pag-neutral ng 'matic?

[alwayz_yummy]

at kung coasting pag N ka, suddenly may kailangan umiwas or kailangan mo umalis sa scene, di ka agas makakaalis, lalo na pag manual..nanyari na to sa akin, i'm glad di ko natutunan yang neutral-coasting na yan... sa commonwelth ave, night time, sa may market pagkalagpas ng ever/batasan...nagkaganwang batuhan, buti tinamaan maxima ko sa may ilalim lang, small stone na nadeflect ng kalye.. ang kawawa ung kasabay ko, neutral coasting ata at di nakaalis agad....

kung hilig mo naman D sa stoplight, mindan di mo maiiwasang makaalis ng tapak sa brakes, result: salpuk sa harap! tapos sisisihin mo pa kaharap mo na umatras siya!(eto nangyari sa akin, while maxima ko, ako na nga nabungo, aba pinagbintangan pa ako ang umatras!)

and kung D ka nga while traffic, masmainit ang a/t mo, remember pag sa manual, you release to N, at di ka nag sstay sa 1st gear kasi baka masunog clutch mo? so as sa matic, pag inistay mo sa D, patuloy parin iikot a/t mo, pero, ung clutch mo masusunog.... which results in sliding.. and remember always:

1 lang ang clutch disc ng m/t....racing clutch up to 2-3 lang.. pero ang a/t, kung ilang ang foward gears nyan, add mo ung P, R, N, ganun kadami clutch nun.(so for a 4-speed a/t: 4+3=7!)

why? each gear is the clutch disc also...at unlike sa m/t, manipis lang yan, as in manipis, pero not napakanipis...

sana sir AY, sinabi mo, nakahinto ka... kaya ako laging naka-parking brake. (ang hand brake kasi sa bike lang yun e.)

saka isa pa, lakas nang loob nun ah. sya na nakatumbok sya pa ang galit.

[alwayz_yummy]

akala nya uubra siya sa akin! kala nya type ko siya, taba-taba nya at uklubin pa!

nakakainis ang ganun talaga...dito ko natiyempohan un sa my sidestreets going to UST! malas lang nya shoot sa ilalim ng delica ko noon kotse nya!pero matagal na yun....<--ay iba pa pala to..dami na case sa akin yan,e...kaya ako inis sa drivers na di nag-N at di reponsable sa preno nila!

may isa pang case: aba, nag P daw siya bakit ko daw siya binungo!

hello, tinuro ko sa kanya reverse lights nya! kung di lang naman maganda at swerte nya maxima dala ko.. at wala masyado nawasak..kung ung dating delica ko, sa bullbar palang, ubos na rear garnish nya!

[alwayz_yummy]

actually, matics are not that complicated...basta alagaan mo sa langis, drive sparingly/conservatively..tatagal yan!

Remember the foreigner in the news recently? The one allegedly victimed my the ativan gang? He fell asleep at a stoplight with his Nissan Sentra Exalta in 'D'. As the people were trying to wake him up, his vehicle started to run away.

They had to use the police mobile unit to block and stop it.

I guess he shouldn't have been driving that day. Don't blame the driver because he left it in D, blame him because he should have been more responsible and just rested first before driving.

I'm not blaming anyone. If the driver had indeed been victimized. He wouldn't have know of his incapacity to drive also. Same as having a having a sudden medical condition or getting crashed into at a stop. The chances of the vehicle running away are still higher than if it was not in gear.

Dead man's setting ika nga. Kahit maging-dead ang driver, vehicle will just stay there.

What was the incident about the ativan gang?

What was the incident about the ativan gang?

He was supposedly given a spiked drink by a female companion while they drove around. When he got knocked out, all his money and jewelry were stolen and the thief escaped.

I guess we'll never know because the guy didn't file a report afterwards.
