide u crash into the wall or hit any obstacle there might be ( talking about hillroad) 2: your car's ass just slide out and u have to counter steering make it a pretty drift pass the corner or spin and stop on the road if u are lucky. actually im quite afraid of tail sliding off track when i don wan it to .. it just scary and happen about 5 times in the past of my life and im so lucky to live still . distraction , misjudge or sms while driving = fatal .

realize that what i lack of , not power , torque , better car or better handling .. it just my driving skills , need to train , and know more about my car ,when its going to skid , and when its not ... looking for extractor swap and short shift modification soon to find back more potential of my engine , im not sure about other cars but this 1 i own is really great for skill training , to become a safe driver we have to understand the car motion first right ? . god bless me i cant afford any bodywork repair or injuries. lets go hill driving sometimes ...
