One late night, a gang of cars cruised down the streets. A red light lies in front of them. Three cars line up followed another four cars behind. Engine revs, exhaust blaring... The light turns green, all cars launched, rubber burns, clutch being forcefully engaged producing a grinding sound.. First gear..... The car in the middle pulls two car length from the rest.. Cars behind went left and right to try to overtake one another. Second gear... The distance is now four car length.. Exhausts sound from the cars are enough to wake up the neighborhood... Third Gear ! All cars blast thru the junctions without stopping... Car exiting from the expressway braked upon seeing cars blasting thru the small road they are about to enter. The speedo reads 140km/h when it just passes two traffic lights... It is six car length by now. A steep right turn lies ahead ! Second Gear... 90km/h and the car swerve into the bend...... The car in front remain victorous..... But what is the point.......
Sometimes it is really amazing how someone can talk about something that they thought they know very well... I was really a bit disgusted by his lack of knowledge and wanted to correct him but then I just held back and listen to his piece of crap... Let me quote examples.
(1) Anti absorbing bar. (So what is it suppose to do ? cancel absorbing power ? Kaoz) It is call front tower strut bar.
(2) Short absorber. It should be called coilovers or lowering springs.
(3) Shorten gear. A gear is just a round piece of metal with teeth, how in the world can a gear be shorten !! CMI !! It is call close gear ratios.
This is just to quote some of the things he said. Basically I am just turned off and just stone and pretend to listen to him and hoping that he finishes his piece of crap and leave me alone. He is not just lan4, he is pathetic. So it brings me to the morale of the story, never pretend and act like you know a lot if you know a little. It is always good to be humble.
I had a DIY session last night. A great turnout, lots of cars. But sometimes it does get irritating when someone repeatedly ask you the same question even after you have told him the answer. But I can forgive them cause a car is not cheap and they certainly want the best for their cars. But don't they know that sometimes you cannot have your cake and eat it at the same time ? (not sure if I put down the correct quote, haha) Last night quite happening.. Got one person self locked his car.... end up his door cannot open... So there we were trying to pick the lock to his own car. haha.. but we really manage to do it. haha.. One came in with a really loud exhaust.. Those kind bassy enough to triggle shock sensors in car. haha... Power sia... My car looks the most friendly. haha... Original car. No body kits.
Keeping every secret...
