When I was in college, at the end of the new year, my girlfriend would pull me to die and join in the fun. Although I had 800 reluctances in my heart, I would choose false prosperity for everyone’s happiness.
When I greet my friends and her with a trembling body and a false smile in the cold wind, I will fall into a more severe torture-that is, I cannot get a boat in the boundless car river Tickets can only rely on their trembling legs to start a long march, looking for a way home from the West Fourth Ring Road.
At that time, watching cars speeding by, I was thinking that having a car is so fucking good, so fucking cool. And many years later, when I actually drove to and from get off work in the car, I realized that I was just going from one kind of hardship to another. A car is just another form of a cage.
What brought me this sense of loss was not only the side parking spaces that I couldn’t get in for three years, but also the headlights that looked like flash bombs, but also the old scooter that was rampant like an Eastern European bastard. Confused me.

The so-called old age scooter is the subway in the pastAn upgraded version of the disabled motorbike at the door. The scientific name is low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV), commonly known as the old generation, and it is often called luxury old man music in the local dialect.
Perhaps in your impression, they are rudimentary. They are happy cars that can go out and pull people to earn money with a few tri-ply boards picked up by the roadside; but under the tide of industrial upgrading in the motherland, they It has long been the ultimate evolution, and it has become a reduced version of the car surrounded by thin iron plates.
They are not only branded with the mark of industrial design, but also provide a broad stage for the excess creative passion of the working people.
Although the artistic accomplishments of collage design are open to question, the self-made license of Beijing A Six Six provides a footnote for the interpretation of folk worship.

In terms of configuration, they are also in line with the big brother, and strive to be indistinguishable from cars: from reversing images to Bluetooth playback, cars should have them, and they have chanting machines that cars don’t have.
Therefore, if the car is the home of every adult man, then no one should doubt that the old generation car can give its drivers a kind of yurt-like comfort in the wilderness.
Magic shapes and bizarre designs are perhaps the biggest taboos of this prostrate in the age of consumerism.
But this is not enough to construct people’s deep fear of old cars on the road. It was never a car or an object that really spread the fear on the highway, but the hurricane rush of people and cars.
Therefore, although the name of the old scooters sounds slow, in fact, they are really strange under the policy of promoting new energy vehicles.

“The old generation car is like a Siberian racing horse, a real damn road bastard. If it is a forced merging, it is equivalent to an infringement on the power of one’s car. Then I think all cars in Beijing need to Being raped by old scooter two or three times.”
Xiaotian, who lives in Tongzhou, has more experience with it, from helplessness to anger, to when he is used to working overtime every day to see that the parking spaces are occupied by old generations, and he calmly walks around 2km away from his door to park.
The next day, the sun rose as usual. When he drove a car with a license plate he rented from a friend for 10,000 yuan a year to work, he watched the old generation cars ride across the parking line one after another. In front of his car, he only felt a trace of absurdity.
