I seriously believe that driving used to be a form of exercise in the early days; say the 30s (dah ada kereta kan time tu?) till the 80s.
Imagine having NO power steering, huffing and puffing to turn the steering wheel 6 whole bloody rounds to U-turn your box huge car. Waaaaaa what nice biceps and triceps you have!! Thanks, I drive an Aston Martin made in 1929. Imagine the clutch as high as your knee and having to forcefully push it down (konon no springs la) everytime you shift the gear. Wow, your left leg is so much noticeably bigger that your right! Oh thanks, don’t worry they’ll be the same soon, I just increased the spring on my accelerator paddle.
You guys ever tried driving the good ‘ol Nissan Sunny from the 80s era? To me (yeah I ain’t that old pun) THAT was the heaviest car I ever had to drive!!! With hard to press accelerators, tight gear shaft (yeah stop that thought. NOW), rusted-springy-feel clutches and NO power steering. That car, when I was 18, felt super duper heavy and large.
This particular thought came to me when my clutch set got spoilt and caused me great pain to press the clutch and to shift gears. Yeah I still drive a stick and I’m proud of it bebeh! AT THE SAME TIME, my power steering oil holder thing (hehe not too sure what it’s called. power steering oil tank??) suffered some leaks at the tubes and caused me to huff and puff when trying to turn the car. 90 degrees was bad enough, 180 degrees takes about 5 minutes. Great exercise. Nasib baik tak terberanak. Although the car is just a small 1.3 hatchback.
Total damage: RM500++. Damnnnn.
kawan aku ade nissan sunny masa kitorang study, dia naik the same car going to kindergarden, right up to university and i had the chance to use the car. a ah berat. imagine satu tmpt tuh berbukit, and we’re going uphill, tp kene stop at the edge sbb nak tunggu kereta2 lain pass before masuk jalan tar balik. masa tekan clutch dan trying to leverage dgn tekan minyak tuh, keta tu slow2 gi belakang, i mean tak guna langung clutch function tuh! aku tekan minyak gile babi dgn penuk kepanikan, takut kete blakang kene skali, gile berattttt
pastuh bila kitorang dah cruising on the highway, baru perasan the hand brake is on and all the while, the whole drive was done with the handbrake on. like, baik takyah ada handbrake kan camni. wakakakakakaka.
apehalllll la
but it was pure fun driving the car. tak masuk bau kusyen dia yg berumo berpuluh2 taun lagi tuh.
<p>masa aku study um dulu ada nissan sunny extra tu punya ekzos tercabut sial..</p>
