Have you seen the silver skoda cab? Looks damn sucky. Skoda.



And guess what. It's a super silent ride. And I couldn't help but to ask the driver.

C: Just wondering, is this taxi running on diesel?
Dvr: Yes, diesel, not patrol.
C: Wow, the engine is very smooth and quiet.
Dvr: Ya, very good huh? -rubs his leather-wrapped steering wheel.

FYI: Diesel powered engines tend to be loud and 'rough' as they do not burn that cleanly, compared to petroleum. Lots of 'knocking' - caused by random mini explosions in the engine when the diesel combust and thus the sound.



Anyway I was driving around today. It's kinda disappointing that there isn't much thrill in driving. Especially so in singapore where the cars are much more expensive compared to other countries and with all the regulations and speed limits etc. So half the time you will be on high alert and driving safely coz you don't wanna damage your ride. Stress. Probably because it isn't my ride and there's more responsibility when driving it.

And driving an ATV(automatic transmission veh) makes driving alot more simpler, taking out the 'thrill' along with it. But it's really much better to drive compared to MTV whereby you have to keep changing gear and fear stalling or over-revving etc. Of course, with practice all those minor things won't be of a bother anymore.

So. Should I get ATV or MTV? My heart goes with MTV.
