Why the Toyota Camry is for senior citizens?
I woke up one morning, after having one of those nights when you have an online assignment and you keep waking up in between sleeps to see if “NEPA” has brought the light so you can charge; well, they lived up to their name. Anyways, I prepared for class, spent an hour admiring my new 50M G series waterproof sport watch (don’t confuse the 50M with 50million, I wouldn’t want to get kidnapped after this article is published). Yes, I love cars but I love my time pieces too…whether my divided love is considered as cheating or not in the automotive world is a discuss for another day, I digress… Then I set out for the day.
While carrying out my early morning trekking ritual to school, I unconsciously made a rather interesting discovery; I observed that the cars partaking in the morning rush hour race had more of the 2003-06 Toyota Camrys, Lexus ES300/330, Toyota Matrix, Pontiac Vibe, the all but scarce 2003-06 Corolla and other cars that love to liter the road like someone dumped a waste at Eagle's Square and forgot to clean up the mess.
The 2003-06 Toyota Camry, popularly called “ Big Daddy” or worse “Big for Nothing” got my attention, not because she got a big fine behind that could contain a fully grown family of African elephants but the age group of the majority of the people I saw behind the wheel whom I estimate to be 45 years and above.
This raised some questions in my mind, why do the "senior citizens" love the big daddy in this area of the world? Is it because of its big nickname? Does the name give an impression that it's meant for the old or the aesthetics just appeals naturally to them? Is it because of its capacity to contain more occupants and goods? Or its just one of those love stories written from heaven? Who even named it big daddy to start with!!!

Motorsports, A Potential Industry In Nigeria.
Nigeria is a country with great potential and untapped resources. A country with a population of 170millon people with 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Crude oil being the major Industry contributes to about 70% of the country's GDP. The ignorance of developing other industries have caused the large gap between Oil and other sectors like the Real estate, steel, construction, agricultural, science and technology, solid minerals and many more. However, what seems to be missing is a Motorsport Industry.
The Motorsport Industry of a country basically provides engineering and service businesses that support the sporting profession of motorsports. It serves as a connection for all racecar drivers, auto mechanics, engineers and financial institutes. The success of the industry in other countries is attributed to the proper investment, management and promotion put in place by organizations. Nigeria is no doubt capable of building such industry what is needed is the availability of Big time investors or sponsorship, a conducive racing environment, professionals, associations for drivers and a global business network. Business groups or individuals, financial institutes like banks are needed for the development of Motorsport in various areas such as construction of tracks, payment of salaries, sponsorship and so much more. Insurance companies are not left out knowing the high risk involved in this industry.
An arena is needed where racecar drivers, supercar lovers can gather for a show. Large expenses of land is needed in the construction of a racing track, these tracks can be situated in States like Lagos, Oyo, Enugu, Kaduna and Abuja for accessibility and large excess in land.
Drivers, mechanics, engineers, race staffs, medical staffs all need proper screening and training. Racecars are said to be very technical depending on the mechanism adopted, experts are needed too for effective performance. An association through which drivers are screened and registered before racing should be created to assist in the proper documentation and management of the record of drivers and their activities, and also supply motorsport competitors with the equipment necessary to participate in the sport.
A global business network. The industry should be connected to other motorsport industry in other countries to foster the relationship and to earn international recognition. This business network is where investors, banks, law firms, insurance companies are interested. Investors are after the profit return the business brings in future, banks will make sure the industry players have there finances on their watch. Law firms come in to take care of the agreements and lawsuits and they could be solicitors to companies who manufacture and sell there cars or engines.
Motorsport like any other industry will create employment opportunities for the skilled and unskilled. Racecar drivers, auto mechanics, engineers lawyers, auto sale consultant, accountants, medical staffs, race staffs, maintenance team for the track and the environment

Bosch Introduces An All-electric e-Kart.
"Bosch creates an electric go-kart, a new face for motorsports"
The german multinational engineering and electronics company, has created an electric e-kart that is capable of doing 0-to-60 mph in under five seconds and a top speed of 80 mph. E-karts have been known to be gasoline-powered, which is the industry standard for kart racing but with the introduction of the e-kart the standard is about to be raised.
The e-kart has been designed from scratch to finish and it comes with;
- High-tech EV drivetrain onboard.
- Bosch's new BRS boost recuperation system, which is placed underneath its plastic body panels.
The BRS system is made up of two electric motors and a 48-volt lithium-ion battery that drive the e-kart's rear wheels. It supplies up to 221 pound-feet of torque and the electric motors also generates electricity that can be later used for acceleration.
This is a good development for the beginners. What do you think? Let us know in the comment section below.
How To Drive A Manual Transmission/Stick Shift - 3.
Learning to drive a manual transmission is a lot of work which with patience, endurance and more practice you will be a pro in no time. Below is the lesson for today if you missed the first two classes, you are pardoned. Click here and here
* COMING TO A STOP.
There are two ways to slow down a standard shift car: Engine braking and free rolling
- Free rolling is taking the car out of gear by putting it in neutral and coast to a stop with the brake. This is considered dangerous as there's no power in an emergency and maybe illegal where you are driving.
- As you slow down to about 10 mph (16 km/h) you will feel the car about to start shaking and vibrating.
- Press the clutch pedal fully down and move the gear shift to neutral to prevent the engine from stalling.
* STARTING ON A HILL.
If you're driving a stick shift, you might end up finding yourself in a hilly situation. There's no shame in using the handbrake when starting on a hill but isn't necessary except for very steep ones.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Step on the clutch and brake pedals
- Put the transmission into first gear.
- Now, slowly release the clutch. When you reach the catch point, slowly release the brake - the engine should hold you in place longer enough to get your feet on the accelerator.
- At this point, you'll need to give the engine a little more gas than usual, to avoid rolling backwards. With more practice, you can accomplish this maneuver without drifting back into the car behind you.
* PARKING.
If you are one who loves to travel around a lot, you must have heard some motorists say; when stopping on a hill, put a manual transmission into first gear or reverse to park it—first gear if you're pointed uphill, and reverse if you're pointed downhill.
* PRACTICE AND KEEP DRIVING.
There is no better way to learn how to drive a stick shift than getting behind the wheel in an empty parking lot then facing your demons by taking that sweet ride into the crazy wild street.
