25. Let's change cars
Ms Caitlin was very efficient, and soon Emperor Wu received a building permit, which was the right to use the ranch in South Australia.
At the same time, he was also sent a certificate of title deed, a piece of paper with an official seal, on which was the code of the pasture land, and the name of the owner was impressively written "di wu", although he had been mentally prepared, but he was still excited.
Emperor Wu has a domestic C1 driver's license, even though the Australian driver's license system is strict, but for the certification system of the Celestial Empire in my country, it is still inconvenient, not enough to be down-to-earth, not enough to be local, Emperor Wu is ready to sign up for a crash course in the car god.
Australia's driver's license is a bit perverted, not to say that the difficulty is varied, what L card, red P card, green P card, full card, to fight all the way to upgrade, and there is no chance of resurrection, once there is a certain violation of the deduction of points before the full license will also be revoked, a careless full plate is lost, the Australian government hehe.
Emperor Wu's dream is to drive a Hummer to gallop in the vast Australian continent, judging from the current situation, although he has six million, he still does not dare to take the Hummer into the ranch, a large fuel consumer, and he has just started his career to get a tanker truck back, and he is afraid that the rabbit in the grass has to shake his head and sigh.
The Hummer can't be welcomed, but the Holden left behind by the Hans couple at home should be replaced, and the pickup truck is the standard on the world's ranches, and the big guy who eats and works.
Due to the small population of the town, there are no 4S shops here, only comprehensive car dealers, and mainly agricultural machinery, only a few sporadic cars are sporadically sold.
"Motor City" is the only non-agricultural locomotive sales point in the town, the name is very straightforward, there is no prefix to call the Motor City, as capricious as the bar in the center of the town, it is called a bar.
"Motor City" said that it is a warehouse seller, and it is not good to say that it is a vegetable market, all kinds of brands of cars are piled up in warehouses, and new cars are disgraced like second-hand cars that have been put for several years, which is not to blame the sellers, the car sales in Pelican Town are too low, and the Australians are really, all like the Hans couple, buying a car and driving it for decades, and the Motor City is already a high incense if it does not pay for death.
Emperor Wu walked around like a vegetable market, and a bearded father was also choosing, very fat, wearing a headscarf, like a drag racing party on the streets of North America, he looked very enthusiastic when he saw Asian faces, and took the initiative to greet Emperor Wu.
After chatting, I found out that he had been to Dongguan, China when he was young, and those nights were wonderful, and he was full of praise for Asian women.
He said that Australian women are very fat overall, and it is sky-high to find a local girl with a good figure in the red light district, and it is no exaggeration to say that it costs nearly 10,000 Australian dollars a night, and in Dongguan, this price can be happy for a month.
This bearded man who is related to China acts as Emperor Wu's vehicle introducer, and he is very earthy and authentic old Australia in terms of style and accent.
"Australia is a country of immigrants, and many Asian immigrants are willing to buy Toyota and Mazda, especially Toyota Corolla and Camry. ”
The bearded man looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I hate RB a lot, mainly because of their sashimi, which I think is just too unpalatable! ”
"Dude, I agree with you, but forget about the car, in fact, I work on the ranch, and I need a leather pickup truck. Emperor Wu said.
The bearded man hugged his head dramatically, "Oh, I forgot to ask you why you bought the car, did you see the pickup truck over there, it's very popular on the ranch." ”
Emperor Wu walked over, and there were pickup trucks from various countries here, which were dazzling.
"TOYOTA, YOU SHOULD HATE SASHIMI AS MUCH AS I do. The bearded man walked in front of the Toyota road and muttered to himself.
In the end, Emperor Wu targeted the Dodge Ram and the Ford F series, and his funds were completely affordable.
The ram embodies the power of American muscles, while the four fords on the Raptor giant grille give people a complete wildness.
"Although I also hate Americans equally, I have to praise them for their achievements in the automobile industry, and pickup trucks are a silhouette of American life. The Ford Raptor sells hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually in North America, ranking first in U.S. pickup truck sales for 35 consecutive years. ”
Emperor Wu once saw the Ford Raptor in the capital, the body is half higher than the average sedan, the wheels are huge, and it is particularly eye-catching on the road, but due to the national policy, the words are sprayed on the doors on both sides, and the tail is also pasted with reflective stickers, and the mighty temperament is suddenly filed in half.
In the end, Emperor Wu bought an all-black top with Ford Raptor F150, equivalent to 280,000 yuan, during which Emperor Wu asked car enthusiasts Ma Wei, which was half cheaper than in China!
After completing the formalities, Emperor Wu planned to drive the unlicensed new car to the road for a turn and experience the thrill of sitting in a big killer.
Today is Thursday, a weekday, and the population of Pelican Town is not large, and there is not a single car on the road, Emperor Wu feels that the town is like his own back garden, and he feels refreshed.
Although the Raptor is a pickup truck, the driving experience is no worse than that of a sedan, and it is very comfortable to drive.
Driving this big guy, Emperor Wu took a ride around the town, taking this opportunity to learn about the customs here.
There aren't many shops in town, but they cover everything from farm tool stores to clothing boutiques.
Emperor Wu was enjoying this leisurely time, when suddenly a car came in the opposite direction!
Emperor Wu slammed the steering wheel and passed by it!
"Damn, I'm in a hurry to be reincarnated!"
