cool
billy187:
Well, funny thing- I can't really put a finger on it. But then I prefer getting around by driving my jalopy much more to being driven around in an S Class.

Perhaps it's the content I feel from having absolute control over a metallic one tonne monster that feeds on dead dinosaurs and is propelled by little explosions. grin

dead dinosaurs u say... cool

Please try to get a drive in a proper car with auto transmission.

Many modern automatics are actually faster than the manual equivalent model.
It's not true... manual transmission is usually faster than automatic. just that most new cars with monstrous engines come with auto transmission. if such cars can come with manual transmission, only then will u understand what speed means grin

I enjoy driving when a pretty girl in mini skirt is sitting by my side and I occasionally caress her laps and make her giggle. Mehn, only a few people know the sensational pleasure having a hard on while driving.

being in charge, i would even prefer to drive 24 hours than sit as a passenger for 12 hours

and damn i love the blast of good music from my gbedublaster speakers when all windows are fully wound up at Night and on 60 - 80mph speed

Do you know the meaning of equivalent?

Actually, never mind. I should have known better.

I love speeding. You can never catch me driving slow, except the car is faulty.

I enjoy driving in traffic. I know, weird. But It's always fun cutting in front of other drivers, switching lanes. grin

I love the mental work involved: "would I fit in between those two cars? Can I quickly overtake before that trailer gets close" etc..

Best of all, I love long drives. Nothing beats cruising while blasting Yanni, or Bone Thugs, or Rihanna in your car. smiley


Ur simply crazy... grin grin grin grin
Anyways u just described me in ur write up but I hardly play Yanni. About NFS, I did Lagos to Owerri in 4 & half hrs(fastest time 4 me).
About ur description of "TURBO"....ur simply crazy but am sure u will love me on wheels... grin grin grin grin

By the way, I love Benz, Range, Zlatan, Hamilton, Michael Shumacher and Siberian Husky. They can make any grown man smile... grin grin grin grin

Not many people enjoy Yanni's songs. My dad's driver usually tells him "Oga, please make we no play Yanni today. The songs dey make me sleep. Lmao!

I'd definitely love you behind the wheel! You're a fast driver. And I love the fact you love Hamilton, Schumacher, my boo Zlatan, dogs, and my favourite make of car Mercedes-Benz!!! kiss kiss

Can't wait to buy my W140. Then, we'd race!!! grin

You guys really need to expand your horizon. The smartphones in your hand is not limited to Nairaland only.

"It's no loss, says Ken Hill, a professional racer, driving educator and vice president of operations for Automotive Adventures in Bellevue, Washington. "Some people are stuck on the mindset that a driver is faster with a manual box," Hill says. But there's a reason why some major performance-car manufacturers, including Ferrari and Jaguar, no longer offer traditional manual transmissions, he says. "They just aren't as good." "

Most modern automatics are faster than manuals. Same car, same engine.

For me, I am like Arsene Wenger when it comes to driving, using so little to achieve so much. I don't care about your 2014 or 2015 cars, just get me a 2002 Nissan frontier with a very fat tire or an 06 Highlander. For me, it's not about speed, it's about balance.if I beat you on a 010 gwagon or 09 full blown Tacoma, it's not an achievement.

Was discharged from hospital yesterday morning, had to make it to lagos from osogbo, automatic saved my life w203, no companion and sedative was still heavy on me. Eyes were virtually closing during the trip. If it was manual, I don't know what would av happened.
Re: What Do You Love/Enjoy About Driving? by MizAijay(f): 11:12am On Jan 04, 2017
I enjoy driving manual cars. I find automatic cars boring. The changing of gears and the footwork involved while driving a manual car gives me the feeling like I'm one of them drivers in the fast and furious movies.

I love the fact that I'm not a passenger

I love (long) road trips.

Driving in the rain. The wipers (moving at the 2nd/3rd speed) has an effect on me I can't explain.

The feeling I get when downshifting from 5 to 3 to overtake (long vehicles) is only next to having an orgäsm. The sound of the engine at the point.... OMG

Switching lanes while using my trafficators accordingly as I overtake left and right (on a dual carriage highway). Abuja-Kaduna highway in the evening comes to mind.

The mental calculations I make before overtaking on single carriage roads. I particularly enjoy this on the ever busy and tricky Lafia-Akwanga road.

Listening to fuji/soukous/rock/highlife on a road with plenty (moderate)'potholes and patches as I change lanes knowingly e.g katsina-ala--Yandev stretch of k/ala-Makurdi road.. Keffi-Kachia road with those daredevil Opel Vectra guys giving a hot chase.

Opel vectra drivers! I dont know if there is a demon specially allocated to opel vectra. The drivers are just something else.
