Remember when we are young;
Since the creating of automobile, the technology has evolved through the century. From simple mechanically machine to advanced sophisticated technology. Through the century, automobile have been using manual and automatic transmission. In recent time the manual cars have reach to extinctions zone which over 90% of the new car produce where fully automatic (AMT, Torque Converter AT, CVT, DCT/DSG and etc.) leaving the lower percentage for surviving manual vehicles. The progress of mankind lead to more comfortable ride which offer most on the automatic vehicles. By the end of decade, it is predicted the manual transmission would cease to exist in addition of the EV development. Although the Car Enthusiast are very optimist the number would not go down in near future.
Are manual cars being relics from the past when technology breakthrough has not been discovered? It is a no and yes answer depending who we ask. Some car euthanistic and purist claim that driving manual cars having the only experiences that cannot be found while driving an automatic car. When we driving and manual car, the experience of the shifting gears, rev matching and the adrenalin rush are intense than driving automatic car. In contrast, automatic car giving the best comfort for all driving condition especially on heavy traffic.
Consequently, the using of clutch for manual car only need when upshifting and downshifting. The left foot is barely touch and the right foot doing 83% of driving when using manual car. Some people suffer pain of left foot because inaccurate way to driving a manual car by holding the clutch on heavy traffic (which could cause the tear and wear on the clutch disk). The holding clutch practice is use when the car needs extra traction when moving uphill, but as soon as the car catch up with the speed, the left leg finished it job and drive as usual. In other side, driving automatic simplify the works for shifting and let the car travelled from point A to B.
In Conclusion, by changing the driving habit on manual car. We can save our left foot from unnecessary fatigue and money from tear and wear on the transmission. This is just a free thought and some factual notice.
In the dark of the night, Nathan stare out the windows through the pouring rain. He starts wondering how he could chance everything after all have done. Back in the days, Nathan was just an unemployed from any type jobs. Living with his family and seven siblings. Each day, Nathan would always be fighting his family. He is the person who believe he was never in fault for any reason. Kind of narcissist person who he was.
On the fateful day, he was looking for job and he manage to secured a job as a botanist. Nathan couldn’t careless for his job. He works just for the sake proving his families that he was right. On the other side, Nathan still fighting with his relative for he reluctant to admit he was in fault. The fighting was intense, with broken glass and bruises head and body. Couple years past, the Headquarters of his Company hold a recruitment on several posting as Security Guard. Since the posting was placed different area from where he lives, He try to apply the position and secure his position. Although, it would take several months to verify his posting at the new place. Three months later, he finally transfers to new posting location. The news gave big smile on his face which he does not need to deal with his family again.
On the headquarters, Nathan was happy with his but he
could find place to stay. He meets the top official of his company to pledge
for place to crash. The Director, Mr. John arranged he to meet the head of maintenance
for such inquiry. He then met Felix as arrange by the Director and came up with
plan with building additional hut around the worker premise for Nathan place to
stay for a time being. Nathan thanks to Felix for helping him. Several weeks
later, the hut was finished and Nathan now has place to stay.
It
was July when he meets his future wife, a widow, Janet who recently divorced
with her former husband. Janet was very manipulated women and she tries to
convince her former husband to do what she said. But that love just don’t work
out. It ends with bitter divorced. Nathan instantaneously fall in love with
her. Nathan and Janet getting married after 6 months of dating. Janet then live
together with Nathan in his place. With Nathan job as security guard, Janet feel
at ease with nobody would harm them.
Day
by day, Nathan grew more furious and ranting unnecessary to his company. He became
more aggressive and love to spread hearsay. Felix live across the bigger house
at the worker premise. It was a time for him retire and his son Vincent would
work with same company and continue to live in the house. Nathan became envy and
came out with a plan to evicted Felix’s son from that house. At the same time,
the head of security Jack always jealous with Felix achievement and prosperity.
Jack had very high tempered and even try to persuade the director to Evicted
Felix after He retire. However, the director ignores that nonsense and focused
more on the worker welfare.
It was a dark day; the director has passed
away from sudden heart attack. The company was force to appoint new Director, Fred
who was friends of Jack. Jack was enlightened and start his secret plan
silently. It almost two left for Felix to retire and he take his last vacations
before retire. In silent, Jack remove Felix parking spot name and replaced it
with him and deliberately tell the top official to evict Felix family from his
house but halt by the top official which Felix’s son also working in the company
and there is no necessary action to evicted exist worker from the house. Jack angered
and frustrated, Nathan overhear the conversation and fill with thought of snatching
the house and live in prosperity. Nathan came to Janet and she was excited and plan
a great plan on their palm.
Months
later, Nathan meet Jack to construct plan that would works. They complaint to
the new official that the hut Nathan live in ruin and need further reconstruction
and convinced that only security guard have privilege of living in the workers
premise. The new naïve Administration Officer compelled by them and draft memo
for immediate evicted at Felix house where Vincent live now. Vincent was forced
to leave the house and Nathan and Janet spread hearsay about Vincent does not want
to leave the house. Vincent frustrated and left the house forever and start to
find another home. God speed Vincent. Jack and Nathan did it. They celebrated
like a feast and plan to evicted another non-security tenant from worker
premise. One by one, the chase out all the other tenant and completely turn the
place into security guard premise.
Nathan
live in comfort but is came to the end when suddenly Vincent was appointed as
the new Vice Director of the company. Nathan couldn’t show his face to his
company. He has no authority against Vincent. In other side, since Vincent been
chased out, he finds abundant of help from the other worker from the company. They
help him finding new home and he thanks them gratefully. He doesn’t strike back
to those who was frame and
persecuted him. Although, Vincent never treat the worker unfairly and win the
heart of people.
On the cool night, Nathan suddenly fell down on the stair
and his head hit the grounds. Janet find his husband laying and rush to the
hospital. The doctor came out from the result and tell him that he couldn’t walk
normal as some of his nerve had been damage through the fall. To make things
worse, the doctor discover that he was diagnosed cancer. The doctor told him he
can no longer work with heavy task type of work. To Nathan, that would make he
would soon would be evicted from the house. Due to their action in the past,
non-security personnel are not to live in the worker premise and since Vincent
was the Vice Director, Nathan thought Vincent will use this chance to get revenged
on him.
After a long stay at the hospital, he and family packed up things and back to the house. The next days, Nathan meets with Vincent and as expected Nathan was evicted from the premise not because of Vincent, but their doing in the past. Vincent was trying to convinced the top official board but they ignore Vincent pledge for Nathan's stay and doesn’t even bother to hear. The aftermath, Vincent find rent house for Nathan and families. Nathan doesn’t hear since from them because he was no longer work at his company.
Nathan sit at the side of the windows in the dark night,
cool and rainy. Reminiscing the old day and grow older alone. He lost his job,
family and even freedom. Little did he knows, he now old sitting on the old folk
home left alone and waiting to died.
The End
