Drifting for Starters

Friday, August 14th, 2009

It should be fun to try drifting if it is you see a big concrete area with nothing on it to hit your car into and avoid getting embarrassed since nobody can see you, especially if you don’t have any idea how to drift yet. First of all, you might want to start by doing a donut. To do this, try to accelerate the car very swiftly and when you are almost red lining in second gear start turning the steering wheel sharply and put your foot on the clutch. Then, pull the hand break up rapidly and then slam it back down but just after you have done that, let the clutch go and power on with the throttle. After that, you should have a control over your car and do the circular motion. After you successfully tried that, you are now set to try drifting around a corner.

To perform a drift, it is very similar to doing a donut but instead of still going, you have to turn the wheel the other way once you are just about around the corner and then put a lot of throttle on and you should be able to do your first driftdrift_ban

My Car and My Refuge

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

In my desperate need for cheap car parts I ended up spending more. I hate myself for being conceited sometimes and not listening to some people who know more than I do. I think it has to do with my compulsive nature, grabbing anything within my reach and make justifications after. The last time I overspent was for car accessories.

I used to think that my car is my second home so it has to be very cozy. I didn’t also listen to my parents when they told me to buy used cars instead of brand new. My reason is plain and simple, with high maintenance and gas consumption I would end up a loser in the end. That one I don’t regret and still thankful until now.

My car is also my comfort zone whenever I get stressed out of work. She’s my sole consolation of why I have to work hard and keep on working more. I can’t blame my sister for being a shopaholic or my brother for being hooked to computer games. Every one of us tends to find a security blanket, be it inside the home or outside. I also believe that security doesn’t just come to a person but it can be from something. No wonder why Japanese keep on inventing robots.
