    I know a lot of old people who just know how to drive, but aren't smooth about it at all.

    - Doesn't know how to rev match when downshifting, leading to jerkiness
    - Abrupt and staggered steering inputs, disrupting the car's balance
    - Poor modulation of brakes when stopping, very strong recoil when approaching a full stop

    These are taught in proper driving schools, and these are universal skills that are applicable even in racing.

    I've also had bad experiences with old people driving my cars... thats why i prefer to drive my own cars [emoji1]

    when gramps drove my car a few years back; at the stoplight, he suddenly revved the car very high then slammed it to drive (its an automatic). the tires were screeching and the car was shaking, i was so scared! and the way he cornered, akala ko mag ro-roll over kami! my whole body was literally nakadikit sa side! maybe he just wanted to bring back the glory days of being young... sorry, OT na hehehe...

    when i was younger, i prided myself in my smooth-driving skills.
    now, i am older, i find my skills aren't as smooth as before.
    it's not the poorly-learned driving skills, as it is the degenerative changes of olding age.

    Hehehe,- I just remembered commenting something to our Tito who was driving his favorite Volvo in NJ, and I was one of his passengers (together with his loving wife, my loving wifey and my in-law)....

    I jokingly told him that he was doing the famous CA rolling stop in an all-way stop (intersection).

    He never talked with me the whole day (that day only)... However, up to this day, I still regret making that "joke-comment"....

    My Car,- My Rules!

    Not with one of my oldest first cousins, who I drove for last Monday (holiday)... He was visiting us from NA...

    Upon entering our vehicle,- he instantly changed the setting of our AC,- thermostat and blower speed and commented that the AC air is "hilaw" and that I should have the refrigerant (he said freon) checked and when was the last time I had it refilled (as the refrigerant should be good only for 3 years)?

    I could only smile and shake my head with the situation I was in...

    All was well,- ended well...

    Yes bro.

    And, I even paid for his family's dinner (and the rest of his siblings, our other first cousins and their immediate family members, too)...

    My only consolation bro,- is that he took another cousin's vehicle on our way back from Tagaytay that night....

    Good luck to my other cousin who drove for him... he he he....
