Need a "car".
Yes, an update after some time. You may think that after getting my driver's license a while back, I've killed or at least badly injured myself. Didn't happen, I was just lazy to update this friggin' blog.
And that's kinda the point of this post. After I got my license, I've been driving cars we have at home, a bunch of cars that my friends own , but in the end they are all the same. You get it, fire up the engine (like it was an obvious thing that should occur), select the D on the automatic transmission and that's about it. Of course, if you feel sporty, you just slam the throttle through the floor or fiddle with those paddles under steering wheel. But I feel that's not the thing that will teach me how to drive. And if anything happens the MMI or iDrive will tell you "Your brake pads are worn and shall be replaced in 3000km". It will tell you about everything, seat-belts, open doors, lack of windshield washer fluid, when you run of gas, where buy it and even engage the parking brake when you turn off the engine.
That's all very nice but the whole car then feels like GTA or Need for Speed game. You board your safety bubble and cruise around. Those cars will do anything but teach me to drive and understand how a real car works. So after seeing the TopGear: 100 pound car challenge, I think that's the way to go. I picked the price range of around $500/£250 because there are simply no street legal cars for £100. What I'm asking you, is to donate. C'mon, this is the internet, people have been donating to a guy who bought a Wii/Xbox 360/PS3 and smashed it. Along with our donation, you can make a suggestion, but things like "remove all the seats and turn it into rally car" or "smash it against wall like Jeremy did" - they will go last when I get bored of it ;)
Below you can finance my boredom ;)
