experience

Everyone drives like a beginner when it comes to driving the new car.

Car came yesterday, and whole family went out. Bro was the first to test drive when driving it home and driving it to camp to get stuff. When parking at home, he "shi che". Shi che direct translate means, dead car, meaning, it's caused when either e clutch is released without enough acceleration while on a particular gear. It can also be caused when it's at the wrong gear at the wrong speed. Bro dead car happened when he park. It happened again when he go petrol kiosk. Bro is the most expert driver at home, although dad is a taxi driver.

Up next, dad's experience. He drove us all to IMM Giant. While parking at Giant's parking lot, dead car happened. 2 car had to stop and wait for him. Haha. Then, the control of the car is bad bad too. Sitting behind causes headache. He stepped brake too hard, and while changing gear, he released e clutch too fast.

Up next, mum's experience. She drove us home from IMM. Anyway, mama got e most "license". She got a small bus license too. She went to test for class 4 before too, but failed 3 times. Back from digression. Mum's weakness is starting of car. When the car stopped at traffic light, and then start when green light, the starting of that always cause a jerk. Parking also dead car. Worst, she don't even know that e car is dead, because it's simply too QUIET~! Engine quiet and clutch and everything quiet. Smooth~!

Me, i drove to school today, with mama at my side. Today is the first year of my license~! YIPPEE. so i officially drive without triangle~! OF cos, i have loads of mistakes. Biting point hard to get, not used of power steering car, turning sucks, gear control weak, and miscalculation of car width until i cut lane~! haha. The appearance of the car is small, but when u drive it, it's really big. Just look at the amount of space it used up when parked. Almost all. Width is much bigger than old car too. And it's HIGH~! Higher than most car on the road, i think. Haha. My parking, ok lar. Haa. Again, i dead car too, and mistake being, i forgot to pull down hand brake. Wahaha.

Y dead car when parking: This new car, there's different gear for reversing. What i mean is, when u switch to reverse gear, u have to push up a kind of lever below the knob of the gear "pole". Ya holding of the gear "pole" needed to change too. Once u hear the "beep beep" sound, it mean reverse gear engaged. When reversing, i don't know y, but we always step v v lightly on e accerator pedal, so, that cause e dead car. The car is always V QUIET. It's always rather easy to start the car, but it's so quiet that if u're driving alone at night, without radio on, it'll be a scary experience. Maybe u can even hear e ant crawling, if there is one. V V QUIET. The car also save petrol. We used quite alot, yet e fuel tank needle only moved A LITTLE. If you look from the left side, parallex error would show it's full tank~! I LOVE THE CAR~!

When can i finally get use to the car? Do i need to get back the triangle plate? Hmm...
