Piloting a Spaceshuttle

Hi, my dear readers! ^___^

Okay, I confess, this time I will write again about cars... Because at the moment I'm just too fascinated about them! Since I got my driving license I'm practising a lot and get used to the little white Ford Fiesta I'm allowed to drive. It's already 26 years old and will receive an H-license plate in four years, has fantastic 50 HP and reaches the maximum of 87 mph. Thus everything is still analogue: The starring wheel without power starring, a rough gear shift (since we're mostly driving gearing cars here, not automatics), no ABS system, just the minimum of applications on the dashboard. At least it has a brake booster. These are "Elliot's" features (since some of the license plate's initials are LJ xD) - but he is quite a cute car, like a good-natured old friend. I like driving with him very much ^___^

But now to the other side. As the headline already reveals, today I tried out driving another car. It was my parents' normal car, a Chevrolet Cruze; and you really can't compare it with Elliot. Twice as long and heavy, 168 HP and packed with technical gimmicks - and that's the reason why I felt more like controlling a spaceshuttle than driving a car... Just push the gas pedal softly and the car shoots away! It wasn't that easy for me to get used to the increased speed that fast; and I was surprised that it was almost too easy to turn the starring wheel with power starring xD I felt more like gliding over the highway than rustling along with the good old Fiesta...

Conclusion: I don't know which car I prefer now... Of course the Chevrolet is very enjoyable to handle and a very elegant and modern car, but Elliot just has flair~ I will continue driving Elliot primarily because of pragmatical reasons, but if I'm allowed I'll also take one or another tour with the Spaceshuttle ^___^

well, just the thoughts of a beginning car driver ^___^ it's strange that I got to like cars that much although no long time ago I was against driving cars and getting a driving license at all. But to be honest: It can give you a feeling of your personal little freedom, when flying along the highway...
But never forget: Power is nothing without control - and always just drive that fast as your protection angel can fly.


See you soon ^___^
