My family and I have a rental car whilst we’re here in Malaysia for the holiday season.
It can be a bit of a crapshoot as to what car you’ll get. Sometimes they’re modern and well maintained, other times there’s a lot left to be desired.
This time we got a car that has particularly poor acceleration; something I now realise I take for granted.
It takes a noticeable while to pick up any speed, and you need to be extra careful when trying to overtake on a motorway (you need a big gap and a lot of runway).
It got me thinking that it’s not just with cars, but speed off the mark in any project or endeavour gives advantages, options, and a margin of safety that to allows us to change our minds down the line.
For now though, with this car, we’ll be taking it easy in the slow lane; it’s a vacation after all!
