Sonke namhlanje siphila phantsi kolawulo lobuzwilakhe lwamanani. La ngamanani entlekele, intswela-ngqesho, iimoto, amandla. Ngaba iyimfuneko ngokwenene?
Ishishini leemoto sithetha nje linengxaki yezibalo. Ngamanani entengiso, awona magunya aphezulu, iitorque, ubukhulu bamavili, amaxabiso egumbi, yonke into! Ukuya kwinqanaba lokuba iintatheli ezilumke kakhulu zibaleka imingcipheko enzulu yokuba ziingcali zezibalo ezikruqukileyo, abathi endaweni yokuba babhale amava kunye neemvakalelo bazive emva kwevili, i-debit ekruqulayo kunye namanani aphindaphindayo.
Ngethamsanqa, kukho indawo yomntu wonke kwaye wonke umntu ulahlekile. Iyaqhuba...
Inxalenye yetyala ilele kobu buso butsha, bungwevu, buphelileyo kwishishini lezemoto. Ukuthanda ukugqibelela, ukhuseleko kunye nokusebenza kwenza iibrendi zilibale ingqwalasela yabantu abambalwa abanengxolo: inkanuko, uvakalelo kunye neadrenaline yokuqhuba.
Ndiyaqonda ukuba isithuthi esincinci esisetyenziswayo okanye ivan yosapho ngoomatshini abakruqulayo njengeKrisimesi eZibhedlele okanye kuMnyhadala we-Eurovision. Kodwa andinakuphinda ndicinge ukuba imoto yezemidlalo, evela kwiintsapho ezilungileyo kunye ne-injini efanelwe igama, i-missile nje ekhokelwayo, apho umqhubi kunye nemiyalelo yakhe ithotyelwe ngasemva. Ukususela ekubeni ngumbhexeshi ukuya kumbukeli nje, ukusebenza kakuhle kwaba ngumbono kunye nolonwabo lwaba ngumphumo nje.
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu
Namhlanje, nayiphi na "itheniphu" ithatha imoto yezemidlalo engaphezulu kwe-300 hp kwaye yenza isekethe ngexesha "le-cannon", ngaphandle kokufumana ukubila okubandayo kwigophe elenziwe ngokukhawuleza, okanye ukubamba i-accelerator ebalwe kakubi. Yonke into ibe "icocekile" kakhulu. Ndifuna ukwenza iqhosha lokutyhala eligqibeleleyo. Igophe eligqibeleleyo? Qhuba loo myalelo. Waya phi laa mntwana unexhala ukuba aye kukhwela imoto ekucingelwa ukuba ingaphaya kwamandla ethu, kwaye wabila isikipa esineadrenaline ekrwada? Ngaba le mvakalelo isekhona?
Kwaye nokuba kukho. Kubhalwe phi ukuba imoto ukuba ibe mnandi kufuneka ibe namandla okuthulula kuyo yonke i-pore, ukubamba okufanelekile kwiFomula 1 kunye negophe kunye nabo bonke ubuhle kunye nokuzola? Ayibhalwanga naphi na, kwaye akunyanzelekanga ukuba ibe njalo.
Ngamanye amaxesha kwanele ukuba yindoda, inkani kunye nokuziphatha kakubi. Ngamanye amazwi: ukuba nobuntu. Yiyo loo nto uninzi lwethu luzithanda iimodeli ezithobekileyo ezifana nezi: Citroën AX: Old Golf's; Datsun 1200; iiBMW ezindala; IRusted Mercedes (ikhona?); IiPorsche zasemva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II; okanye iimoto ezincinci zaseJapan ezifana neMazda MX-5.
Uthando lwemoto kunye nolonwabo lokuqhuba alunayunithi yokulinganisa, ingxelo ebhekisa kuthi kwisihloko seli nqaku: ngaphantsi ngamanye amaxesha ngokwenene ngaphezulu.
Ngethamsanqa, kusekho iimeko ezibekekileyo kule moss yamanani kunye neeyunithi zokulinganisa. Kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, ukuguqula imoto engaqhelekanga ibe yimoto entle, ucofa nje iqhosha, okanye utshintshe amatayara.
