Roofless twice: Renault Wind and Can-Am Spyder

Maryanka is a real energy bomb, everything happens to her surprisingly quickly, and so we agreed to meet in a few seconds, where she will test the three-wheeled beast, Can-Am's Spyder. "Hey, go to the roof of the garage, there is a 'good' place to drive one lap, and there is still not a lot of people there." I suggested to her. “Okay, I’m flying with Wind straight from Celje, only to make my nail polish dry by the end, I just allowed myself to smudge a little on my colleague,” A voice came from the other side.

My plan worked well, at that time we had two interesting cars in the editorial office, well, more precisely, a car and a tricycle. Auto readers already know both of them, how it was. Renault's Wind, which was led at that time by Maryanka, the most linguistic social chronicler. Nothing escapes her in her work for Nova and Lea magazine, as there is no gossip she can miss. Because she is always on the go, Wind is drawn on her skin. Small enough to park in a small city parking lot, yet lively enough to make driving fun and dynamic. But about what a transmission is, how well the brakes grip and how much torque it has, some other time, this time read how a woman sees a car - yes, quite an interesting look and definitely different from a man.

Maryanka: “Wow, I couldn't wait to bring Renault's Wind to my backyard! The faces of the neighbors were painted in my head, how they would do a million things at once, only to drive past my house and, of course, stare into the yard, where a brand new convertible would be in front of the garage entrance. One for women and especially for men - even if the blonde is not driving. And then came the day D: I rather slowly drove into the yard with the new Wind. Well, to look even cooler, I put on heavy sunglasses and stuffed the neckline. Well, if no one notices me now ... But they noticed me - how else! For the rest, I am convinced that the villagers are also grateful to me for the fact that I received a steel carcass for a short time - if for no other reason, then because they had a topic for difficult conversations in the tavern for at least another month: “Where are you ? think it's Sheshkar Maryantsi's money? Of course, it's not a loan, leasing or sugar daddy, but Renault. Thank you! And not because the car was rough, but because I realized how dreamy it is to be a convertible driver, and especially such a beauty as Wind. All of a sudden, I have countless urgent and urgent tasks, and with them adventures that I won't be able to forget, even if I have dementia. For example, I was driving along the Schmarty road when a guy with an AMG started chasing me. Once he caught up with me, another time I caught up with him - and so on until the traffic light. At a red light, he rode parallel to me, lowered the glass and began to bake me. And let someone say that this will happen to me in my Citroën C1! Or when I went to Vrhnika for ice cream with my friend Nezha. These two guys had a brand new BMW, black and expensive, but when they saw us at Windows they came up to us with their cone and asked if they could take a look at it. 'Of course you can!' Or when I was driving to Mateja Malnar: I had an idea that we could go for a promotion to Urshka Chepin at the Hard Core club. You can imagine how happy she was when she saw me with my ex-husband's girlfriend. Yes, I can be rude - but only rude to win! ”

So our date just happened and her surprise at the strange beast was overwhelming. She liked the large, comfortable seat and was particularly impressed with the acceleration. They're in Spyder really decent and comparable to sports bikes. The biggest difference is that when you buy protective electronics with the Spyder, you can't go wrong. Well, at least not in such a way that, due to excessive speed, he lowers his ass or "lies down" in a turn. The electronics take the power from it in the corner and transfer the torque to the wheels only to the extent that they need it. Long corners are a real pleasure, and the Spyder drives through as if glued to the rails. On the other hand, the liter two-cylinder never gets tired of adding gas. As with ATVs or snowmobiles, this is added with your right thumb rather than turning the throttle lever. And how does this affect women? Well, read what our blonde colleague said:

“Because I have a three-year-old son at home who is crazy about tractors, motorcycles and cars, it was clear to me what a tricycle looks like and, above all, it must be very safe if it is also intended for children. - in the mini version, of course, and instead of a gasoline battery. I never even dreamed that he could be so wild that it evoked primal emotions in me ... Like a rider, I swung in the saddle, oops, in the seat, hugged Petra and waited. He started the engine, squeezing his stomach muscles with his fingers. 'Ready?' 'Ready!' He left and I hugged him like he was my last lifeline. Adrenaline did its job, screams of expectation turned into screams. Like on a death train! Getting used to the carcass, which was tamed by a professional car dealership, I looked at the counter with one eye. “It's only 80 km/h! Sculpt yourself! ' I said to myself. And it worked! Then the trip became a real treat - even to Peter's ears."

Well, while driving, it definitely wasn't dramatic, it all happened in well-controlled circumstances. But maybe next time she wants to grab the wheel. And finally, the most important question: "Would you do it again?" "Anytime" she was panting with adrenaline as she sat down in her Wind again and hurried towards her new "grandmother's" adventures. I drove along a beautiful winding road to the Polyanskaya Valley to try the turns. I really can't resist doing this on Spyder.
