Why I love CARS

Just now, I saw a car that looks like Ferrari from the window of my room.

So, lets say why I love cars.

Well, don't feel like doing in point form.

The first thing is that, nice cars always look beautiful and very attractive. Looking at those cars will make me think of speed, and thus I will start to think about driving.


Lamborghini Diablo. The famous Lamborghini.

Actually everything that is on a car, especially sport cars, can draw my attention easily without any reason. I like to discuss with my friends, just saying some thing minor like rims, and we can discuss about them for a long time.


A sport rim from Lamborghini. Can't figure out which Lamborghini is it. Well, any Lamborghini car can fit this in.

The internal parts of a sport car often look nice, but may not that comfortable inside. At least what I know is that the seats are not comfortable for safety and stability reasons. For super sport cars like Lamborghini, sitting inside is like sitting in a warm room, because of the heat from its super-powerful engine that is placed just behind the driver seats (and it is named "mid-placed engine"). In older model like Lamborghini Diablo, no power-steering is provided, so driving it is just not that pleasure. That's what Lamborghini is famous in, namely "Men's car". A more thing to note is that, for Lamborghini, you can't really see anything behind from the rear mirror (that's the mirror in centre). The company has said something like, "We don't really need that kind of things, because no car is able to chase us on the road." Well, good or bad, I don't have the power to judge.

Dashboard, which includes speedometer and tachometer, is another thing that I really love. For a sport car, a tachometer sometimes is more important than a speedometer, because it tells you exactly when to swift up your gear. The car that I drove is not a sport car, but still, I look at tachometer more often than speedometer, because it is really useful to tell me the engine activity. Of course, for an auto-transmission car, you can just treat the tachometer merely as some nice looking object. One thing interesting about normal car engine is the concept of maximum torque and maximum horse power. Of course, talking about them is really technical, so I have to avoid them here.

Tachometer - from Wikipedia
A tachometer gauges the speed of rotation of a shaft or disk (from Greek: tachos = speed, metron = measure), as in a motor or other machine. The device usually displays the rate of revolutions per minute on a calibrated analog dial, but digital displays are increasingly common.

Actually, the most interesting parts of a car, is its heart, the ENGINE. For a guy who love to drive like me, sounds from engine can certainly make my blood burns. Engine makes good sound only at high rpm, and you can tell the smoothness of an engine by hearing how it increases rpm. There are really a lot of things to talk about engine, because it is one of the greatest invention that man ever built.
