this is typical of new cars ownership.

just like my junior staff bought a his new Iphone a few weeks back. Buy expensive leather sleeve for it. Then buy a few fancy silicone sleeves too.
He even said the takes his new iphone to sleep, coz the syoikness.


Anyway, back to the topic in hand....

I once had a female colleague staying in PJ. She bought a brand new Vios. Her knows-all father told her not to drive so fast and should maintain engine speed below 2500rpm so the new engine can break-in. (dont ask me why that rpm and how).

So, she really religiously drove at snail pace everyday to & fro office/home via LDP. Every car driving behind her honk her like nobody business. She pulak, ignored everybody.

Now, imagine every new car owners drive like that in KL....

We imagine her takut2...
While the reality is, she blame any other driver honking at her...
"Why go fast? cannot see traffic ahead ah? cannot see this is new car ah? Stupid fellas...."

I think the key is to drive at reasonable speed, that goes with the flow.

I am sure driving, say 60kmph in a 90kmph zone is perfectly legal. One can even drive at 30kmph if she/he wanted to.
But imagine the situation when the car is holding up traffic in KL. I think this is like road-hogging.

Anyway, I am sure bro at ZTH understand how & why "pole position" works in F1 races.

I have heard that some overseas highway have dedicated lane speed limit, meaning example, lane for 90, 110 and 130, and if you are doing slower than 110 then you have to be in 90 lane and if slower than 90 in the slow lane. Seems you can get fined for that.....

Like my kancil hahaha. Seldom rev it unless up hill have to use low gear

That was told by sales advisor usually, Not to rev the car over certain rpm until engine break in after 1000km what no?

It depends on whether the woman cares and bothers about the car or not. Some do know a thing or two about car maintenance.

Which category that I feel is worse would be new drivers or young college/uni students. I'm a uni student myself and I have seen how many other students maintain their cars. Bumper scratches across all 4 sides of the car is fairly common even in cars which is not even 1 or 2 years old. Lower area at front bumper or front lip scratches and cracks is also very common. Not to mention, they just simply park their cars by the roadside or anywhere, drive through speed bumps without really slowing down, drive over curbs at sidewalk while turning corners....

What saddens me the most would be that sometimes I ask them whether do they care about their car's maintenance. The most common reply that I got would be "I don't know. My father will take care and pay for all that." When I ask them, what will you do next time when you started working and you are in charge of maintaining the car. They'll probably say, "That time only learn la."

my wife follows my style of driving, so I guess her car is as tip top as mine,
maintenance wise & filling up petrol I will do it.

That actually stems from how they are raised int he family. If the father never taught them and just take care of the car himself then cannot entirely blame the kids also, got 50-50 blame there. When I was a kid, my dad already always asked me to help in any household and car work that can be done ourselves. Start from the simplest of things of just holding the flash light to where he needed to work on things, to helping him getting tools, until I can start using some tools myself etc2. From those I learnt a lot. I'm also very lucky that I have a dad that also wanted to DIY many things even though he actually more than capable to simply close eyes & pay people to do those things for him. I remember at the beginning I used to dislike helping him coz sometimes he yelled at me etc2 and I was also not interested to do all those things, you know la kids only want to have fun playing right? But after I reached high school, I started to appreciate it, and actually often volunteered to help him to get things done faster and I could also already help do more things while he's getting older. So then when I finally got a car, I could already done some simple things on it and understand how car works and builds more interests. Only now as I get older and already in uncle age, I don't do as much DIY on cars anymore and also because cars are getting more complicated every time but at least I still take care of them. Even so, I still DIY some stuff, even repainting the interior of my house, while all my friends are just shaking their heads and told me they will just pay someone to do it. So it just originated from how my father raised me and keep building from there. I'm now starting to do the same to my boys also coz I don't want them to be ignorant later.

Good point 6ue5t, is the interest that make us want to know how things done.
But need practical also. Just look and no interest to try ourselves, back to square one.
