driving

ok, great, another driving session. im supposed to be enjoying this more than anyone, since im a petrol head. i know they only give you a damn kancil, but when you're burning someone else's clutch, it's still supposed to be fun. the bike stuff is really pissing me off, because i keep getting fucked up kapcais that keep dying when i lock the rear wheels. either im the only one who actually went full speed and really jam the brakes in the emergency braking test, or the bikes they provide need new engines. this whole driving experience so far is nowhere near tolerable. to be exact, it's like going to school when i was ten, almost identical. i hate getting up early so i can be somewhere i don't like, i hate wasting one hour to get to drive a car i feel like crashing. the psp isn't much help because then people will think im some rich bastard showing off or some geek will approach me and ask what game im playing. on the brightside, im getting pretty good at bikes. heck, only rode them twice. and im getting used to the steering wheel and pedals. my life revolves around the ps2, which means im so used to the dualshock, where X means go, square means stop, and circle means im losing it. so adjusting to a real life driving tools takes some time, on the road and off the game.

just a few questions on driving though. with the younger generation are accustomed to dualshocks, why not use them in cars? if it works in the virtual world, why won't it work in the real world. it will solve a lot of problems too. it will definitely be a solution to the right/left hand drive issue. and it will save a lot of cabin space as well. and it will prevent the brake pedal from crushing your foot or the steering wheel from breaking your ribs, because they wont be there at all.

then, we come to manual cars. you see, there are a lot of transmission in the world today, we have auto, semi-auto, manual, and single gears. even in a manual car, you can have them without clutches, like those with the flappy paddle gearbox. so why must all of us be tested with only one type of transmission that will be obsolete in the future? as you are aware, we are running out of petroleum soon. and the alternatives are bio fuel, electric and hydrogen. so far, the most promising one would be in the form of a honda clarity which runs on liquified hydrogen. it mixes hydrogen with oxygen which results in electrical energy and pure water. the electricity will run an electric motor which drives the wheel. for your information, electric motors have only one moving part, which means there's no gear, which means there's no need to shift, which means we wont need a damn clutch anymore soon. so just get rid of it before i burn all the clutches in the driving school.