Emperor Wu couldn't help but lean out of the window and scolded, it turns out that the quality of Australians is also very average!
Emperor Wu restarted the car and continued on the road, driving less than a hundred meters, an ambulance actually rushed over in the opposite direction!
"Stupid! you don't have to be in a hurry to save people!" Emperor Wu was completely angry with the capitalist driver!
The next twenty seconds were unforgettable for Emperor Wu as he realized that it was himself who was the fool, and he forgot that Australia drove on the left-hand side.
Residents on the side of the road were stunned, only to see an unlicensed Ford Raptor driving in the wrong direction on the road, the driver was swearing while driving, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the passing vehicles disturbing him to go the wrong way, and someone immediately called the police station.
The residents don't know what he's complaining about, did he buy the whole road? Is he the president's son? Or did he marry the mayor's daughter?"
This pickup truck immediately became the focus of the town, making the calm town lively.
"It's so convenient to drive on the right side of the yarn, you have to engage in this crooked way!"
Just as Emperor Wu turned around and changed lanes, a police motorcycle stopped not far from him, waved Emperor Wu to stop, and even took out a pistol.
All pulled out their guns, and dropped a fart, Emperor Wu quickly turned off the engine and got out of the car, the Western police had a glass heart, and shot out of self-defense at every turn, Emperor Wu didn't want to be a gun.
"Raise your hands above your head and stand there without moving!"
The policeman has a very loud voice, and he usually has few cases, but he finally caught a chance to show himself.
"Relax! Relax, man! This Taser is easy to misfire, I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just forgot about the traffic laws. Emperor Wu calmed him down.
The policeman was a young black man, with a sturdy build, about the size of Emperor Wu, and his movements were very capable.
"I don't want to shoot, so you'd better not use your brains and turn your back until I'm done. The policeman said cautiously.
"No problem, but don't hit me in the head, I'm afraid it hurts. ”
The black police checked around, and there was no problem, which made Emperor Wu turn around.
Emperor Wu saw the badge on his chest, his name was Daniel.
"Mr. Daniel, my name is Emperor Wu, I have no ill intentions, can you imagine a hairy boy who just got his driver's license drove the car onto the wrong road. Emperor Wu shrugged.
"Man, according to the procedure, I should have handcuffed you back to the police station, but I didn't do it, do you know why. Daniel relaxed, too.
Emperor Wu jumped on the front cover of the Raptor car, looked at the blue sky, and replied with a smile, "Because no one will drive on the left side except you and the British, even if you handcuff me back to the police station, you will release me after two hours, I am still quite familiar with Australian laws and policies." ”
Daniel laughed when he heard the British, "Wu, you're lucky to meet me, if you meet the captain, he's a serious person." ”
Although Daniel is a police officer who enforces the law impartially, there has never been a big case in the town, and peace has always been the hallmark of Pelican Town. During his five years in office, the biggest case he ever did was helping a rancher find a lost cow.
"Dude, why is it the security police and not the traffic police, don't tell me that Pelican Town is so small that there is no traffic police force. "Emperor Wu was puzzled from the beginning.
"The traffic police in the town are catching speeding on a nearby highway. Daniel paused for two seconds, then burst out laughing, "It's so funny, the traffic police team actually hid behind the camouflage protective net halfway up the mountain and caught speeding with a laser speedometer, it's incredible! Can you imagine that they are in a group of two like ambushing by the woods on the road?"
Before coming to Australia, Emperor Wu read a related post on the Internet, saying that the traffic police in Melbourne were very bullish, like snipers wearing camouflage uniforms and hiding in the woods to catch speeding.
Emperor Wu took the car to the side of the road and chatted with Daniel for a while, and the two fell in love, Daniel is the kind with a big personality.
Taking this opportunity, Emperor Wu asked some questions about private guns, and the shotgun left by the old Hans did not have a gun license and did not dare to use it openly.
In fact, Australia used to be the same as the United States, and guns were a part of people's lives. At that time, gun shops in Australia were as profitable as furniture stores, not only with a wide variety of products, but also very cheap prices, and at the same time, the purchase procedure was also very simple.
But since 1996, when the world-shattering shooting at Port Arthur, a tourist destination in Tasmania, killed 35 people, Australia's gun law was immediately changed.
After that, the Australian government strictly banned guns, and at the same time, the new bill abolished the gun self-defense law, and any form of self-defense with firearms is illegal, so Australian guns are only used for competition and hunting.
Hunting in the wild also requires a hunter's license, and the hunting time and so on must be filed with the government, in short, it is very troublesome.
Emperor Wu ran a ranch, so he inevitably had to deal with guns, and after getting to know Daniel, it was much easier to consult him when he encountered problems in the future.
Daniel gave Emperor Wu a suggestion that although the government was strict with gun control, it was very loose with weapons such as bows and crossbows.
Emperor Wu was very excited when he heard this, and he wanted to buy a crossbow.
When watching the American drama "The Walking Dead", he liked the tough guy crossbow man Daryl in it very much, and now he can experience it for himself.
There is no bow shop in the town of Cali, and you have to go to the town of Pakrit, 70 kilometers away, where there is a long-established Australian shop that makes bows and crossbows.
What does Emperor Wu do to pay attention to efficiency, say goodbye to Daniel, Emperor Wu drove straight away.
